Ms. Tulbure and her students ♥ to share what they are learning and experiencing. In an effort to include more family members in our online community, we are proclaiming:
November is Family Blogging Month!
Each student made a list of their family members. After looking through the archive, students selected specific posts tailored to the interest of a particular relative.
We're inviting everyone to comment: moms, dads, brothers, sisters, grandmothers, grandfathers, uncles, aunts, and cousins.
We welcome friends, too!
Students will be inviting their family and friends to participate in a conversation!
Maybe we'll get some 2-point comments!
(We frequently evaluate the comments that our blog has received. In order to earn the 2-points, a comment must be error-free and add something to the post. Many of Ms. Tulbure's third graders have already met the challenge!)
If you don't know what to say, here is a video made by Mrs. Yollis' third graders.
Learn FIVE tips for writing a quality comment!
If you don't know How to leave a comment, here is a video tutorial about HOW to leave a comment on our blog.
Here is the key we will use for Family Blogging Month.
What do you think of our idea?

Hi,this is Elior here
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great idea. We get to know about other people.
This is my fist time doing family month for blogging. I hope it goes well.If it goes well. I am going to wish it is every month. Do you think it is going to go well?
Hi Elior, this is also my first time blogging for family blogging month, I think it will go very well!
DeleteDear class, I'm so excited to start family blogging this month.
ReplyDeleteI have so many family members that can write on our post.
Does anyone have any family members that like to blog?
Your classmate,
Charlotte
Hi Charlotte it is so awesome to blog with family members and teach them how to blog. I have a younger brother named Sasha I bet he would love to blog. Do you have a younger brother or sister who would love to blog?
DeleteHi Sam - I don't have a younger brother or sister who will blog but I do have an older sister who will blog! I wonder what she'll say?
DeleteHi class! I think this is a really fun way to share our blog with our family and friends. I'm thinking of asking my cousins, grandparents, uncle, sister and parents. One set of my grandparents live in Austin, Texas. They moved away this summer. This will be cool way to get to share my class activities with them. Do you have family outside of California?
ReplyDeleteHello class! Noah has invited me, his mom, to participate in Family Blogging Month. What a great way to interact with your classroom!
ReplyDeleteA little about our family, Noah is half Hungarian (mom's side) and half Russian (dad's side), but we have family in Russia, Israel, Canada, Texas, New York and California, to name a few. I would be excited to learn where your families are from too.
Skyler's mom joining the blog! Skyler is Chinese. Both sides of the family immigrated from Hong Kong, China. We too, have relatives living all over the world, including Singapore, Canada and Australia.
DeleteHi Susan! I haven't been to China yet, but I love the culture and the food. I am also intrigued by Chinese medicine and the more holistic and integrative approach they utilize over Western medicine's medical model. I do plan on seeing China someday!
DeleteWhere would you like to travel to?
Hi Skyler's Mom It is so cool that All Skyler's family is Chinese! All my dad’s side of family is from Russia! His mom, dad ,grandma and brother moved to Cleveland, then Italy. then to Los Angeles. do you have any family that came to the United States from another country or state?
DeleteKindly,
Noah
We have been busy traveling within the US. We spend last summer with grandma and grandpa in Nashville. We rented a lake side house, right across of famous country singer, Dolly Parton's house! It was a treat to see her house when we buzz on by on our jet skies. We also have been busy visiting national parks. We visited Grand Canyon last winter. We biked around the rim of the canyons. It was breath taking to see the rock formations and all the wild animals that lives within the habitat! We hope to visit Yosemite when Skyler gets to 4th Grade. All 4th graders can get a free national park card!
