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 and pets, 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!)

Hi. This is Dylan's mom Meredith. I am very excited for Blogging month. Dylan wants to invite his brothers, cousins, aunts and uncles to blog this month. When his older brother was in third grade, he won a free meal at a restaurant because he had the most blog posts for the entire month in his class. We are going to try to exceed the number of posts we did back then. Wish us luck! This is a great project.
ReplyDeleteJake,
DeleteWhat restaurant did you get to go to for your free meal? I often find that free food taste just a little but better than food you have to pay for. And don't even get me started on free candy.
Hi my name is Dylan.I think blogging is fun and not because there is a competition but there is many more reasons for example it is fun to have a conversation with people around the whole world.Second reason is you could learn about stuff they say.Its also fun because there many people that could say nice things and respond to you.Bloggers most times respond to people and have a long conversation and it could go on and on it could take forever anyone.I think that this is why blogging is fun.
ReplyDeleteHi Dylan , this is Belana . I think blogging is fun too because it's a great way to start a conversation with a friend or a classmate . It's also very fun because you can learn a lot about other people . Do you think it's fun ?
DeleteFrom Belana
Hi Dylan,
DeleteI think your right. Like you said "not because their is a competition ". It's also fun because you can talk about yourself , learn about other people and find topics that you both like. There are some competitions tough like the Family Blogging Month, but still that doesn't mean you should do it only to win but, to have fun while your doing it! Do you you agree with me ? Sorry I don't have a long or very interesting comment, but I want to go write some other comments . BBBBBBBYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEE!
From Belana
Hi Dylan. This is Meredith. You are right. Blogging is fun. There are all kinds of blogs. I think there are blogs about almost every subject out there. I like this class blog because you can read what your class mates are writing. What kind of blog interests you?
ReplyDeleteHi this is Tyler again! I am going fishing with my Dad and brother today at Fisherman’s village. We are going to catch a ton of fish. Last time we caught over 35 fish. We asked the guys that work at the dock to skin and clean the fish. We brought them home and ate them. This type of fish is called a Bonito. It is in the tuna family of fish. It was really good! I will send another post later. I hope I catch a lot of fish today.
ReplyDeleteSincerely,
Tyler
Hi Tyler. This is Dylan's mom Meredith. How do you get the fish home and once they are home, how do you cook them? Do you eat all 35 at once or can you freeze them? Is it hard to catch fish? Dylan and I tried once but the fish seemed really smart and kept eating the sausage bait and swimming away. Has that ever happened to you?
DeleteHi Tyler. This is Dylan. I have been fishing a few times but never at Fisherman's Village. Where is it located? Have you ever skinned and cleaned the fish by yourself or do you always have the guys at the dock do it? What does a Bonito fish taste like? I can't wait to see a picture of the fish you caught.
DeleteHi Meredith-
DeleteI use lures because they do not bite your bait because it is plastic.I did not eat the mullet because it tastes like where they live.I would love to show a picture but I can not because I will get in trouble.And yes I do let the dock guy skin it.We put the fish in a cooler because if we put it somewhere that is hot it won't taste good.We fry it on the stove for 2 minutes on each side.It kind of tastes like chicken. Yes, that happened to me once because you probably had a big fish. Big fish have bigger brains.It is hard because small fish are faster than big fish because small fish weigh less than big fish.
Sincerely,
Tyler
Hi Tyler. I didn't realize that big fish had bigger brains. About what size are the Bonito fish? The ones I was trying to catch were probably like a foot long. I wonder if that is considered big.
DeleteI eat fish a lot for dinner. I usually bake it in the oven with lemon and garlic.
What is your favorite fish to eat?
Hi Tyler , This is Belana , I think fishing sounds loads of fun . I went fishing before with my grandpa when I was little . We caught a huge fish back then . It weighed as heavy as a small car . I forgot what kind of fish it was , but I remember that it was kind of a grayish color . How big was the fish you caught ? was it heavy , how heavy was it ?
DeleteSincerely ,
Belana
Hello
ReplyDeleteThis is Cyrus's mom Yasaman. I think blogging is a great hobbies. The other way it help you to become a better writer, better thinker and live more intentional life. Once you start writing about your life and thoughts that shape it, you'll begin thinking more intentionally about who you are, who you are becoming, and whether you like what you see or not.
Cyrus wants to invite his father, brother, cousin and his dog.
Hi this is Dylan.Tyler I have fished one time it was at a camp called Canyon Creek. I captured a lot of fish they were catfish in the lake it was very fun.What kind of fish did you catch.I hope you have fun if you go fishing again.
ReplyDeleteTo Dylan. Hi Dylan! I caught 65 fish. Most of them were mullet and I caught 5 bonita fish. This fishis apart of the tuna family.What kind of fish did you catch when you went fishing?
DeleteHi Tyler. I caught 3 fish in 10 minutes that was my best ever that is a lot for me is that a lot of fish for you? What is the most fish you have ever caught?
DeleteHi Dylan and Tyler. When I go fishing I can't seem to catch any fish. When I normally go fishing i get the bait and its corn then I put it in the water then I wait and wait and wait. Can you give me any tips?
DeleteHi Class,
DeleteThis is Brooke. I have never been fishing but I would like to go and try it sometime. Does anyone know a good fishing spot for a first time fisher-woman? I can't believe Tyler caught 65 fish. Where in the world do you put all of those fish when you drove home? Did you take any pictures of any of the fish that you caught? What is your favorite type of fish that you caught? Do you like to eat fish?
Your friend, Brookie
Hi, this is Alex. I think blogging is fun, because you can share things about yourself and learn about your friends from class. I can read my friend's posts and leave comments.
ReplyDeleteIt is a good writing practice as well.
Hi Alex. This is Dylan's mom Meredith. How do you like blogging so far? When my older son was in third grade, I got to blog a lot for his class. He had Mrs. Yolllis. All together we blogged 156 comments in the month of November. I am not sure how we got so many posts but I think we all liked doing it so much, including Dylan!
DeleteWhat is your favorite part of blogging?
Hi-
ReplyDeleteMy name is Dax and I am Tyler’s brother. I have been taking Robotics class for the past 8 weeks and I love it. For our final project we made a marble machine. I brought it home to my Mom and she thought it was so cool.
Have any of you taken Robotics class before?
Sincerely,
Dax
Hi Dax. I have never taken robotics class before. What does the Marble Machine do? Did it take all 8 weeks to make it? Where do you take the class- at your school or somewhere else?
DeleteWoof,woof,woof!! My name is Latigo. I love licking my family and my friends. One day I would like to meet all of the kids in Ms. Tulbure’s class. What do you like about your pets?

