Dear Adia,Hannah and Miram,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations girls.
I know when Miss McGeady had the blogging challenge Bianca's family really loved commenting and connecting to Miss McGeady's blog.
Am looking forward to reading your posts that you will be putting on.
Have fun.
Yours sincerely AA.
@Aaron,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your thoughtful comment!
That is very nice of you to congratulate us. I am sure all three of us will enjoy making our posts.
You are getting better and better each time you comment and I think that soon you will be in the top three for Family Blogging Month someday.
Once again, thank you for congratulating us!
@AA,
Thank you for your gracious comment! That is very nice of you to take the time to congratulate us.
I am looking forward as well to post on the classroom blog.
I noticed that you wrote that Bianca loved the Family Blogging Challenge when Miss McGeady (soon to be Mrs. Morris) had it. So do I!
Family Blogging Month is a grand idea and it inspires our relatives and close friends to be involved with commenting.
Soon we will get many comments, just from our family members. Maybe over 100. Wow!
Well, I reckon I better get going now.
"See" you later!
Your new blogging buddy,
Adia :-)

Dear Adia, Hannah, and Miriam,
ReplyDeleteMarty (Adia's dad), Stefan, and I would like to congratulate the three of you for your exceptional work. We're very proud of all of you. You girls look very happy on the super-cute picture.
Also, I would like to praise your classmates who congratulated you today. I enjoy hearing and witnessing the kindness and the caring for one another. It's beautiful to express happiness for another person's accomplishments. What a marvelous group of kids in Mrs. Yollis' class. You girls are very lucky to have such loving classmates.
@ Adia
I can't believe that you just wouldn't take off the crown that Mrs. Yollis had so creatively designed for you. I don't remember the last time you allowed anything to be placed on your head for that length of time. Really hilarious.
@ Miriam
My goodness, it was incredible to see how many cousins and relatives of yours commented during the Family Blogging month. You must be delighted. This was just truly amazing. WOW!
Have a wonderful evening until next time.
Be blessed,
Ava (Adia's proud MAMA)

@ BB,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind compliment! I watched your post about the twelve Apostles, it was wonderful. You are an amazing blogger, I can see why you earned your own blog.
I am very excited about my post, I have a few ideas but I have not made my final decision.
It was a lot of fun Skyping with your class, I learned so much about your school and Australia. The best part is that I now know what you look like!
Your blogging buddy,
Hannah
@ Ava (Adia's mom),
ReplyDeleteThank you for lovely compliment. I agree with you about how wonderful our classmates are, many of them have taken the time to congratulate us.
I think it's really funny that Adia would not take her crown off. Did she sleep with it?
Sincerely,
Hannah
Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteFrom another class blogger in Plympton, MA, I love this idea. I'm so glad to see all of the family getting involved. Your students are doing a great job!

Does it take a lot of work?
Thanks for congratulating us!

Thank you for taking the time to write a comment and congratulate the top three winners.
It is so kind of you to be happy for us.
I love how you always take time and effort into your comments. You don't just do it just to get it over with. Now that is really thoughtful!
Have a great evening!
@Ben,
Thank you for your comment!
You are a very good blogger.
Thank you for taking the time to congratulate the top three winners.
Thanks again!
Bye everyone,

Dear Mrs Yollis,
ReplyDeleteThank you for inviting our family to blog. My family was impressed with what we are doing in class. I invited my parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents to blog. Most of them took the time to write a comment. It made me feel special to know that they cared enough to take the time to blog. It is because of them that I was able to have so many comments. I am very grateful to have such a supportive family.
@Aaron,
Thank you for your congratulations. I am really looking forward to getting frozen yogurt at Golden Spoons. Do you have any ideas of what you would like to see as a free post?
@AA and Bianca
It was very nice of you to congratulate me. Biance is lucky to also have such a supportive Mom and family who also won a family blogging month. Her post on the 12 apostles was very intersting.
@Adia
Congratulation! You are the first place blogger! Your comments are always thoughtful and interesting. Do you know what you want to do for your free post?
@Ava
Thank you for your congratulations and support. You are right, we have the most wonderful class. It is nice that everyone is supportive of each other. I am also really lucky to have a large and supportive family.
@Kristen,
Thank you for congratulating me and being such a good friend. I am looking forward to putting together my free choice post.
@Hannah,
Congratulations! We did it! You are an excellent blogger and your comments are always well written. I look forward to reading your free choice posts. What is your favorite flavor of frozen yogurt?

