Where I’m From . . . .

I’m from a cozy movie night when we sit in our pajamas staring at the TV.

I’m from my mom’s homemade rolls and a winter day of sitting by a toasty warm fireplace.

I’m from reading in my room and playing outside.

I’m from horseback riding and climbing a tree on a beautiful spring day.

I’m from a teal-colored room and a wood stove.

I’m from eating pizza and riding my bike.

I’m from a big bonfire that we sit by and toast marshmallows into the night.

I’m from raindrops that go “tink” when they hit the roof.

I’m from trees that sway in the wind.

I’m from home.

Welcome to Your Blog!

Welcome to your blog. This will be a place where you will post pieces you have written. The audience for your writing will not only be students in your own classroom; it will include students in other elementary classrooms as well. Other trusted adults and students will comment on your writing, making suggestions that will help you to become a better writer.

Always post good writing to your blog. When you post comments about others’ writing, please be considerate and respectful as well as helpful. Treat other online members of this project the same way you would treat them if they were right there in the room with you.

You may not give out personal information, like your name, address, phone number, email address, or family information, to anyone – not even to other members of this project. When you work online on the internet, like we will be doing, it’s important to your safety that you keep personal information about yourself private – even if someone else asks.

If you ever see or read anything on your blog or someone else’s blog that disturbs you or makes you feel uncomfortable, please tell your teacher right away. She will know how to help.

Finally, be sure to let your parents know about this project. Every day, talk to them about what you’re doing and what you’re learning. They will be interested to hear about your new experiences!
