Each student will make a list of their family members. After looking through the archive, students will select specific posts tailored to the interest of a particular relative. We're inviting everyone to comment: moms, dads, brothers, sisters, grandmas, grandpas, uncles, aunts, and cousins. We welcome friends, too!

Students will be inviting their family and friends to participate in our online spaces. Comments can me left on this classroom blog, our Yollis' 365 Project, our student blogs, or for our blogging buddies around the world. (See the archive) The top three bloggers will be proclaimed Family Blogging Month winners and receive honor and prizes. 

This year, awards will also be given for best commenters! 

The Quality Commenter Extraordinaire

Parents and friends, try to earn a 2-point comment!