@ Hannah,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your reply.
I am glad you checked out my guest post. I will be looking forward to your guest post. I loved Skyping with you too.
It is nice to see what you look like too.
From Bianca.
@ Adia,
Thank you for your reply. Awesome questions Adia.
Yes I did like my first post. Yes it did take along time.
Have you thought about your post?
From BB.
@ Hannah,
ReplyDeleteHere is the answer to your question:
Adia insisted on keeping her special crown on her head until the second she went to bed. I'm certain that the thought entered her mind to find a way to keep it on for even the sleeping hours.
The reason I'm certain about this fact is because just last night she was trying to get away with keeping on her glasses when I caught her in the dark during prayer time. Your buddy here tried to convince me that they would make it into the morning hours unharmed. As you can imagine, I was not so easily convinced and I stood steadfast with my opposition.
@ Mrs. Yollis and Class
Our family wishes everyone who celebrates the Jewish holidays, a happy Hanukkah. May you cherish this special time with your loved ones.
Be blessed,
Ava (Adia's MAMA)
Dear Hannah, Miriam and Adia,
ReplyDeleteCongratulatons! I can not believe that you get so many prizes. My family and I love Golden Spoon and Islands. Do you like the prizes?
Sincerely,
Jaden
@ Adi, Mairam, and Hannah,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I never knew that you guys would have a vast amount of comments. I was so surprised about that. I only had 13 comments, not very many. You and your families must love commenting a lot.
From,
Nicolas
Dear Adia, Miriam, and Hannah,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
@ Adia,
You did a great job making lots of great comments. I loved how you put a lot of effort into your creative comments. You also used high level words. Do you like the restaurant "Kings Fish House?" Have you ever been there before? I've been to that restaurant and I like to eat the shrimp kabobs with white rice. Yummy! I hope you enjoy your meal there.
@ Miriam,
Congratulations on being second place. I think you did a great job commenting on other people's blogs. Have you ever been to "Islands?" I have, and like to order chicken tenders and french fries. I hope you enjoy a delicious meal there! Have you ever been to "Golden Spoon?" I have, and my favorite flavor ice cream there is chocolate and vanilla swirled with cookie dough toppings. What is your favorite flavor?
@ Hannah,
I think you did a great job coming in third place. I love how you got 32 comments in. I only got 11 comments, but hope to write more and more each week. Have you ever been to "Islands?" Do you go to "Golden Spoon?" I like both of those places too! I hope you enjoy a stupendous meal and dessert. The vast amount of times that I have eaten at "Islands" and "Golden Spoon" have been delicious! Do you know what your new post is going to be about? I can't wait to read your new post.
Hope you all enjoy your meals!
Warmly,
Alexa
@ Miriam,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your really nice reply.
Yes it is nice to have such a supportive family and family members who are keen to blog.
I enjoy having a blog, but it is hard work sometimes.
Have you thought of a post as yet.
From your blogging buddy,
Bianca.
@Bianca,
ReplyDeleteThank you for replying back to me. I have been thinking a lot about what I can do my free post on and I have come up with 2 ideas. I play the piano and I was planning on explaining about the instrument and how to play it. I am also working on a small rug and I can demonstrate how to weave the rug using a latch hook. Which idea do you like better?
From,
★Miriam★
@ Miram,
ReplyDeleteThank you for replying to me.
I have been thinking about you too.
I love your post ideas. Well for my opinion I think that the piano playing post would be very interesting becasue people would love to know what music you play and how you play the piano too.
Also I play piano too.
Hope to hear from you again,
From Bianca.
Congratulations Hannah, Miram & Adia! Enjoy your prizes! What a great idea. I have 8th graders who are complaining about blogging so this may be an idea to use.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays :)
How neat that you created a family blog contest. This would be a great way to get family members involved in blogging, giving them a new way to communicate.
