To Grade Four in PEI,
It has been a great learning experience to write to you all. We have learned about your class and your province. We have enjoyed sharing ideas and stories.
My class would like to wish you all a safe and happy summer. Good luck in grade five.
Please feel comfortable about writing your pal during the summer months. Just check to see if they would like to continue writing to you. Of course there will be no one to edit your work, but you are getting good about using spell check, and looking over your own work so things should work out just fine. If you are concerned about mistakes in your writing you can ask your parent or whoever is looking after you during the summer to check the Blog for you. Just remember to follow the writing etiquette that was discussed in class before we began Blogging.
Thank you for sharing yourselves with us in Ontario!
Sincerely,
Delia ( Mrs. Kerr-Major )
PS: Dear Darla,
What a special activity this has been! Thank you for being such a great partner.
I hope that we can do this again......Looking forward to seeing you this summer if possible. Catch you later. Oh and please tell the students in your class that we look more alike because I cut my hair. It is now curly like yours!
Take Care,
Love,
Delia

My Province
Hey Peter,
Whats going on there at P.E.I. I’m asking because I haven’t heard from you yet. I thought ther must be something wrong. Well I am going to tell you a little bit about the region I live in named the St.Lawrence Lowlands. It is a very beautiful place if you get to see its natural places like Niagra Falls. Here there are many hills and plains. We have a river that’s called St.Lawrence River and its very long . We also have the Great Lakes here like Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, and Lake Huron . There is a lot of hot weather but there is much of the cold weather too. Some animals that live here are deer, moose, cayote, wolf, lynx, birds and also snowshoe hairs. Our Natural Resources are fertile soil, fruits and vegetables, water and our waterway system.
From Aquil.

Spencer
It’s me again Jamie. Spencer have you ever been to an amazing place? Well I have. In the fall I got to go on an amazing vacation to Costa Rica(while every one else was in school). In Costa Rica my family and I stayed in a awesome hotel that had the biggest pool I’ve ever seen in my whole life! Also amazing food. The only problem was lots of people were speaking Spanish.(they all were pretty good at speaking English) Also there was bearly any kids. Those were the bad parts.
We got to go out of the hotel to go on excertions that have more then one activity. Like the one I went. It had a water slide that took at least 3 mins to get to the top. Also the water would only flow by a guy pulling a lever that let fresh water flow extremely fast to the bottom(this was all coming from fresh, natural waters from the ocean). There was also a canopy tour or zip trek. Which is when you get hooked to a rope that swings over the canopy(which is some trees). After those two things we went horse back riding to a natural mud bath and hot spring. When the vacation was over I was so sad I had to go. Well we can always go back next year. Hope to hear from you soon!
sincerely,Jamie

This is my second letter to you and I am going to be talking to you about my favourite place to be. Well first of all I would like to go to the Caribbean and I`ve been there before when I was in grade two on March Break. Oh and it was a blast! My three older sisters, brothers my whole family went for a week.
My family and I did tons and tons of fun stuff and if you would like to know why I love the Caribbean and the fun stuff we did your lucky because I will tell you everything we did at the Caribbean and the great stuff we did there . Well to start off we lived in a hotel . We were surrounded by the nice beach and the Atlantic Ocean. I was great .
We would always go to the beach or in the water . It had a bar and great drinks there . We would not have to pay for anything because we paid before the whole thing . there was a pool, bars great restaurants and great weather .
We met a kid we saw at the beach and we played with him and he was English so we were great friends along with my twin and big brothers . We went in the pool together,restaurants together played in the water together,we built sand castles together we did tons of stuff together . Oh ya he was a boy and his name was Brady . If you want I can tell you a story that happened to me and my family at a restaurant . Well we were eating at a restaurant and then all of a sudden the power went out like . It was pitch black I was just like ....................... wow . So then they just let us leave . The lights were flicking on and off on and off on and off . Then I saw a guy climbing a hotel. I wandered what he was doing . Then all of a sudden I heard a smash and scream The scream was from somewhere else and the smash was probably the guy trying to brake into his room because he was locked out . That is most of the stuff I can probably tell you about my favourite place to go . I hope some time you go to Punta Cana in the Caribbean .
your friend Riley

Dear Cassie,
Dear Cassie,
My absolute favorite place to go is Disney World because in Disney World has my two favorite rides which are Space Mountains, because it’s in the dark with glow in the dark spots, and my other favorite ride is called The Haunted Mansion, because there are little holograms of ghosts and graveyards. I visited Disney World last year with my family. It was the most fun I ever had. I wish I could go back to Disney World but instead of going to Disney World this time, my mom got a new car called The Ford Escape. I love it so that’s ok with me for now!
Please write to me...Lily
Bye and have a great day.

