  1. Dear Mrs. Yollis and Class (and Sarah and Miriam),

    Congratulations on these nominations! This is exciting news. I think it is especially meaningful that the Family Blogging Month post was nominated since it includes so many interesting comments, observations, introductions and connections.

    My favorite thing about the two class blogs are the way they are improving our students' writing skills. I can't wait to see if any current students go on to become successful bloggers like Sarah and Miriam.

    Way to go, everyone! And thank you to Mrs. Yollis for being our blogging leader.

    Sincerely,
    Lisa (Troy's mom)

  2. Dear Class,

    Did anyone notice that my post should have said, "My favorite thing about the two class blogs is the way they are improving our students' writing skills?" That is because the word "thing" is singular, not plural. I should have proofread my comment more than once and maybe slowed down a little. Doing those two things usually makes for better writing.

    From,
    Lisa

  3. Hello there, Class - Congratulations on your continued blogging achievements and recognition. I'd vote for you all but, alas, having grown up in a different century, I have no account with either of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or Google+. But all is not lost as I did manage to write this comment. :-)

    Keep up the good work,

    Winston's Dad

  4. Dear Mrs. Yollis,

    Congratulations on the nominations! It is so exciting and I feel so fortunate that Leah is part of your class.

    I love that your students are improving their writing skills by using the computer. I didn't have a computer at home until I was 16! I bet your students can't imagine their lives without technology. They don't know how good they have it!

    Good luck!

    Warmly,
    Jen (Leah's mom)

    Dear Mrs. Yollis and Class,

    We have had such an incredible time blogging over the last month. We were even up late on the night of the 5th (the last day of the blogging contest) getting in our last comments. It has really improved everyone's writing and typing skills I'm sure!

    It took me awhile to figure out how to vote, but I gave the thumbs up to this blog. We all absolutely love it!

    Happy Blogging!
    Meredith