DeleteThanks for the tip Susan, I had no idea fourth graders get a free national park card!
DeleteDear Ms. Tulbure's Class,
ReplyDeleteIt's Grant's mom, Carrie. I am in the middle of teaching Grant's Baba and Popi how to blog. Have any of you taught your relatives how to leave a blog post yet? If so, how did it go? Was it easy to explain? Was it hard to explain? It's been pretty easy for me to explain so far; and, the instructional videos help. This is going to be a fun month of reading blog posts from family members. I look forward to hearing what everyone has to say.
Happy Blogging!
Carrie
Hi Carrie,
DeleteAs it turns out I am now teaching my mother, Noah's grandmother, to blog. The trouble is she lives in Austin, Texas and as it were, it is proving to be very difficult to teach over the phone! Any pointers?
Hi Elita,
DeleteThis is your mother. You and Noah taught me how to blog, and so far I think I have done pretty well.
What do you think class? Have I done a good job so far?
Hello Logan's Father,
DeleteMy name is Eva, and I am Noah's grandmother. Noah is half Russian too, on his fathers side and half Hungarian on his mothers side. That would be my side, since I am Noah's mother's mother.
I enjoy all kinds of food, but Chinese food is one of my top favorites. What's Logan's favorite food?
Woof, woof, woof,
DeleteI'm Yogi, Noah's grandmother's white German Shepherd dog. I really miss licking Noah's face, especially when he's eaten a hamburger. I also miss playing with Remy, Noah's dog. Did Noah ever tell his class that his dog is a little black French Poodle?
Do any of you have a dog? What kind of dog do you all have? Do you have other pets?
Nice talking to you. Bow wow!
Hi Elita,
DeleteTeaching how to blog over the phone sounds like a very challenging task. It was difficult enough trying to teach in person! I think the best pointer I can give is to make sure that Noah's grandmother is following along on the computer as you read through everything with her and teach her.
How is she enjoying living in Austin? I have 2 cousins who live in Austin; and I traveled to Austin twice last year to attend each of their weddings. Have you had a chance to visit your mom in Austin yet? If so, what did you think of it?
Good luck teaching her how to blog!
xo,
Carrie
Hi Carrie,
DeleteThanks for the pointers, we did manage to get her (and her dog) up and running! So far they love Austin and are in the process of buying a home in the country. We have never been there yet, but are looking forward to visiting them, maybe over Spring or Summer break. I hear they have awesome "watering holes," or Recreational swim areas in the river. They even have inner tubes you can ride on and they have areas where your dog can swim too! Sounds like fun, can't wait to see it!
Hi Carrie my cat, brother, Dad and I blogged so far. When I taught them it was pretty easy teaching them. My friend Edan really likes watching the blog videos. It is crazy we have 40 comments. I love replying to comments rather than reading them because it gives me practice how to type. What family member your family blogged?
DeleteFrom your friend, Sam
Hello, I am Lenore's pet dog Sparky. I wonder what it is like being on a blog post. Lenore must be very lucky to have a classroom and a class blog. WOOF WOOF! I think I hear the door bell. WOOF WOOF!
ReplyDeleteHello Class sorry my dog is so mischievous. He loves chasing his tail.
Sparky here! Oh Oh were was I? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, anyway I love my treats better than my actual food. I am very picky sometimes. I love playing with Lenore and her sister Leann . They are ...... AWESOME! They are so cool. I wish I was a human.
Would you like to be a dog? (say yes say yes!)
Sincerely,
Sparky
Hi class, I'm Sharon, Lenore's mom and I have to say it was a pleasure meeting you all on Halloween. Sparky is Lenore's grandma's dog and he just loves our family, I have to admit we spoil him a lot when he comes over and his favorite person is Lenore. I hope all of you have amazing holidays this year with your families, maybe I will get to see all of you again at class parties.
