Dear Students,

Earth Day is on April 22nd every year. Earth Day is a day to remember to take care of our planet, Earth. We can take care of our planet in many ways.

Our planet has many problems such as pollution, endangered animals and plants, loss of our rain forests, global warming, energy problems, and many other concerns.

Write about what things you think should be done to help the earth. What do you think is the most serious problem facing the earth today?

Every person can make a difference! Remember to try to make every day an "Earth Day"!

Happy Blogging,
Mrs. Millet :)

Back in Time

(Parent Blog #3 for March 26th)


Dear Parents,

We would love for you to post a comment on our blog site. For this third blog, I thought it would be fun to have you tell us about your school days. Your job is to try to remember being in elementary school.

What was your favorite food served in the cafeteria? What was your favorite game to play at recess? What was the best activity to play during PE time? Is there anything else that you’d like to mention about your days in school? We look forward to reading all about it!

Happy Blogging,
Mrs. Millet :)

Your Opinion

(Topic for March 26th)

Dear Students,

This week I'd like your opinion about traveling in space.

On September 18, 2006, Anousheh Ansari became the world’s first female space tourist. She smiled just before boarding a spaceship in Russia. (http://www.anoushehansari.com/)

Would you take a ride in the space shuttle if you could? If so, why would you go and what would you hope to learn while you were up there?

Happy Blogging,
Mrs. Millet :)

My Special Animal

(Topic for March 12th)

Dear Students,

This week I'd like you to use your imagination and create a new animal that does not really exist. It can be an animal made up of different parts of other animals. For example, it might have the body of a lion, but the wings of a butterfly and the neck of a giraffe.

Describe your animal and give your animal a name. Does your animal have any special abilities of talents? If so, tell us about your special animal!

Happy Blogging,
Mrs. Millet :)

Random Acts of Kindness

Article posted February 6, 2007 at 10:00 PM GMT0 • comment (22) • Reads 25

(Topic for February 5th)

Dear Students,

This week I'm like you to write about a random act of kindness that you saw someone do for someone else, or that you did for someone.

A "random act of kindness" simply means that
someone did a kindness to someone else to either help them, or to cheer up a stranger, or for no reason other than to make someone happier.

Write about yourself or any person that helped someone, even if it's not someone they know, by being kind to another person in some way.