Hi Latigo and Lucky! My name is Malibu and I am Brooke's new cat. I am so lucky because I am the first cat Brooke has ever owned. She named me Malibu because she found me at a Malibu Rescue. Brooke's favorite thing to do is to pick me up. I think bringing us to class would be a fantastic idea but something tells me that Mrs. Brazel would not go for it. Perhaps Ms. Tulbure can have all of her students take a picture with their pet and bring it to show and tell.
DeleteHi i'm Holiday!i'm Dolly's dog I loooooovvvvvvvvveeeeeeee tummy rubs from her I sleep on her bed and i'm always on the sofa I stretch on the sofa and somehow i'm just taking it all up right now i'm writing this on the sofa " MOOOOOMMM HOLIDAYS ON THE SOFA"ZzzzzzzZZZZZZzzzZZZZzzZZzzzZZ oh god sorry I get so sleepy on the sofa do you have a dog thats a pain but cutest thing ever!can I play with them sincerely Holiday Dolly's dog
DeleteHi Holiday,
DeleteYou have a super cool name for a dog. Who named you and what do you look like? I was trying to picture you stretching out on the bed or sofa but then I realized that I didn't know if you were a tiny dog or a giant dog. I am a cat and I can ensure you that I am not a pain but I am the cutest thing. Does anyone else have a pet that loves to go on furniture?
Meow,
Malibu
Dear Holiday,
DeleteI agree, you are always sleeping on the couch or, the bed. I ALWAYS either fall off the bed or I get to curl up into a tiny ball and fit IF I'm lucky.
We only have three chairs in our living room (not including the sofa) and Holiday takes ALL of the sofa up and I'm not joking. As I have told you, Holiday is a pain in the BOOTY to get off the furniture.
Sencierly,Charlie
Thanks, for replying!!! it's making me cry reading about these....These pieces of art! I'm going to tell Dolly right after I'm done replying.And Malibu I'm a great Dane and great Dane's are [If don't know] HUGE! but I'm small for a Great Dane could you imagine what Dolly and Charlie had to deal with if I was a regular sized Great Dane! anyway thanks and BBBBYYYYEEEEE!!!!!!

Hi Holiday!
DeleteMy name is Emily and I am the twin sister of Brooke. Dolly and Charlie know me. I have three Great Danes that live on my street. One of them is Black and White and looks like a giant Horse Cow. Whenever I see it, I want to either run away or ride it. I can't decide. Has anyone ever tried to ride you. Charlie and Dolly are pretty tall so I am not sure if it would work.

Hi I am Dylan. I am going to invite my brothers and mom and dad and cousins and grandma and grandpa and more people to blog. I am really excited for the blogging contested I am going to invite lots of people including my family's pet I am really excited for our blogging.
ReplyDeleteHello Again Third Graders! My name is Elbert and I am Brooke's Grandfather. I am excited for you that you get to do Family Blogging. The last time I wrote to your class, I was in Germany but now I am back home in Las Vegas. Good Luck with your posts. See you soon 12 days Brooke. :) Grandpa E.
ReplyDeleteHi Elbert,
DeleteThis is John (Brooke's dad). We are very excited to come visit you in Las Vegas during Thanksgiving week. One thing the class might not know about Brooke's grandfather is that he is a retired Los Angeles County firefighter and also a former United States Marine, which makes him a veteran. This Saturday, November 11, is Veterans Day. Do any other students have veterans or active-duty military in their family?
Sincerely,
John
Hello John and Class,
DeleteToday, November 10th is Marine Corps Birthday. November 10, 2017 marks 242 years of the United States Marine Corp. There are many celebrations honoring Marines all over the world today. The day is celebrated with a large, traditional ball, which is a dance, and cake-cutting ceremony. One interesting fact, although the Marines are 242 years old, they did not accept the recruits of African Americans until 1947. Today, approximately 20% of the Marines are African American.
Sincerely,
Elbert

