Final Blog Challenge for ’09
It is hard to believe that this is the final challenge for ’09. Miss Wyatt has challenged us to create avatars, comment on others’ blogs, add widgets, comment appropriately, and much, much, more. As a class, it was our first attempt in blogging and our goal was to learn how to use our blog and how to communicate effectively with other students from across the globe. Wow! What an adventure it has been. We have learned so much and have much more to learn. Thanks, Miss Wyatt, for creating this challenge. We look forward to an exciting 2010 challenge and continued communication with students from around the world!
For our final challenge, here is what Miss Wyatt would like to know.
Week 10 challenge
- What topics would you want to write about if you take part in another challenge next year?
- What questions would you ask overseas students that they could then answer in a post?

Read any good books lately?
Recently I found a new blog where the students were giving book reviews for what they had been reading. I enjoyed reading what they had to say and thought that this would be an excellent opportunity for us to share some thoughts on the books we have been reading. What is your favorite book? What did you like the most about the book? What genre was the book? Be sure to check out the book reviews on the Huzzah Blog and see if they are reading any of our favorites!

Punked Out Pumpkins
 The White Oak Bright Spots and other students had a great time celebrating the Halloween Season decorating their pumpkins! A special thanks to all the parents who bought pumpkins, helped decorate, and clean up our mess. We really had fun and appreciate all you do to ensure that our kids have the best experiences possible. |

Challenge Week 7
Challenge week 7 Favorite Holiday/Vacation
I love the beach. If I could take a vacation during the holidays, you would find me sitting on the beach with a great novel reading while listening to the ocean waves break along the seashore. I can almost hear those waves and seagulls now. Guess I will just have to dream about it for now. Maybe I will be able to head to one of those beautiful white, sandy beaches soon.
What is your favorite holiday or vacation that you have already been on? Why is it a favorite?
Remember to tell your readers answers to questions beginning with who, where, when, what, how, why.
- Who did you go with?
- Where did you go?
- When did you go?
- What was the best part of the holiday/vacation?
- How did you get there?
- Why did you go to that place? etc etc
Include some links so your reader can visit the place you went to or want to go to. Try to find some images of the holiday or vacation place.
