Last Blog

Congratulations on a successful year of blogging! When we look back at what you have posted this year, we are very impressed. Many of you provided thoughtful, honest, and insightful answers to some challenging and fun questions. Great job!

However, the last month of blogging is upon us. Do not answer questions from previous months. For May, we are looking ahead to summer and beyond, trying to find some good book suggestions to carry us through. You'll notice that many of the questions ask for you to relate to a book in a more personal way. Please be sure to explain your answer as best you can. This is your last chance to give some really good recommendations to your friends and classmates. The blog will be up all summer so you can check back here to find a good book to read.

Let's make this the best month of blogging. Read your responses carefully and proofread to try to eliminate spelling and punctuation errors. Also, make sure you include titles and authors for all questions. Finally, elaborate on your answers, and really explain your thoughts so everyone can understand them.

Thank you for all of your hard work!

Love,
Mrs. Marusa and Miss Schweikert
