Bloomer 6th Grade

Who, from the past or present, would you like to teach your class for a day? What would you learn from them?  If you could go on a free field trip, where would you go and what would happen?

We have five senses:sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. Which sense do you enjoy using the most? Which sense do you think is the most important? Write about your favorite sense.

The hundredth day of the calendar year occurs in April. What would you do with a hundred dollars?  What are  5 things you would like to have a hundred of?  What are 5 things you would not like to have a hundred of?

1. Write postitively about appropriate things.
2. Light debating and discussion is fine.
3. We will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts. The administration and teacher’s decision is final in these matters.
4. Write about topics — not people.
5. Use proper grammar and spelling when writing.
6. Do not post personal information.
7. Stick to the topic of the post you are writing about.
8. When you comment on a blog, comment about the subject and not about the owner of the blog or other people.
9. Be respectful in posting and/or commenting.
10. No posting meaningless threads such as one word or short non-sense posts.
11. These rules cover most common situations, they cannot anticipate everything.

There are enough bad blogs or on the internet — too many, in fact — let’s do something different.