DeleteSincerely,
Sharon (Lenore's mom)
I sure did enjoy Halloween last week. Sam got a lot of candy and shared a bunch of it with me. I only took a few of his pieces when he wasn't looking! (Sam, what happened to most of your Reese's Peanut Butter Cups??--mystery solved!)
ReplyDeleteWe normally have some project around the house we work on together. This week it's painting some patio railing. We scraped, sanded and pressure washed. The only thing left is to paint!
Best wishes to all bloggers,
David (Sam's Dad)
Noah and I love the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups the best too! We got so much candy though, between Noah and his sister, that we donated nearly five pounds of it to Operation Gratitude. Operation Gratitude sends the candy to our U.S. troops overseas. If you have extra candy you might want to share, you can take it to the Boys and Girls Club on campus and they will send it in for you. Hey, that would be a great way to honor our troops for Veteran's Day!
DeleteDear Keira's class,
ReplyDeletemy name is Mocha and I'm Keira's crazy little dog. She rescued me from the shelter when I was a baby. Now I'm 2 years old and my favorite thing in the morning is waking her up by licking her toes. I don't think she likes it, but I think it's funny and she usually laughs and that makes me happy.
bow wow,
Mocha
Dear bloggers'
ReplyDeleteI am a very fussy cat. I like licking Sam's face. I love Sam so much because he pets me all the time. I love going on Sam's Dad's lap but he always pushes me off. My tail is always up that means I am so happy.
Hello I am Sam's brother Sasha I am 6 years old and attend the same school as Sam. I am in first grade. I like to ride my hover board with Sam we each have our own. My favorite food is pod stickers and donuts. I also do mixed martial arts (MMA) with Sam.
ReplyDeleteSasha, I am very impressed that you can ride a hover board! I tried to ride a hover board last year and almost fell on my face! It was funny, but also a little scary. Do you have any tips on keeping your balance while trying to steer the thing?
DeleteHi noah's mom this is Sam speeking me and Sasha know a lot of tricks on the hover board we also go really fast in our backyard. Somtimes we drift! Oh and a tip for steering is leaning forward on the opisite pad that you want to turn on and lean and then you shall turn hopefully. Have you rode on a hover board?
DeleteHi Sam,
DeleteThat's a good tip. If I ever get the chance to ride a hover board again, and am able to muster the courage, I will try what you suggest. I did try once last year at my friend's house, but it didn't go well at all. I almost fell flat on my face! Anyway, I think it really looks cool to ride if you know how.
Woof woof, Charlotte's Class!
ReplyDeleteAudrey here - I am Charlotte's year old puppy. I have red curly hair so Charlotte sometimes calls me Little Red or Tina Turner (I don't know who she is but Charlotte says I look just like her).
I love to chase my ball, lick the cats, bark at the chickens, and wrestle with my big brother Barclay. I am very feisty and sometimes when Charlotte gives me a bath, I run outside and roll around in the dirt - she loves it when I do that.
I can't wait to hear from other pets in the class.
Your biggest puppy fan,
Audrey Lorde
Dear Keira's class,
ReplyDeletemy name is Christine and I'm Keira's mom. I helped at the Halloween party this year and it was really nice meeting you all. You are such a fun group!!! I especially enjoyed when several of you got really creative with the chocolate donuts spiders. I'm looking forward seeing you soon again!
Best,
Christine
Hi Christine,
Deletethis is Keira I like to make the chocolate donuts spiders that was my favorite thing at the Halloween party. I liked all of the other ones to.
What is your favorite part of the Halloween party?
Dear Keira's mom it was awesome meeting you at the halloween party I hope you had a great time here in our classroom. Thank you for bringing the donuts. Those wre deliocoius. Bye now.

