This is my new avatar I choose this one because I have brown hair and eyes. I also love the color blue. I also like the smell of flowers and I love crowns. My hair is now longer and my hair is more wavy.
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 see 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 having a 2017 Student Blogging Challenge badge, an All About Me page and an avatar. You are very organized.
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
Hello Again from Ireland.
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.
I am really hoping for a reply from you. It would be fun to get a conversation started.
So long for now, with every good wish, Merry Beau
Hi Emilee, Just checking in on all the students that I am mentoring to check that the challenge is going well for people. I can see that it is going well for you; that you have an About Me page and you are doing plenty of the suggested challenges.Perhaps you could put up the 2017 Challenge badge. Be sure to reply to comments too.
Keep up the good work, 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
