Copy and paste these questions to a new blog post on your own blog and answer them. Then, link your post back to this one! 1. How many posts did you write this school year? What do you think about that? 2. Thinking about your blog and blogging, what makes you most proud? 3. How often do you leave comments for other bloggers? Do you give out more comments than you receive? Talk about commenting. 4. What is one way you'd like to improve as a blogger next year? 5. What did you like best about Tiger Blogging Club? 6. What could your teacher do to make Tiger Blogging Club better next year? 7. List at least five ideas for blog posts you'd like to write over the summer.

Hi everyone! Tiger Bloggers here, meeting to work on comments for our friends, The Fabulous Fifths! I am pretty sure they live in California...am I right on that one? Our school year is winding down and we have done such a great job blogging all year. To my Tiger Bloggers: are you planning on writing over the summer? Next week we are going to set some summer goals for writing, so I want you to be thinking about how many times you are hoping to post over the summer. Have a great week! I hope you know that you are a group of my favorite kids! I love that we get to see each other each week and talk blogs and take pics and enjoy our time together!
Happy 2015 everyone! I'm so excited for a new year and for our Blogging Club to continue to learn and grow as writers and bloggers! Today I am sharing CURRENTLY for the Classroom, but a great teacher-blogger named Farley! To participate in this linky, grab a screen shot of the worksheet below, fill it out, post it to your blog and link up! Then, don't forget to leave comments for the other bloggers! And without further ado - here's my Currently for January, 2015!
Listening to...Taylor Swift Mash-Up It's no secret that I love Taylor Swift (I just got tickets to her concert with one of my bff's yesterday!) but now there's a mashup of Blank Space and Style that is awesome. Taylor even tweeted to them that she was obsessed with it - how cool would that be, to have Taylor tweet to you? So amazing! Anyways, here's the video:
Loving....sleeping in! I don't need to sleep in really late, but if I can not wake up to an alarm that would be awesome! I've been waking up around 8am and that is perfect for me!
Thinking...it was too cold for New Year's Eve! I think it is supposed to be 0 today and for tonight! We have plans about two blocks from our home, so at least it's a quick walk over there, but to be this cold...with no snow? It seems almost mean! My mom and I skyped today and she said I could come down to West Palm Beach and put some sun tan lotion on, but that's not going to fly since I'm not rich :-) Anyways, I'm bundling up tonight when we go out, because Chicago weather be like:
Wanting...to write a book One day I will do this. Today is not the day, but you know....got to put the things you want out into the world to make them happen, right? :-) Needing...my cold to be gone! It's been three days of sneezing and headaches and feeling bad. Must be on it's way soon! One Little Word = tenacity I was going to go with perseverance but when I googled synonyms, tenacity came up and that's better, right? I just want to really stick with my goals this year...like keep on going even when I think I may not be making progress. Tenacity. Sounds good.
Okay Kiddos, it's your turn! Grab this image below (take a screen shot), put it in Power Point, add your ideas with text boxes, and then write a blog post. Don't forget to link it to this post! Looking forward to reading your posts! Also: One Little Word: What word will guide you through 2015?
My Tiger Bloggers are so excited for Christmas! Last week I asked them what they want their new link-up to be and they wanted to share their posts about Christmas. Look below this one to check them out, and remember, we always love comments!
Posted by: Ms. Brezek Thanksgiving is near and it's a great time to think about all the things we are thankful for! Last week, I asked the students in the Tiger Blogging Club to share about a few things they are thankful for. So, please click through the blogs below and see what they have to say! I know I, for one, am so thankful for all the hard work they are putting into their blogs!
Posted by: Ms. Brezek Good Morning! I hope you are enjoying your long weekend as much as I am! I just have to brag a little bit about our student bloggers - I met with them for 30 minutes on Friday and showed them how to write a post. Over the weekend, not only have they written posts, but they've been commenting on one another's blogs, they have changed the themes of their blogs, and some have even figured out how to make an avatar! I am so excited for what is to come! Currently I'm looking for other fourth and fifth grade bloggers so they can start to build their network by reading and commenting on one another's blogs! Parents, teachers, community members - please check out their posts off to the left hand side of this blog (Meet the Tiger Bloggers!) and leave them a comment. Nothing like a comment for a brand new blogger!
We have just begun our Tiger Blogging Club here at Emerson! Today 13 students came to our meeting and are underway writing their first blog. You can find all of our blogs listed along the left hand side of the Emerson Community Collaborative Blog! As soon as the kiddos publish their first post, I know they would love feedback from our community - leave them some love in the form of a comment! Have a great weekend! Ms. Brezek