Hey Peter: What’s going on in P.E.I ? I haven't heard from you yet and I’m looking forward to hearing all about you. Where is your favourite place to go or where do you want to go? My favourite place to go right now is Argentina because they have lots of soccer teams. Argentina looks fun because sometimes playing soccer in Argentina is a blast. For example, when you start a game everyone joins and it gets even more interesting.
Did you know that one side of Argentina really warm and the other is cold. In my last visit to Argentina I went to see a soccer game of children the size of you and me and they played better than I could imagine. I would like to learn from them. Are you good? Well Argentina has always been fun for me. For some reason I like that place, but all I want to hear is where do you like best? Sincerely, Your Pen Pal Aquil.

- Dear Josh
I am going to talk about P.E.I. . My favorite thing about P.E.I. is the beaches. I like the sand because it is warm, soft and you can make sandcastles. My favorite thing about the beaches is that you can climb the rocks. When you climb the rocks you can dig into the rocks. The most delicious thing on P.E.I. is Cows ice cream. It has so many flavors. My favorite flavor is chocolate. I am going to write to you soon.

Dear Grace,
I like my province because of the red sand that we have nowhere else. . Also, because you can have a farm. There are lots of farms here that grow food like broccoli, carrots, potatoes,strawberries,corn,blueberries and other fruits and vegetables. P.E.I is well known for its potatoes. The potatoes grow well in the rich red soil. I also like P.E.I because of the nice beaches that you can swim in, in the summer and take walks on in the winter and fall. We have really good seafood here because we catch it here so it's fresh when we get it. P.E.I is a great place to live.
*** Brenna ***
Hello! I love P.E.I. because it's famous for it's beautiful beaches, Anne Of Green Gables, it's vegetables, it's golf courses, and the biggest bridge in the world. It is also famous for Cow's ice cream. If you come to P.E.I. you can go fishing, golfing, swimming, shopping and camping. When you go camping you can have a campfire. On July first you can go to the Charlottetown bridge and watch the fireworks. They're so cool! You can stay at a hotel and eat at a restaurant too. You can go to a provincial park. Did you know that my grandma grows the sweetest corn on P.E.I? It's the best! You should come here sometime in the summer. Talk to you later. Bye!!!
From,
Vicki
P.E.I.

P.E.I. is the safest island in Canada.We have a lot of vegetables and friendly neighbors and friendly farmers. P.E.I. is very old fashioned and everyone loves to go to see Anne of Green Gable's house and watch the musical at the Confederation Centre.
Dear Sam and Rachel,
What I love about my Province is, I live right beside a beach called Pantings. I practicly live there. The seacond thing is, going to my Grammies house to golf. The third thing is, it is almost the safest place to live. The fourth thing is, I love the lobsters they're so yummy! The fith thing is, I love to go fishing. My Dad takes me and my sister. We catch the fish Mom and Dad eat the fish. the sixth thing is I love to go camping with my Family. It is so fun. sometimes my cousins come camping with us!

Every year Belfast school has a book fair with TOP brand Scholastic books. Plus the Canada Summer Games. Well thats my veiw of P.E.I but to really experience it come to P.E.I
Bye. from Cole.
Lilly please right back.
HI! What I like most about living in P.E.I. is that there are four seasons and in those seasons you can do lots of things.In the summer I like going camping with my family. Do you go camping? Our favourite spot is the New Glasgow!! There is a great pool and it is always warm. There is also a gift shop that sells lots of candy. The campground is in the woods and there are no bugs.
In winter the temperature can get to 35C. . We get lots of snow. One time me and my dad made a igloo, but now we are not getting much snow, probably 5cm sometimes more.
Spring rocks in P.E.I. There are huge puddles that can be 40cm deep SPLASH!! It's great to explore. The sounds of the birds are magnificent. I really like seeing the new born animals that are born in the spring. My dad works on a farm, one night a cow was caving we were there till 9:30pm. The next morning we went back there
and the calf was so cute!!!
.
I love jumping in mud puddles
Summer here rocks, I mean the beaches here have water that is usually warm. There campgrounds are awesome and some have no bugs, wow. If you come here you have to go and see Anne Of Green Gables and Avonlea. If you like to fish come here there are lots of docks and little ponds. The temperature can get to 25C to 30C. You can play golf, there are so manyAmusement Parks like Sand Spit and Shining waters and trails to walk and bike on.
Come to P.E.I.!!!