Hello Ms. Tulbure's 3rd Grade class! My name is Savannah and I am Matthew's sister! I love to read books. I have read all 7 books in the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. Matthew has told me that his classroom is filled with Harry Potter posters made by Ms. Tulbure! Has anyone else read, seen the movies, or heard about Harry Potter? I am also currently reading the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan, and am on the 5th and final book. Has anyone read, seen the movies, or heard about Percy Jackson?
ReplyDeleteHi, my name is Cameron. I like skiing. Do you like snowboarding or skiing?
ReplyDeleteI skied at two places, Big Bear and Mammoth. Have you ever gone to a place with snow? I like skiing because when you come down the hill you can feel wind in your face. It is fun to ski.
Sincerely,
Cameron
Hi Cameron. This is Meredith Dylan's mom. You are very lucky that you know how to ski. Dylan ski's also. He learned when he was 5. I never learned to ski and tried when I was 25 but it was so hard to learn that I never was able to make it down the hill. We will go to Mammoth again this winter and maybe I will try to ski again.
DeleteHave you ever snowboarded? Which is harder- skiing or snowboarding?
This is Cameron. I have never snowboarded before. I think snowboarding is harder than skiing.I want to try snowboarding though.When I try it I will tell you.
DeleteThis is Nancy, Cameron's mom. Skiing has become our winter sport. My husband grew up skiing and was very insistent that we be a skiing family. Cameron and his younger brother Jack really took to skiing. They learned very quickly and really enjoy it. I, on the other hand, skied just a few times when I was growing up and never got to be really good at it. I had to take some lessons the last couple winters so that I could get down the slopes. I am still the slowest skier in the family.
DeleteI love to go skiing with my family. It is always so beautiful to see snow and breathe some fresh air. We always have a great time skiing. Is anyone going skiing over Thanksgiving break?
Sincerely,
Nancy
Dear Nancy,
DeleteI never grew up skiing but I tried as an adult and it was not fun. I really wish I learned as a kid. We are going skiing over winter break.
It sounds like your kids are faster at skiing than you are! At least you can get on skis which is a lot more than I can do!
When are you going skiing next?
Dear Meredith,
DeleteWe are going skiing over winter break as well. We are skiing at Mammoth.Have you been to Mammoth?
I hope there will be a lot of snow. My favorite slopes are the black diamond ones. It is my favorite because it is steep and it usually leads to more cool slopes! What is your favorite slope?
Sincerely,
Cameron
Hi, my name is Matthew and I am in Ms. Tulbure's 3rd grade class. I am excited for family blogging month. I will ask my cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles to blog. Blogging is fun because my family can be involved in what we are learning at school. I have family who live in Georgia, Utah and Colorado. Do you have any family who live in another state?
ReplyDeleteHi Matthew. This is Meredith Dylan's mom. I was born in California but Dylan's dad was born in New Jersey so we have a lot of family that lives there. Dylan has been to New Jersey a few times and sometimes when we go there, we drive into New York also. Have you ever been to New Jersey before? What state were you born in?
DeleteDear Meredith,
DeleteThank you for responding to my comment. I was born in California and so was the rest of my family except for my mom, she was born in Georgia.
I have never been to New Jersey or New York but I would like to go there someday. Which one do you think is more fun to visit? In New York, I would like to take a boat to see the Statue of Liberty and walk around.
When I go to Georgia I like to visit my uncle's farm and ride four wheelers and golf carts. Sometimes my cousins from Utah and Colorado come to the farm with us and we all have a great time.

Hi Meredith-
DeleteI do get to take a nap I school. I love taking naps. It is very hard for my teacher to wake me up so she just lets me sleep until I wake up. Most of the time, when I wake up from my nap all of my friends are playing around me. Ava and Stella don't get to take a nap in school. I am going to school with Ava and Stella soon. I want to go to Kindergarten, but I have to go to Journey's.

Hi Meredith-

ReplyDeleteHi Stella. What do you like about First Grade? Do you get to blog in Mrs. Shipow's class?

Hi Meredith-
DeleteI like my teacher, she is very nice. I also like PDR. I don't get to blog in Mrs. Shipow's class or get an Acer. I am looking forward to blogging and using an Acer in 3rd grade. And I am looking forward to having Ms. Tulbure as my teacher.
From,
Stella
Hi Stella.
DeleteWhat is PDR and what do you do in it? Jake had Mrs. Shipow and he loved that class. One thing he liked about the class was the way Mrs. Shipow would decorate it to go with the unit they were working on. For example, she would change the curtains in the class to have panda bears if they were studying Asia. She would also paint her nails to match the unit they were studying.
What do you like about Mrs. Shipow's class?

ReplyDeleteHi to all the kids in Ms. Tulbere's class. I am enjoying to read all your thoughts and things you did. When my daughter was in 3rd grade, we lived in Brazil, and her class had a blog too. I love traveling around the world and meeting new kids. It is always interesting to see how kids love the same games and activities. For me it feels that our world is like a one huge country.
Enjoy your childhood.
Hi Everyone-
ReplyDeleteMy Grandma and Grandpa are visiting from Arizona this weekend. They are my Dad’s parents, Howard and Lisa. I am really excited for them to watch me play soccer on Saturday. My game is at 9 in the morning. It is way too early but I am going to score goals for them.

