Detective Flossy and the Case of the Bouncing Bunny Do you know detective Flossy! You don’t! Shes a famous kid detective. Her name is really sally but only her parents and teachers call her that. The kids at school call her detective Flossy.
Now one day detective Flosses brother(He’s named Carl) came home with a sad expression on his face. “What’s wrong brother” detective Flossy said. “Today I was the one to bring home the class bunny for the weekend”Carl said.”I brought home the bunny and set her on my drawer.”Carl said. “I went to play with my older 4th grade friend and my 2nd grade friend and when he went home my bunny was gone!”Carl said”What will I tell my teacher!” Carl walked away sadly.
Detective Flossy thought all day about this then she asked her brother”did your friends do anything unusual while you were playing”? “Why yes he did “said Carl. “We were playing an his hair got messed up”Carl said”Then he went to put some gel in his hair”. “Let me see the cage where the bunny was”Detective Flossy said. “OK Sis”Carl said! They went into the room. “ what is this gooey and sticky stuff”Carl said! “I don’t know but let me think” detective Flossy said! “I solved the mystery, you’re fourth grade friend took it” detective Flossy said!
How did she know! Comment and tell me!

Hi there,
My name is Merry Beau and I am your student blogging challenge mentor. I will be popping in to visit your blog over the course of the challenge and seeing how you are getting on.
I teach children between the ages of 4 and 12 and I am from Ireland. I have two grown up children: one is a midwife and the other hopes to join the Irish army shortly. My hobbies are blogging and gardening. I would on our school website and three school blogs; my own class blog, a Green Schools blog and a history one. Here is a link to our class blog http://merrybeau.edublogs.org/category/student-favourite/
I also love walking our dog. She is a seven year old Japanese Akita and is a very loyal and protective member of our family.
My class and I have done the student blogging challenge in the past.I guess you have too. So you will know that if you ‘keep with it’ you will learn a lot. As Ms.W says you can choose from the suggested activities to do what really interests you. That way blogging is such fun. Well done on your awesome avatar, 2017 Student Blogging Challenge badge and glad to see you have an All About Me page
It would be lovely to hear back from you. Otherwise I feel like I am talking to myself. Part of the fun of blogging is getting to hear from people all over the world. As Miss W. says if you finish your tasks why not visit other student bloggers and leave a comment to say hello.
With every good wish
Dear Lily,
How LOVELY to hear from you all the way from Pennsylvania. You are the first student from Blue Ball Elementary School to reply to me.
Thank you for visiting our blog ‘If Only the Best Birds Sang’ and leaving a compliment and friendly and chatty comment.
Gracie is a lovely name for a dog. What kind of a dog is she? I imagine a large, dark coloured labrador. Is my guess correct? What age is she?
I think growing up with a dog in the family is a great thing. We got our dog when my younger child was ten. Our lovely dog is eight years old now. I love the way she is always glad to see me. I bet Gracie is the same.
Wishing you a Happy St. Patrick’s Day for Friday 17th March. We here in Ireland have no school on that day and many of the children will be marching in the St.Patrick’s Day parade. Many of them will be marching with a sports club or youth group that they belong to.
Do you belong to any sports or hobby group? When I was your age I belonged to a swimming club and a choir. The children I teach belong to lots of clubs. They seem to do at least as many after school activities as there are working days in the week: activities like theatre group, yoga, rugby, basketball, science club and art. Some children are so busy they have more than one after school activity in a day.
Spring has arrived here in Ireland. We have had a very mild winter, but see on the TV news that Pennsylvania has had some snow recently. I hope it did not cause too much disruption. However, even though the weather is Spring like this week, the weather forecast for St.Patrick’s Day is for light rain and wind.
Blogging is really good for someone who would like to be a writer. Keep up the good work,
So long for now, with every good wish,
Merry Beau
Hi Lily,
I am visiting the blogs of all the students I mentor to check in on their progress. I see that you have an About Me page, you have a Student Blogging badge up and are doing some of the challenges. I also see that you are commenting and I know you are visiting blogs. Great to see that you are on board with the Student Blogging Challenge 2017.
Keep blogging, With every good wish, Merry Beau
Hello again,
I hope all is good with you.