Hi From Florida
This is Jacob here in Florida. So far we've had a great trip. We went to the Magic Kingdom yesterday and went on Space Mountain. Space Mountain is a ride that has lots of lights and is very very fast. It has some big drops.
We also went to the Animal Kingdom yesterday. We went on the Safari. There were elephants, lions, zebras, speckled birds, and gorillas. We also went on Expedition Everest. On the ride, we came up the track and we found that there was broken tracks. Then, we went backwards for about 500 metres. Then we saw a shadow of the Yedi ripping up the tracks! Then we went forward down a 75 foot drop and at the end we came up and saw the Yedi. It was awesome!
Talk to you soon class.

I go to Maple Gove Public School. I like to spent time at recess with my friends Sean, Will, Jordan, Aquil, Scott , Jamie and Danny. My teachers are Ms. Kerr-major, Ms. Hissink, Madam Thomas and Ms. Hess. My fafourite subject is gym.
Some of my favourite things are video games, food, and sleeping.
Sincerely,
Zach
Letter to Zachary
Dear Zachary,
My name is Sean. Do you have any brothers or sisters? Do you play soccer or baseball? Well I play hockey and 3 on 3, which is a short version of hockey. It is 3 people against 3 people. You still have to shoot the puck in the net.
Here is some news about our school. Our school is getting a new mascot but we don’t know his name yet. Our teacher is really nice and I am doing really good in all the subjects at school.
I go on the bus because I live about 5 minutes away. I live on Spring Field. My family is nice but my brother isn’t very patient because when I get on his nerves he chases me around the house. That's a little blurb about me and I am anxious to hear from you.
Sincerely,
Sean
Dear William
Dear William,
My name is Jordan and I have long hair. I like all fruits except for apples. My favorite movie is “Bench Warmers”. I have one annoying brother. I have two pets one of my cats name is EDDIE and the other is P.J. Eddie has seven toes on each foot and P.J.. is fast.
If I walked to school it would take about fifteen minutes. I like Maple Grove because there are no bullies. Do you have bullies at your school ? I especially like to play sports at school although I am good at Gym and Social Studies.
I heard that you are going to Africa. I hope that you can still blog me from there., that would be so cool.
Sincerely,
Jordan
Hello from Darla
I am am so happy to be doing this writing project with your class. My students and I always look forward to writing to you every day. You didn't hear from us yesterday(Tuesday) because our server was having technical problems. I am writing this to you at home (7am). I hope our tech problems have been fixed today.
A big hello to my beautiful cousin Delia! I am really looking forward to her visit to PEI in May. We plan to eat a lot of lobster, walk on the beach and bike on our Confederation Trail. When the trains stopped running on Prince Edward Island about 15 years ago, all the train tracks were removed and biking/walking/skiing trails were constructed in their place. It is now possible to travel from one end of our Island to the other by foot, bike or on skis using this beautiful trail.
I hope you all have a great day! You all sound like a wonderful group of children.
Love
Darla Thompson

My favourite place in the word is Sea World.You probably don’t know what I am talking about, do you? You get to swim with sharks and also feed them. You can go and watch plays with seals. Its really really fun! You even get to play with the seals. Plus, you get to ride with Dolphins.
Where is your favourite place to go?

Hello from Oakville, Ontario
We are enjoying writing to your interesting and wonderful students in PEI. We are hoping to be able to share information about Ontario and in turn, learn about the unique island of PEI. I like your idea of coming up with topic letters to help us focus our letter writing and to help us organise our thoughts.
I hope that each of your students has received at least one letter from their blog buddy. We are writing first in our word processing program and printing the letter so that I may look over the letters and help with editing before the blogs are posted but I think that the responses in "comments" can be submitted right away, on line. I am sure that you will agree that it is exciting to receive a reply and an answer right away. In this way the class can even access the blog at home to read and add comments to their messages, giving more time in class to write the more detailed and informative letters.
Looking forward to another message,
Love,
Your Lucky Cousin,
Delia

Great site
I think this is a wonderful idea! I love this blog site - it seems so easy to use. Can anyone of my students send messages to one or more of your students? I think they all would love to respond to each other's messages. We as teachers can post a question like "Do you think that homework should be banned from all school?" and have all our students reply and we can get some real dialogue going.
Love Darla