Hi Brook's mom .I'm Cyrus. Saro likes BBQ steak .
ReplyDeleteI like well-down steak.I get my steak from Costco.It is New York steak.My favorite sauce is A1.
What kind of steak do you like?What kind of sauce do you like?
Sincerely
Hello Cyrus,
DeleteAt least one Sunday a month, we will BBQ steak in our backyard. Brooke's dad is in charge of the steak and myself, Brooke and her sisters are in charge of the side items. We usually have baked potatoes, corn on the cob and baked beans. Brooke often requests that I make devil eggs as well. It is a very big meal. We usually use Tri-Tip or Filet Mignon steak. When we have this meal, Brooke's dad makes a sauce using Teriyaki sauce, A1 and Italian salad dressing. Everyone loves the sauce. We have never bought steak at Costco before, so thanks for the suggestion. Brooke and her sisters love to go to Costco for the food samples. Have you ever tried the food samples? If so, can you remember any favorites?
Hope to hear from you soon,
Michelle
Hi Ms. Tulbure's class. This is Nicole, Vanderlei's mom. I also have a daughter Cattleya who is in Mrs. Shipow's class. People often ask where the names Vanderlei Jedi and Cattleya Jade come from and mean. Well here are the answers... Vanderlei is a Brazilian name, and there is a Jiu Jitsu fighter Vanderlei Silva that he is named after. Jedi is from Star Wars and they are the holy peace keepers of the Universe. Cattleya is a beautiful fragrant orchid originating from Costa Rica. Jade is a gem which is said to bless whatever it touches.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am Nicole Mia. My parents just liked those names!
Hello Nicole and Vanderlei,
DeleteVanderlei is such a cool name and I am so excited to know that you were named after the fighter. Brooke's dad, John is a big UFC fan and have watched many fights. We got to see Vanderlei fight in person once. Do you take any Jiu Jitsu classes? I am sure if you do the teachers, love your name as well. I hope you share your middle name often. Your parents are super cool for giving you an awesome name like Jedi. Are you a big Star Wars fan?
Have a great day,

Hello Ms. Tulbure's Class,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Emily and I am the twin sister of Brooke. I have watched my sister, Brooke, play softball for over 3 years. In the last two years, I have watched her play and practice, and she has inspired me to want to play softball too. My mom has signed me up for a clinic and I am looking forward to it. It will help me decide if I would like to try-out for a team. How you ever played softball? If so, what are some tips you can share with me.
Thank you,
Emily
Hi Emily,
DeleteThis is your sister Brooke. I hope you had a good time at the clinic. Did you learn anything new? One tip that I think you should focus on is when you are hitting to watch the ball all the way to your bat. I have thought about you playing softball a lot and I have decided that I would love it if you were on my team. I think a good team name would be Cranky Crushers. Can anyone else think of any cool team names that they would like to share?
Sincerely,
Brooke
Hello Ms. Tulbure and class,
ReplyDeleteThis is Brooke's grandmother, many of you probably remember me as I volunteer for your class in the library, art room and for special events such as the Halloween Party. This month is November and we celebrate Thanksgiving with a feast. Did you know that the first Thanksgiving holiday was celebrated in the year 1621 when the Plymouth colonists and the Wampanoag Indians gathered for a harvest feast? For two hundred years, Thanksgiving was celebrated by states and colonies; however, in 1863, President Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving a national holiday. Most people in America serve turkey at their Thanksgiving day feasts but I have several friends from different cultures that serve different foods. What kind of foods are served at your Thanksgiving day feasts? I hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!
Grandma Doreene
Hello Grandma Doreene,
DeleteThis your daughter, Michelle. We will be serving turkey, mash potatoes, stuffing, green bean casserole, and a whole lot more. As you know, November is a special month in our family, as we take this time to really be thankful for everything that we have. In the past, we have even tried to give 'A Thanks A Day.' We would take cookies to our local fire department, write a special note of thanks and leave it in our mailbox for our postal worker, send personal letters of thanks to family members and the military. My daughter, Kate, even wrote a letter of thanks to the President of the United States and received a response.
I encourage you all to write a 'Note of Thanks' this month. Who would you write a special note of thanks to and why?
Thankful,
Michelle (Brooke's Mom)
Hi Class,
ReplyDeleteThis is Brooke! I just got back from Six Flags Magic Mountain. My favorite ride was the new revolution. I liked that it went up side down in a loop. I got to ride in the very front and at night. My second favorite ride was Gold Rush. Gold Rush is my mom's favorite ride when she was a little girl and it was my second favorite. Have you ever been to Six Flags? If so, what was your favorite ride?

Hello Ms. Tulbure's Class,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Kate and I am Brooke's older sister. I am in fifth grade and I had Ms. Yollis as a teacher, so I am very familiar with the class blog. When I did class blogging I thought it was interesting. It was hard to remember to keep logging on but when people responded on my comments, I thought it was cool. How do you like blogging so far?
Fifth Grade Student,
Kate
Hi Kate , I'm Belana Brooke's classmate .
DeleteIs 5th grade fun ? Because I can't wait till I'm in 5th grade , because It's the last year in elementary school ! I hope it's fun because I have only 2 years until I'm in 5th grade . Are you exited to go to a grade that yo think will be fun ?
Sincerely ,
Belana
Hi Belena,
DeleteYes I think fifth grade is fun. It is one of the best years at school because you get to take a lot of field trips and you can make special memories with all of your friends. Also in fifth grade, you are the oldest on the playground and you get to do whatever you want. You say that you can't wait until fifth grade but take your time because it goes by too fast. I am super excited to go to Middle School because you get more freedom to do things yourself. Do you like third grade, if so why?
Hi Ms. Tulbure's Class,
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for Thanksgiving break. I can't wait to do all the fun things like decorating a turkey and sharing what I am thankful for this holiday. I am looking forward to spending time with my family and friends over the holiday. I am especially excited for Black Friday because I get to go shopping all day long to any store I want. I am really, really excited to get our Christmas Tree and decorate it with my family.

DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI am Ava's little sister, Stella, and I am 7. When I'm in 3rd grade I'm wishing to have Ms. Tulbure. Mrs. Shipow and Ms. Tulbure use to teach 5th grade together. And also I have another sister named Nora. For second grade I want Ms. Fitzner as my teacher because it was Ava's second grade teacher and she is very nice.
From,
Stella
Hi, I'm Nora, Ava's baby sister. I am 4. My mom is the best mom. I love my school and I love Chaparral. I sleep in my bed.
ReplyDeleteLove, Nora
Dear Nora,
DeleteIt makes me happy that you love Chaparral. When do you get to go to Chaparral for school? Will you go to Journeys or to kindergarten? Which teacher do you want to have your first year at Chaparral?
What do you plan on doing for your Thanksgiving break?
From, Meredith
Hi Nora!!It's Isla! Are you excited for Thanksgiving?! I know I am. I like to sleep in my bed too.Your mom is then best mom besides my mom.Are you going to eat a big turkey? I talked to Ava and she is pretty excited about Thanksgiving.What do you like to do on Thanksgiving?
DeleteHi Ms. Tulbure's Class-
ReplyDeleteThis is Desiree, Ava's mom. I am really looking forward to Thanksgiving break. I can't wait to spend time with my family and get ready for the holiday with the girls. We all love cooking Thanksgiving together. I think the girls love making dessert the most, but I love making all the sides. My favorite part about the holidays is that we don't have to be on a schedule and we can do fun family activities together.
Best,
Desiree
Dear Desiree,
DeleteYou are an amazing cook. What do you cook for Thanksgiving? I bet one of the things you make are your world famous potatoes with garlic.
What types of desserts do you make for Thanksgiving? Is it the traditional pumpkin pie or something else? What does Ava like to cook?

I am Alex's snake my name is Skally. My cage has lots of grass. The cage also has a big log. My favorite food is eggs. I am a African egg eating snake. I eat once a month. Do you have a pet snake?
ReplyDeleteHave a great day
Skally
Hi Skally and Alex,
DeleteThis is Brooke. I do not have a pet snake but I think it is really cool that Alex let's you live in his house. At my house, we have plenty of snakes. One night, my mom went to cut my sister's nails on the front porch. My sister would not sit down, and mommy asked, "why aren't you sitting down?" My sister pointed to a long RATTLE snake that was slithering across our porch. Mom and my sister ran inside and we called the fire department. They came and arrested the snake for going on private property. Does anyone else in class have any snake stories?
Your friend,
Brooke
Oh hi Alex I had two snakes before.One was a milk snake we named him candy cane but sadly he escaped.The milk snake was like 7 inches long.I had a other snake he drowned sadly.Bye I hope I get another snake.

heatlight! I live in the biggest tank you can get!(a 40 gallon tank.) my tank floor is all sand,on the right side of my tank there is a big tree so I can get close to my heat lamp, I like it when my tank is about 110 degrees,My sleeping place is under my log. I wake up early and wait for feeding time! "YO REX TIME FOR BED!" Well that's my call. BYYYEEE!
Hi Caspian , I'm Belana .
DeleteHow early does your bearded dragon wake up to wait to get fed ? What time do you feed him ? What color is his skin ? How big is he ? I have a lot of questions to ask you ,but I have to go now BYE !

Hi Caspian , this is Belana I'm back !
DeleteI have tons more questions to ask you .
Whats your bearded dragons favorite food ?
Is he tall or short ? Is he fat or skinny ?
Does he like to sleep , or is he more active ?
Belana
Dear Caspian,
DeleteI have no pets. How many pets do you have and what other types do you have besides the Bearded Dragon?
What time does Rex go to bed at? Is his tank in your room?
I had two goldfish but they both died. Have you ever had a goldfish?
We won the goldfish from playing a game at a carnival. Sadly, they died. I won them from a game where you have to get the ball into a cup.

Dear Caspian , This is Belana ,
DeleteI used to have a Betta Fish , it was blue so I named him Bluie . But sadly two months later it died ,