Hi Class! Tonight Grant came with me to vote. He even got to put the ballot in the machine and got rewarded with a voting sticker. Did anyone else go with their Mom or Dad to vote?
ReplyDeleteSincerely,
Matt (Grant's Dad)
Hi Carrie,
DeleteNoah and his sister Suzy came with me four years ago to vote, but this year we voted by absentee ballot. That means we got to vote at home and put our ballot into the mail instead of having to go to a live polling place. It is nice too because we can send our votes in early if we want to.
Hi Leslie's class my name is Samantha. I am the baby sister of Leslie and I wonder what it will be like in a classroom with other students.Leslie is so lucky to be in a classroom and learn with other kids.
ReplyDeleteSAMANTHA! what are you doing? Let's go eat instead OK? Sorry everyone time to run. Would you like to be a baby?
Kindly,
Samantha (Leslie's sister)
Hello everyone, this is Robert, Logan's father. Logan is half Chinese, and half Russian. Logan has family living in California, Oregon, Philadelphia, and Hong Kong. Logan really enjoys his fellow students, and is happy to be at his elementary school.
ReplyDeleteHello Robert my name is Sam. I never knew that Logan is half Chinese and half Russian he never told me that in school. I am surprised he didn't tell me that. That is so inredibly cool and awesome! When it is reces time we both carry eachothers lunch boxes. He is a very good friend of mine. Does he know how to speak Chinese? If so you can tell him to teach me only if he wants to.
DeleteYour friend Sam.
Hi class,
ReplyDeleteI like to vote if it's to movies or president.
I went to the election for president I got a I VOTED sticker.
If I had to vote for a movie between ANT-MAN By Marvel or Disney's BUGS LIFE I would choose .... MARVELS ANT-MAN!
So do you know what I am saying now? Or not?Okay I get if you don't get it it's hard.
Your voting friend,GRANT
Hi Grant I love that you like Marvel. I would vote for ANT MAN too. I did not get a I voted sticker. But I don't care really if I got one or not. Oh and I do not get what you are saying. Is there a new movie or something? If there is I want to go see the movie. But I think it would be to violent for Sasha [my brother]. I hope we have a playdate sometime soon. Happy Thanks Giving Grant.
DeleteHi Noah's class,
ReplyDeleteI am Noah's grandpa and my name is Victor.
When I still lived in LOS angeles, Noah and I went to the beach a lot and swam in the Ocean. Noah can surf and body surf very well.
Who in your class can surf? Did you know that the Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean in the whole world? Does anyone know what other land the Pacific Ocean is a part of?
Hello Grandpa, It's Noah here. I know where the Pacific Ocean goes, thanks to my mom and Google. It's Asia, Japan and Australia. Have you been any of those places?
DeleteYour grandson Noah
Hello Ms. Tulbure's Class,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Eva and I am Noah's grandmother.
Noah's grandpa Victor and I recently moved to Texas to retire.
We miss our Noah so very much!
Did you know that Texas is the biggest state in America?
California has the most amount of people, but Texas is the largest.
So, what does that tell you?
Hi Grandma Eva,
Delete...It tells me that California is crowded! How do you like Texas, compared to California?
Hi Class,
ReplyDeleteLiving in Texas is lots of fun. We live in the country so we see a lot of cows, horses, goats, and chickens. I have even see a few Llamas too. My favorite animal is the horse because I can ride them through the green grass and pastures. Bye for now.
Hello Noahs grandmother! That is so cool you guys can see lots of animals. You are so lucky you get to live there. I bet my favorite animal would be horse too. Does Noah ride the horses at all? Bye now.
DeleteFrom Sam.
Hello Sam,
DeleteI never rode a horse in Austin, or been to Austin even. But I have been with my other grandparents. It's really fun to horseback ride. My sister too loves to horseback ride. Have you ever been on a horse?
Kindly,
Noah
Hi, this is Noah's little sister. I am five and I like to ride horses, do you?
DeleteBye,
Suzy
I am Noah's grandpa and I just bought my first cowboy hat and cowboy boots. I guess I'm a real cowboy now!
ReplyDeleteHas anyone OF you been to Texas?
Hi Noah's class,
