How excited it is each day when we sign onto our classroom blog and see that another country or another state has visited our blog! We have hung a giant world map in the entryway of our school so that all can share in our excitement. You see, we are the first class on our campus to attempt blogging, but we don’t think it will remain that way for long. The red dots represent the people who are responsible for our enthusiasm. For that we thank each and every one of you.
Now, where shall we go today? If YOU are reading this, we ask you, “If you could visit any place in the world, where would you go and why?
I want to go to the Pacific Ocean because of the fish and islands.
Thanks for visiting our class blog. We also love having other classes comment on our blog. We come from Wodonga,Australia. We love our country but also love learning about other countries. Keep in touch during the blogging challenge.
Thanks for leaving a message on our blog!We’ve joined the 2009 Blog Challenge and very eager to start. I love the picture and the giant map. I will have to use that great idea for my class. We’re still learning lots about blogging and it’s great you have helped us.
The place I’d like to visit most is Iran. It would be so dramatically different to the world I live in here in Melbourne!
We just started a blog too (in December) and all the students love looking at the map and getting responses from all over the world (we are a fourth grade class from Beaufort, South Carolina – http://www.mrsheatonsclass1.blogspot.com). We are still working on better sentence structure, capitalization and punctuation but the kids LOVE blogging (so do I…I have two blogs of my own). Anyway to answer the travel question I am going to have to say anywhere in Asia, Africa and Australia (I have a goal to visit all seven continents and I am missing those three).
Mrs. Heaton
I would stay in Texas and explore all
the cities.
Yes we are looking forward to the challenge in 2009 , here in New Zealand too.
Personally I would like to visit somewhere in the USA, ( I have been there) to see and hear some of my favourite authors.
G’day Mrs C, To make a link BACK to the Edublogger birthday celebrations, just add this to the bottom of your post .. This post has been written on “tips for using blogs with students” as part of The Edublogger’s Birthday Celebration Competition! Change the topic though to what you have written about.
Or use this link in the bottom of the post http://theedublogger.edublogs.org/2009/02/04/the-edubloggers-first-birthday-celebration
Sorry the first link didn’t work, so use the second one starting with http://
Hi. My name is Mrs. Hernandez. I am a teacher in Florida, USA. My 4th grade class also has a blog. We looked at your blog today, and we think it looks great. We really liked the pictures of the dog. We were interested in your class because you are a multi-age class. We also noticed that you have a small class. We would like to know more about you. Please visit our blog and leave comments for us.
Also, you asked about Voicethread. It is really easy to use. I would be happy to help you if you need help, but I doubt you will. Just go to voicethread.com and check it out.
Thanks for stopping by to our blog. We are a small school in the Highlands of Scotland but what we lack in size, we make up for in enthusiasm! We love blogging and have been doing it for over a year and have had over 4,000 visitors which blows our mind! I like your idea of a huge flag to keep track of visitors to the blog.
Happy Blogging!
Mr Quigley
Head Teacher, Marybank Primary School, Scotland