Hi my name is Cameron. I like dogs. I have a dog named Gordie. He is a fluffy,grey and white,playful dog. He weighs 11 pounds and he is 11 years old too! But in dog years he is 77! Do you why? Because each real year is 7 years for dogs!
ReplyDeleteGordie is a naughty dog because he chews up my legos,crayons,and paper! Do you have any dogs?
Sincerely,
Cameron
Hi Cameron!
DeleteYour Mom was telling me about Gordie! We should have a play date with Gordie and our dog Latigo. The correct pronunciation is “Lad-i-go” . We named her after Latigo canyon in Malibu as Tyler’s Dad is a cyclist and that is his favorite place to ride! Latigo is an English Cream Golden Retriever. Her color is white like snow! She is 10 months old, so almost 6 years old in dog years! That would mean she could go to first grade! Gordie is too old for school. He would be a good Grandpa! Let’s take Gordie and Latigo to the park. It would be so much fun! You can play with Tyler. Jack can play with Dax and I can hang out with your Mom! What do you think?
Sincerely.
Kelli (Tyler’s Mom)
Dear Kelli,
DeleteThat sounds like fun. However, Gordie is not the friendliest dog because he attempts to bite other dogs. Maybe the dogs should meet first, and if Gordie is okay we can have the play date. What do you think?
Sincerely,
Cameron
Hi my name is Shea . I am new to this class. I came from Orange County . My favorite subject in school is science and mixing potions together . I love baking and putting ingredients together . I have one dog named Gus. Bye bye

My sister is 4 years old and her name is Aliana .
Do you have any siblings ?
From , Belana
Hi Shea,
DeleteWelcome to our school. I hope you like it so far. Brooke said "Shea is a really nice person and great at making friends." Do you think Orange County is the same or different from our neighborhood? I have never lived in Orange County but I know they have really great sports teams there. What has been your favorite potion that you have mixed together?
Welcome,
Michelle
Hi Shea. How do you like school so far? I suspect that you moved from Orange County closer to our school. What are the schools like there? Was your class the same size as the one you are in now? Did you learn the same subjects?
DeleteAre you able to walk to school now that you moved? I hope you are enjoying your new third grade class.

Guten Morgen.
ReplyDeleteHello Brooke's class, it is Isolde.
As Brooke can tell you, I live in Germany in a city called Hamm. It is an old city, founded in the year 1226. Another old city, not too far from Hamm, I like to visit is Bremen. Bremen is even older than Hamm. It was founded in the 8th Century. You might have heard of Bremen if you have read the story: the Town Musicians of Bremen. There is a statue in that town of the Bremen Town Musicians. I gave Brooke a mini statue which she can share with the class. Has anyone in the class been to Germany? Has anyone read the story the Bremen Town Musicians? Right now, it is almost 1:30 a.m. on Friday Morning, and you all should be snug in your beds on this school night. Germany is 9 hours ahead of you.
Sleep Well,
Isolde
Hi Isolde. What does Guten Morgen mean? How do you know Brooke? Did you used to live in the United States? Have you ever visited here before?
DeleteMy son is in class with Brooke. He has a twin brother but his brother is in a different class.
Do you have a blog in your class at school?
From,
Meredith
Hi Meredith,
DeleteGuten Morgen means Good Morning in German. I am friends with Brooke's grandfather. I have never lived in the United States but I usually visit Brooke's grandfather at least once a year. I am not in school anymore. I am over 50 years young. Thank you Meredith for writing to me and good luck with your twins.
Good Morning Ms. Tulbure and her class,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Krystle and I am Brooke's cousin. I moved from California and now I live in Oregon. I have a small doxidor (Dachshund/Labrador mix) named Sammy who loves going on hikes and trips with me! November is one of my favorite months of the year. The leaves change to pretty orange, red, and pink colors.
In September I took a vacation to Italy, Monaco, and France. I ate a lot of pasta, pizza and sweets. My favorite place was Cinque Terre. The people are very friendly, the water is bright turquoise, and you hike to all 5 cities.
I cannot wait for the holidays. I get to see all of my family and eat great food! Since I live in Oregon, I am driving down with Sammy. This will be the first time my puppy meets a lot of my family. I will make a couple of stops at In-N-Out on my way home. Do you travel during the holidays? If so, where, how and what do you love about the places you go?
Happy Friday,
Krystle
(Brooke's Cousin)
Dear Krystle,
DeleteIt's me, Brooke! Yes, I travel during the holidays. I go to Las Vegas to visit my Grandpa Elbert. Once I visited Hawaii but not during the holidays. My favorite place to visit is Hawaii because they have this juice called Pog Juice. I drink Guava juice at home a lot because it reminds me of my trip to Hawaii.
I can't wait to see you at our Christmas Eve party, that we have every year. I love all the brilliant chefs and the all the people that come. I can't wait to see you there.
Love, Brooke.
Hi,
DeleteThis is Rebecca. I can't wait until Christmas. I already put my tree up. It has Christmas lights and ornaments that are red and yellow. I also have a mini tree that has black and orange ornaments. But it is a silver tree. I get double presents because my dad celebrates Hanukkah and my mom celebrates Christmas. I am so lucky! What do you celebrate during the holidays?
Hi,my name is Austin. My dad`s father was in the U.S. Army in Vietnam, He was a journalist.This means that He wrote newspaper articles for the Army.
ReplyDeleteHi Austin,
DeleteMy father, Elbert fought in Vietnam. He was only 18 at the time. Last month he went to a dinner celebration in Washington D.C. with some other men that fought in the Vietnam war along side him. Have you ever gotten to read any of the articles that your grandfather wrote for the paper?

Hi True,
DeleteYou have one of the coolest names. I love it! Do you know the story behind your name? Blogging is a lot of fun because you can start a conversation and people will log on and add comments. I have enjoyed it a lot! What are your plans for the holidays?
Munch!Munch!"Oh hi I'm Echo!""I'm Lilly!""We are Leopard Geckos!"We are the same species.We need to be in a cage with a big moss bucket,a log,little pool/water bowl and a food bowl.We only grow to like 3-6 inches long.We are nocturnal geckos.We are supposed to live in a tropical terrain.We need food every week.If you buy our type you won't need to clean up after us so much because we only do it in one corner!We are that smart!Cool right!Click!