ReplyDeleteDid you know that a German Shepherd dog can also be white?
We have a white German Shepherd named Yogi.
Yogi misses Noah very much, since we don't live in Los Angeles anymore.
Bye for now.
Hi Ben, it's your Nana Jackie and Poppa Roger, your father's parents and your grandparents. We were wondering whether your classmates know that Amanda (in Mrs. Yollis class) is your twin sister. We also wonder whether you ever wonder who was born first. We certainly don't think that's important, but we heard a story today about an unusual event. It seems that on the night when the clock was rolled back by one hour at the stroke of 2:00 AM, a pair of twins were born. One of the pair was first at 1:58AM, and the other was second, at 1:06 AM, but because the time changed from 2:00 AM to 1:00 AM, the twin born second was actually born first. Therefore, the second born was the older. What do you think of that.
ReplyDeleteNovember 12, 2016 at 5:20 PM
Hi Ben's grandparents! Thanks for sharing that, it's something of a phenomena!
DeleteThe weather guy said it's supposed to cool off tomorrow. I sure am ready for some clouds, coolness and a bit of rain. (Sam says he provides plenty of "cool" and I think he's right.) I don't think we have even run the heater since summer ended. Pool days are done for now, yes, but this sort of climate change is certainly welcome for me. Besides, Sam can find out his winter clothes from last year don't fit him anymore.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to all bloggers for a peaceful (and cool) Thanksgiving!
Hello Ms. Tulbure,
ReplyDeleteI am Noah's grandma, Eva. I just realized that I hadn't introduced myself to you at all.
Please excuse my bad manners!
How do you do Ms. Tulbure, it certain is very nice to meet you!
You must have a lot of work editing all the posts for this class project.
Our family certainly appreciates you, and I know your wondering class does too.
Class, how many posts do you think Ms Tulbure has to check each day? How many posts do you all post? Noah's grandpa, Vic and I try to post a lot, so Noah can win the prize!
Hi Noah's class!
ReplyDeleteTonight is Tuesday evening and Noah's grandpa and I are watching the news.
There are a lot of interesting things to learn from the news. I like to learn about the current events of each day. For example, today I learned that a little boy who was suddenly orphaned, just got a brand new family. They love him and he even got a new puppy. That was such a happy story. I also like watching the weather report so that I know what to wear the next day.
Do any of you watch the news? Do you like it? What's your favorite part of the news?
Hello Noah's class,
ReplyDeleteHow are you all doing today? Eva, Noah's grandma and I went furniture shopping today. Oh boy, am I tired! We went to five stores to look for a couch. We didn't find one yet, but we are hopeful that one day we will. We actually have A houseful of furnace to buy since we just moved to Texas, as I mention my previous posts. Have any of you ever gone furniture shopping with your parents? Was it fun?
Whoof Whoof Whoof,
ReplyDeleteHi everyone in Noah's class. I'm Yogi. Remember me? I'm Noah's grandparent's dog. Do you remember what kind of a dog I am? Do you also remember what color I am?
Well, I'm writing to tell you how excited I am to get to my new home. I will have lots and lots and lots of room to run because there is lots of space in the country. Have any of you ever been to the country? What do you like best about the country?
Did you know that the air is very clean in the country? I like that best of all.
Dear class,
ReplyDeleteI am so excited about the pumkin muffins. Last year we made loafs but I guess this year we are making muffinss. I think they will turn out great. I always cook breakfast in my house unless we go to MC DONALDS or a bagel place. I always make scrambled eggs if somebody wants them. I also make waffles too. We found found this spectacullar recipe online. We have a tiny waffle maker and a big one. It apears that the big waffle maker cooks it better. I think that the big waffle maker heats up hotter and the small one only warms it up. What do you cook?
Your friend Sam.
Hi class,
ReplyDeleteI love to play with my brother Reed. We like to play Army in the car. Also we like to play on the I-Pad.
So for the final play we like to do is... PLAY CATCH outside.

