Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteHi I'm Isabella, I'm one of your new students.
I'm looking forward to getting my acer! I'm so excited to get my own computer even though I know it is gonna be a big responsibility.
My hobbies are gymnastics and Girl Scouts. In gymnastics my favorite coach is Coach Tracy. My favorite event to compete on is vault. I love to spring on the bounce board.
Your dog is the cutest thing I ever saw! What was the biggest fish you ever caught? Do you have children?
@ Isabella,
DeleteThank you so much for your fabulous comment! I love that you jumped right in!
I can't wait to hear more about your gymnastics hobby. You said your favorite event is the vault. What is the most difficult part about competing?
You asked about the biggest fish I've ever caught. The one I have in the net is a pretty big one. You also asked if I have children. No, Mr. Yollis and I do not. However, Buck is like a family member for sure!
Do you have any pets?
Warmly,
Mrs. Y♥llis
I have 2 fish. The hardest part of competing is... not getting a first place medal.
DeleteHi Mrs. Yollis, I hit publish too soon! I have one more question for you... do you know how to do a round off? I did one in my flip grid video. I hope you like it.

Making logos sounds interesting. What do you create? Are they logos for companies or for fantasy companies?

How funny that you have a Moosey too. Where did you get yours? I bought my Moosey on a fishing trip in Alaska. We saw a real moose, so I thought the stuffed animal was a good souvenir.
What songs can you play on your ukulele?

I love to look at the stars as well. Mr. Yollis and I were out last month looking to see a comet that was visible just below the Big Dipper. Did you get a chance to see it? What is your favorite constellation?
Your star-gazing teacher,
Mrs. Y♥llis
We saw the comet, too. It looked really blurry and cool. We also really like to look at planets. We have seen Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus. Do you like to look at planets? What are you’re favorite constellations? I also really liked talking to you.

DeleteWhat a wonderful first blog comment! Well done!
One of the things I like about your comment is that you gave us a pronunciation key for your name. So clever!
You said your mom is from Canada and her family is from Scotland. Have you ever visited either of these countries? If so, what were they like?
A pet rabbit named Calvin? He sounds so cute! What does he do for exercise?
You sound like quite a musician! We are going to have to have you share some of your talent sometime! What is your favorite song to play on the piano?