ReplyDeleteHi Echo and Lily. What type of food do you like to eat? Do you eat every day? I suspect Lilly is a girl but Echo, are you a girl or a boy?
DeleteHave you ever tried to escape from your cage? If you could, where would you go?
From,
Meredith
This is Cameron.
ReplyDeleteI like history it because it tells you how things happen, how things were made, and it tells what happened in the past. For example: the first Thanksgiving started like this. Some people called the Pilgrims sailed to a land where Indians lived but some died because the Pilgrims didn't know how to survive! but soon the Indians helped them get food, make homes, and pretty much everything you need to survive . Which made the first Thanksgiving that's why I like history because it teaches you things that happened.
From,Cameron
Dear Cameron,
DeleteHave you ever read the books called "What is" and then there is a thing after it- like What is the Statue of Liberty or What is Ellis Island? Those are great books to read and they tell the history of something.
What do you think the Pilgrims ate at their first Thanksgiving? Do you think it was turkey like we eat today?
From,
Meredith
Hi,
ReplyDeleteThis is Ava. I'm sad that Thanksgiving break is over,but happy winter break is in three weeks (14 days) so we can celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas, New years and any other holiday. It feels like we were on vacation forever. Not necessarily forever, but a long time. Winter break will be a whole other week.
From,
Ava
Hi Ava. What did you do over Thanksgiving Break? We visited New York and New Jersey so we kept busy. I think when you travel it makes the week go by fast but I was really happy to be back home.
DeleteDid you decorate the house for the holidays? Do you decorate for Christmas, Hanukah or both?
From,
Meredith
Happy 'Almost' December!
ReplyDeleteThis is the last week of November, already. The day after Thanksgiving, our family writes their Christmas List. We write down something we want, need, wear and read. It makes shopping easy and everyone gets a least one thing they really want. Does your family exchange gifts? If so, how do you communicate to your loved ones what you are wishing for this Holiday season.
Happy Holidays,
Michelle

Hi, I'm Carter's mom, Laura. I love blogging and am very excited about family blogging month. What are your favorite kinds of blogs to read? I like learning about camping spots, fun food ideas, crazy travel adventures, and gymnastics. I also like to read things that make me laugh, so if you have a great joke to share I would love to hear it.
ReplyDeleteSincerely,
Laura
Hi Laura,
DeleteI have to share with you El Capitan Canyon. I took my family Glamping there and it was amazing. It is a bit of a drive but definitely worth it. It is just outside of Santa Barbara, right across from the beach. One of Brooke's highlights from the trip was seeing the deers right outside our door. She did get chased by a skunk but thankfully it didn't spray.
Q: How much money does a skunk have? A: One scent!
Take Care,

Hello,My name is Tyler.I went hiking in the Los Angeles area with my dad and my brother. We saw hills and we went to see waterfalls and an old house that was built around 1904. It was still fully standing. When we got back in the car we realized that we hiked 4.2 miles! That is a lot of miles.Then we got tamales. I got a chicken one and my dad got a spicy one. He had to put on a green and red sauce.In Mexico they called it Christmas sauce because the colors was green and red.When you went hiking what did you see? Sincerely, Tyler
ReplyDeleteDear Tyler,
DeleteI think I went hiking in the same place as you because I saw a waterfall and a house on my last hike also. Was it near the beach? We also saw an old fire place that was still standing. There was also an old swimming pool that was filled with dirt.
Over Thanksgiving break, I walked over 21,000 steps a day in New York city which is over 9 miles. I know how many steps I took because we have a Fit Bit that measures it. Do you have one too?
What is a tamale? I don't think that I have ever had them before.
Sincerely,
Dylan
Tyler and Dylan,
DeletePlease ask your parents where this magical waterfall hike is. We love to go hiking but we have never hiked to a waterfall or seen a swimming pool full of dirt. This sounds like an amazing adventure.
Thank you,
Michelle
Hi, My name is Alexa , over the 1 week break I went to Miami
ReplyDeleteFlordia. I hung with my cousins from New York and California,
my great aunt and uncle and my grand parents . we hung out at the beach almost every single day my cousin Caley got tanned and we all went in the water we ended with a relaxing day at the beach. What did you do over the break ? Who was with you ?
Hi Alexa. That sounds like a fun Thanksgiving Break. I have never been to Miami before. It sounds like it was hot there. Did you wear shorts?
DeleteWe were in New York and it was freezing. We had to wear our ski clothes to keep warm. We were not used to the cold weather.
Did your family from New York like the warm weather in Florida?

Hi this is Alex. Thanksgiving is over. We had a party in our house. Our friends came to our house for dinner. My dad cooked a delicious turkey and my mom cooked potatoes, different salads, caviar sandwiches, cranberry sauce and deserts. It was all delicious.
ReplyDeleteI showed off my pets. Guests took the videos and photos of my chameleon and dog. We went to bed late. We were full because we all ate a lot of delicious food. I had a great time and I was so tired.
Hi Alex,
DeleteYour Thanksgiving Holiday sounded like it was a major success. I think that it is awesome that your dad cooked the turkey. Did you take notes so that you will be able to cook a turkey for your family when you grow up? Does everyone come back over for the December Holidays? If so, maybe you can make a special dish on your own.
Happy Holidays!