Hello Grant me and Sasha [Sam's brother] like to play Botche Ball. it is this game where you throw or roll a big heavy ball torwards a smaller ball. and there are two teams. And wich ever team makes there ball get the closest to the smaller ballafter you use all the balls you see who got there type of colored ball the closest to the other smaller ball wins. It really hurts if you drop it on your toe. OUCH! Sasha wht did you do that for! Sometimes we make up our own games. What games do you play?

Hi Leslie's class again. This is Samantha, Leslie's sister. My sister told me to go eat, but I am going to tell a little bit about me instead. First, when her finger is close to my mouth I bite her, then she starts calling my mom and I start laughing. Next....
ReplyDeleteSAMANTHA! Are you typing again? This time I am going to make food that you like, so you don't go somewhere else, because I could not find you. Sorry, now I can not talk on the blog. Would you like to eat good food or bad food?

ReplyDeleteDear Skyla's class,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Olaf, I am Skyla's dog. I will tell you all about me I am 1 years old. I have an older sister named Leila and she is 2 years old. I'm a rescued dog. My family adopted me from the shelter. I was 3 months old when they brought me home. I felt so lucky knowing that I was coming home to a great family. The reason Skyla and her family named me Olaf is because I am all white with a light brown spot on my back and I have a little brown around my eyes and I'm fluffy too. Every time they buy me toys I get excited and happy! My favorite one is a dinosaur that I love to chew on. The best part of all is when I get to snuggle with them at night.

Woof woof I am Ashlynne’s dog Buddy and I will be telling you some advice about me and ashlynne but you can not tell my family I love ashlynne the most. Why I love her so much is because she feeds me and gives me water and one other things. Also why I love her she is who she is. If you wanted to know what color and breed I am I am a mixed mutt and I am a gold color Marley saw him yesterday.
ReplyDeleteHi I am Owlfonzo. I am Justin’s pet dog. We're going to do some math. 1 bacon plus two bacon = all the bacon for me. My food minus no more food = I’m sad. Oh so you want to know about me. Well, when Justin's not looking at his delicious tacos I try to get a bite yum yum. I bark at Estbon because he's a lizard but I don’t think he cares. Let’s go back to when I was just getting adopted. I was so happy in my crate I felt like I was the one. So when Justin's mom Terri picked Justin up from Boys and Girls club I came and I surprised Justin. And I now they love me.

Ha! Reading this post from Owlfonzo reminded me of our own dog Remy. Remy is a 25 pound miniature poodle. If Noah, or his sister Suzy, are walking around with food in their hand, Remy has been known to snatch the food right out of their hands. How rude! He sometimes will get caught standing up on his hind legs to steal food from the kid sized table in our kitchen. He looks like a circus performer when he does it, so it always makes us laugh, but we really don't like him to steal our food! Once he stole a whole bagel with cream cheese!

Hi Zachary,
DeleteNoah has a poodle too! His name is Remy and he's not very fancy, but he's very smart! Noah's dad doesn't let the dog sleep in the bed. So Remy waits in the hall listening, until Noah's dad is sleeping and then he sneaks into the bed! Isn't that funny? If Noah's dad wakes up while Remy is trying to sneak, Remy just turns around and goes back into the hallway to wait a little longer. So smart!

Hi we are Zachary's dogs I am Lucy the excited and ruff dog. I ate all of Zachary's fish and his grandfather had to flush them down the drain and I almost bit his finger off.

Lucy gets me dirty I get freaked out. And last but not least I am Charlie the nice dog but I am the hyper dog.
seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee youuuuuuuuuuuuuu nexttttttt timeeeee
love the dogs.
Hi Lucy, Ziggy, and Charlie,
DeleteI have one dog that is named scurffy and one tie he got in big trouble. He ran out on to the street and almost got killed, luckily though He was safe and then my mom told that he wanted to play with with me. He got in big trouble when he got home from walking him. My parents told him to stay near my parents' bed room an he didn't stay so they got more mad. I bet he felt sad. Has your dogs got in any trouble?

