Everyone
Please remember to post your blog when you are finished with them and not leave them in the editing section if you want them to be read by your blog pal.
The topic after the initial introduction is "the place I would like to visit"...the third topic will be talking about your own province and what makes it special to you.
Thanks and happy writing.
Sincerely Yours,
Mrs. Kerr-Major (Delia )

HI JACOB
Hi when are you going to write back? What hotel are you staying in?Did you see many animals ?
By LL
My P.E.I
What I like about P.E.I is we have Stock Car races, GREAT gift shops,and Brad Richirds lives in Marry Hourbor. The icecream is the best you'll ever eat. 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.!!!
Your Pen- Pal

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.
Jacob

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,

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

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