Hi everyone,
ReplyDeleteFor Thanksgiving break I went to Georgia and Florida to be with my mom's family. I went to Disney World with my cousins for two days. We went to Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios. My favorite park from our trip was Magic Kingdom because of the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Space Mountain. The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is a roller coaster that takes you over mountains and down into a cave where the seven dwarfs are working to get jewels. It is fast and very fun! Space Mountain is a roller coaster in the dark with little lights and it seems like you are in outer space. It is very fast and has sudden drops. I really enjoyed my Thanksgiving break at Disney World.
Have you been to Disney World?
Your friend,
Matthew
Hi Matthew,
DeleteOur family has never been to Disney World, just Disneyland. I was wondering if Disney World is better, the same or a lot different than Disneyland? One of my favorite rides is Space Mountain. Have you been on Space Mountain at Disneyland? If so, is it fairly the same? If not, how is it different?
Looking forward to your reply,
Michelle
Hello! Ms. Tulbure class! It is your classmate Shea. Are you exited for Christmas and Hanukkah. If you don't know what Hanukkah is. It is a holiday that the Jews celebrate. BBBBBBYYYYYYYEEEEEE:) P.S. do you celebrate Hanukkah or Christmas? I celebrate both!
ReplyDeleteHi everyone, it is last day of November. It is almost December and we will have a winter break in 2 weeks. We plan on going to Las Vegas. We may stay in the Venetian Hotel. It is one of my favorite hotels. I rode on the gondola inside hotel on my last visit . You can hear the gondoliers singing and take photos with them. This time I will take the outside ride.
ReplyDeleteWe may also go to a magic show. I like magic and even know a couple of magic tricks.
I hope all in my class will have happy holidays and a great New Year.
Alex
Hello class,
ReplyDeleteThis Thanksgiving I went to New York with my family. When we got to the airport, we flew Virgin America. Our flight was five hours long. I watched Captain Underpants and Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Long Haul. I went with my mom and dad, sisters, my aunt and uncle, and my two cousins. We stayed at the Park Central Hotel in New York. We went to a lot of shopping places. I got a shirt that says "I love NY." I went with my cousins and my sister to the Museum. That's where they shot the Night at the Museum. It was 42 degrees when we went. My trip to New York was great and fun and I had a great time.

Hi Its Sam, How did you Thanksgiving break go? For my thanksgiving break I had a Thanksgiving party with my family on Sunday And I discovered that I have a loose tooth yay! What did you do for your thanksgiving break? Did you have turkey? Bye!
ReplyDeleteHi class, it is Rebecca.I made a pinewood derby car. This is how I made my derby car. It started as a brick. I started carving but I had a little help carving so I don't cut my finger off. My dad's friend helped me. Next, I sanded it. I sand it without help. Also, you paint it. I painted it silver. Finally, you get a number when you get to the race. They check your car and it has to be 5 ounces and then you are in the race. There are themes. Some of them are cub scouts, girl scouts, siblings, and adults.
ReplyDeleteHi class, over the weekend my family and I went to my beach house in Ventura. We found dolphin bones on the beach, it was kind of disgusting. We took a bike ride into town, then got rootbeer floats at a 50's diner called Busy Bee. After that I played at the beach with my grandparents and the entire family celebrated my mom's birthday.I really had a fun time during my weekend. What do you do for fun on your weekends?
ReplyDeletefrom:Carter
Hi Carter,I bet the bones are really cool!Only if you like them. I'm I right?Carter did you like the root beer float?I definitely do because everybody does.Was it fun celebrating your mothers birthday?It would be to me because I love parties.I hope you go again so the class could read what happend.

ReplyDeleteHi Class,
ReplyDeleteIt's me, Rebecca. I have good news. I moved! This huge truck came at 9:00am or 9:30am. This is how my house looked. It has a huge back yard. I moved the day after the Blood Moon, on February 1, 2018. I moved after school. I went to the truck. It was about 26 feet! On February 2, 2018 we will live at the new house. I got my own room!

Hi Ms. Tulbure’s class it is me Shea! Let me tell you about my day! So I woke up and ate breakfast then went to school! Then I went to my house and got ready for my Dad’s house! Then I had to sit in the car for 3 or 2 1/2 HOURS! Then I played with my cousin and her name is Mckenna! I have three cousins and their names are Mckenna,Loren, and Haliey. Loren is the oldest Hailey is the second oldest and Mckenna is the youngest! So that was my day!
ReplyDeleteDear Ms. Tulbure ,
ReplyDeleteI miss you guys a lot, but I made lots of new friends at my new school.
My new teacher is Mrs. Rients, and they only have 3 3rd grade classrooms so there is less students.
My school is adjacent to a park so there is a bigger playground and more space to play.
I learned how to type all the letters on the keyboard and the whole cursive alphabet.
we finished reading a book called The one and only Ivan, I'm sure you heard of it.
Also we just today finished reading a book called The Tale of Desparux Tilling.
Right now we are learning how to compare fractions.
In class we are doing the same thing, exchanging Valentines.
Happy Valentines Day!
Your old student, Belana