Skyler's mom here. Skyler and I arrived safely to Hong Kong. Weather here is humid and rainy. Hong Kong is a very modern urban city. Skyler saw a lot of different modes of transportation yesterday, including double decker buses, express trains and shuttles. He will get a chance to experience ferries and subway today. And he saw all different kinds of cars/vans that are customized to Hong Kong's narrow streets. Will share more as we continue on our adventure. What are your favorite type of transportation?
ReplyDeleteHI class,
ReplyDeleteI am in Hong Kong and the cars are so different and it looks like real vans on the street and so I will take some picture on the street and also the licenses plate is so different from California. It looks like the UK ones. It is urban living which I don't like it but I can deal with at least with one patch of grass. The ride to LAX was bad, there was so much traffic. We got through eventually and We got through check-in and then to security check and my mom had something wrong so I waited. Then, we ate breakfast and waited at our gate. We got on our plane and I took a nap. It was 16 hours so It we waited and waited. They did serve us lunch and dinner. When we arrived we looked for our pick up. We ate dinner, but I wasn't feeling well because I was exhausted and then went we went home I went to sleep stat. Who went to Hong Kong before?
Kindly,
Skyler
Hi Skyler,
DeleteI'm glad you made it to Hong Kong safely. Sounds like a very long travel day! I'd love to see Hong Kong sometime but 16 hours on a plane sounds like a very long time! What did you do to pass the time on the plane?

It is raining here in Hong Kong. It is great to experience the tropical weather! All the trees and plants here are green! Even though the city has a lot of rain, it still encourage conserving water, just like California. Water is the most precious natural resources that we have on planet earth! What other precious natural resources do we have?
ReplyDeleteHi Class,
ReplyDeleteWeather is cooling off here in Hong Kong. Tomorrow, we are heading to Osaka, Japan. Skyler and I have never been to Osaka. We are very excited to experience the culture. It is going to be cold in Osaka. We will need to bring extra jackets. Have you been to other places where you have to wear extra clothing or wear something completely different?
Hi Susan,
DeleteSounds like you are having an awesome adventure! We just came back from a ski/snowboard trip in Mammoth, and let me tell you it was freezing there! Literally! We even got a snow shower right before Thanksgiving. I don't think I've ever experienced a white Thanksgiving before?
I wonder if anyone else traveled to snowy places this Thanksgiving?

Hi class,
ReplyDeleteFor Thanks Giving I went to a friend's house. First we had a Thanks Giving lunch and instead of turkey we had leg of lamb and ham. And for Thanks Giving dinner we had turkey and stuffings with it. I had more fun at the Thanks Giving dinner than at the Thanks Giving lunch. How was your Thanks Giving?
you friend Sam
Hi Sam,
DeleteI am so happy to see you post about Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is one of the most important holidays in November and it surprised me there wasn't a blog post on it. We went to Mammoth with three other families to go skiing, snowboarding and to celebrate Thanksgiving together. We were thankful to have our friends around us and to celebrate in such a beautiful place. We even got to see snow on Thanksgiving, which was a first for all of us!
We had a great time, but it was strange to have Thanksgiving dinner in a restaurant. I didn't even eat turkey at all, but instead had the shrimp and grits option! I had never had grits before, they are creamy and yummy and made of corn. I like trying new foods. Also, instead of pumpkin pie, we had sweet potato pie, which Noah and I thought tasted just like pumpkin pie! What are some new foods you have tried and liked?
Best,
Elita

Your friend Sasha.
Dear class,
ReplyDeleteMy brother has an electric blanket. Since it is so cold these nights he uses it so much that I think it might over heat and catch on fire! He likes it on super high. I wish I had the same one. GOOD NEWS he shares it with me. I am so lucky he shares it with me other wise I would be FREEZING. BRRRR BRRRR BRRRR
Hi Sam,
DeleteI wish I had a electric blanket! I am so cold when I have my covers on! I am glad Sasha shares it with you.If my brother did not share it I would be freezing like you.Where did you get the blanket?
Kindly,Grant
Hi Sam!
DeleteAn electric blanket sounds good right now because it gets cold in Texas at night. I'll have to ask for one for Christmas. What color is yours? Do you know what color they come in? I would like a blue one, if they come in blue, of course.
Hi Noah's Class,
DeleteWhoof whoof, this is Yogi the dog here. Who didn't have any turkey this Thanksgiving? Well, I didn't have any turkey for Thanksgiving, and I'm not too happy about it either. Can you imagine my whole family went to restaurants this year? Unacceptable! I missed my turkey dinner! Whoof
Hi Victor,
DeleteLike you I want a electric blanket + Sam is my friend.
I am also going to Arizona over winter break I will bring a puffy jacket,a set of gloves and finally a pair of cabin socks! I like blue also.Noah is also my best friend. Me and Noah have the best times.Also we played baseball together we also love the Dodgers.