Ms.Wyatt has put up a really interesting set of challenges this week on family, culture and your home country. I really look forward to seeing which challenge or challenges you choose and what you write.
You can see what she is suggesting here:
http://studentchallenge.edublogs.org/2017/04/09/week-5-culture-and-family/
You are all doing SO well in Mr.Geiman’s class on the Student Blogging Challenge, that I suggest that you aim to do your VERY best work and if you are REALLY proud of it, that you draw Ms.Wyatt’s attention to it by posting a link to it on this page. She may feature it on the Flipboard magazine or give your work a mention in a post later on in the challenge.
If I see any TRULY wonderful work on your blogs between now and the end of the challenge I plan to pass the link on to Ms.Wyatt also.
NOW. THIS IS IMPORTANT… If you are sending a link to the post you feel you have done really well DON’T sent her a link to your whole blog. For example this is a link to our class blog. http://merrybeau.edublogs.org/
Instead send Ms.Wyatt a link to the actual post. For example this is a link to a special post on our class blog that we wrote for the students in Mr. Geiman’s class http://merrybeau.edublogs.org/2017/04/09/a-special-post-for-mr-geimans-class-in-pennsylvania-usa/
This is because there are over two thousand students doing the student blogging challenge and if Ms.Wyatt is directed to a blog it would take time for her to find the actual post that you would like her to see.
With every good wish and wishing you a Happy Easter,
Merry Beau
Hi Lily,
Thanks for leaving a comment on our class blog.
I am glad you liked the wizard widget.
If you click on this link you will see the website where I got the wizard.
https://www.fodey.com/generators/animated/wizard.asp
As you can see there is a ninja there too.
You write what you would like the wizard to say in the rectangular box.
Then you click ‘generate’.
This generates a HTML code that you can embed on your page.
Keep up the good work.
I liked your colourful post on getting good comments.
With every good wish
Merry Beau
Hello again,
Just to say I sent the following note to Ms.Wyatt,
‘Great news. I am having such a great time mentoring the hardworking bloggers that you assigned me from Mr. Geiman’s class.
There is every sign between badges, About Me pages, posts and the use of the hashtag #stubc17 that they are all on board with the Student Blogging Challenge.’
I have been a mentor for a number of years now and you are far and above the best group I have ever mentored. Congrations and well done to you and your teacher.
This week Ms. Wyatt says you should prepared for a game that will be coming up as part of the Student Challenge in a couple of weeks. In order to be prepared she you like you to have at least 5 other student blogs linked on the sidebar of your blog, in a page near your header area or in a recent post that your visitors can find easily. Make sure these are blogs from other students around the world, not just those in your class or school. Perhaps have a blogroll or link category called Global students or Global classes. You can read how to do that on this link: http://help.edublogs.org/blogroll/
Ms. Wyatt also says ‘Having read many of your posts, I came up with the following essentials in a great post.
• catchy title
• includes at least one visual (with attribution) whether photo, cartoon, video or another web 2.0 tool like padlet or glogster
• interesting topic with the passion of the author coming through
• well written and not copy/pasted from somewhere else
• shows it has been proofread and spellchecked
• written in paragraphs – at least three of them
• includes links to other websites on similar topics – at least two of these’
I would agree with Ms.Wyatt and in particular I would say that visuals are important. So is checking one’s spellings. Sometimes, I have seen lovely posters made that were very visual, but a spelling mistake on the poster took away from the overall effect.
Ms. Wyatt asks that ‘When you have finished your post, please come back here to the blogging challenge and leave a comment on this post’.
Here is the link to the post she is talking about: http://studentchallenge.edublogs.org/2017/04/23/week-6-what-to-write-about/
She asks that you ‘mention what topic you wrote about and leave a link to your post’….not a link to your blog but to the post.
She says that if your posts covering the seven things mentioned above e.g. has a catchy title, includes at least one visual etc. etc., it will be added to the flipboard magazine.
Here is a link to all Ms. Wyatt said this week, https://studentchallenge.edublogs.org/2017/04/23/week-6-what-to-write-about/
Have a good week and good luck with your blogging. Keep up the good work. I have every confidence in you.
With every good wish
Merry Beau