Dear class,
ReplyDeletei can not wait for the holidays! I celebrate Christmas and the holidays are my favorite time of year. At the begging of December my elf Johnny comes to watch us and during the night he goes to tell Santa. But when we wake up he goes in a different spot.
do you have any holiday traditions?
your friend, Taylor
Japan is a leading country where they do everything to protect their natural environment. Therefore, they recycle everything that they use. Including cans, paper goods and plastics. There are NO trash cans on the streets. Citizens are asked to bring their trash home to discard instead! Bringing awareness to minimize trash to the highest level. The streets are sparkling clean! Just like us, everyone bring their own recycle bags to carry things they bought at the store. Can you think of other ways to recycle and keep our environment green?
ReplyDeleteHello Noah's Class,
ReplyDeleteThis is Eva, Noah's Grandma. Noah's Grandpa and I did not go skiing with our family over Thanksgiving because we moved to Texas six months ago. Do you remember that I wrote you that before? So, Thanksgiving was not the same this year, at all! We miss our family so very much. And we also miss the delicious Thanksgiving dinner we usually have. I just love the way my daughter Elita makes the turkey and all the other dishes. Which Thanksgiving dish do you like the best? And, did you know that my daughter Elita, is Noah's mother? Ok kids, it was nice touching base with y'all.
(That's Texas talk, y'all)
Hi Class,
ReplyDeleteNoah's grandpa here. How are you all doing after your Thanksgiving holiday?
I bet you all missed school, didn't you?
What I thought was unusual for us, is that we ate in a restaurant for Thanksgiving dinner. Maybe next year we can all be together again with our family, because we miss them so much! And Elita's diner is really good, too. Am I making you hungry by talking about delicious food?
Hi Class,
ReplyDeleteIt was very nice meeting all of you at the Halloween party in the class, I had a great time with all of you. I found some of you to be funny, some were very friendly, some of you were very smart and some very creative. It was a pleasure watching you all and getting to know you. I hope I get to see you again very soon.
Your new friend, Sharon
Hello Class,
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for the holidays this year, I love this time of year. We do not celebrate Christmas but I do love the decorations everywhere, the holiday songs that are playing on the radio and over all the holiday spirit. This year I decided that we will decorate our house so I went and bought lots of Hanukkah decorations and we will be putting them up in the next week, maybe I can make some latkes for the class this year? I will have to ask Ms.Tulbure if that's ok.
I hope to see you all soon, what are your plans for the holidays?
Kindly,
Sharon

Where are you going for the holidays?
Your friend, Leann

Hi class its Justin.
ReplyDeleteI’m going to tell you what I will be doing over winter break..
I'm going to New York soon I'm going to see the Statue of Liberty. Have you ever been to Statue of Liberty? Im also going to the White House. That’s where the president lives. Did you know that President George Washington did not live in the White House because it was not built yet? Have you ever been to New York?
I will see you soon.

Dear class,
This is Logan. I am taking trumpet lessons. You might be thinking why a trumpet? Well
here is why. My sister plays trumpet and she is in the school band. Alos when I go to her
grade I want to be in the school band. So I figure if I start now I will be the best when I get
to my sister’s grade. I also want to play the trumpet because when my sister plays it it
sounds beautiful. But when I play it is not the best. The only pieces I can decently play are
r,d and f.
So, do you play an instrument? If so,what instrument do you play.
Sincerely,
Logan.
