Thing 4

I really love commenting on other peoples blog and I especially love to read comments people write to me. Its nice to see that someone is actually reading and enjoying your thoughts. By commenting and not just reading you help to create a sense of community and learning through eachother's thoughts and ideas! Sometimes
reading blogs can help you learn from other peoples mistakes and experiences and others can even help you learn how to do something.

Here are some blogs that I enjoy reading written by some of my classmates. :]

Jessi Wright: http://education3040-wright.blogspot.com/
I have known Jessi since APSU 1000. She is a sweet girl but I have never gotten to know her very well. By reading her blog I learned we have a lot in common including a love for baking and wearing dresses. I told her about our similarities and will probably continue to read her blog because of them.

Bridgette Elmore: http://belmorejkl.blogspot.com/
Bridgette has been my roommate for the past two years up until this year. However, we do live in the grove just in different buildings so I see her all the time. Her blog is fun and cute like her. :] Bridgette made a reference to Finding Nemo on her blog which I love so I commented on her post that I thought that was clever and cute. :]

By the way, Blogging can also be used to share photos. Here is a favorite of Bridgette and I.



Kenna Gupton: http://kennagupton.blogspot.com
Kenna and I have been really good friends for a few years now. Kenna helps me in Sped and I help her in this class. We sit together and work really well together. I am so lucky to have her as a friend and classmate. Kenna mentioned my name in her blog saying that I helped her create hers. So I commented her to tell her that I appreciate her help in subjects that I struggle in.

Blair Offutt: http://blairoffutt.blogspot.com
Blair is just such a funny person so I knew his blog would be exciting to read. He named it Blair's 23 Happy Things. SO Blair. I told Blair that I liked his avatar because he gave his a puppy and I gave mine a kitten.

Rob Keith: http://keithr33-keithblogger.blogspot.com
I do not yet know Rob but he is in my section of this class so I am sure we will meet soon. By reading his blog I can see some of our ideals are the same, and I like how he is already on Thing 6! I told Rob that he had some great ideas about blogging in the classroom, which I agree is a fabulous idea.

This is a blog I found when I wanted to make sugar cookies for my boyfriends fraternity. This woman makes gorgeous cookies and was kind enough to explain step by step how to make her beautiful cookies. By following her instructions I was able to make my own and have been doing so for about a year now. Hers are much more beautiful than mine however, she is just so talented!! I commented to tell her how amazing i think her cookies are and to thank her for putting directions on there for people like me to learn from.

Here are some cookies I made using her recipes and instructions for my boyfriends birthday and my best friend Hillary's cousin Peyton's Birthday.




Finally,
thelemondsfamily.blogspot.com

This is actually my favorite 6th grade teachers blog. She has a beautiful family and has such sweet thoughts and posts about her family, her hobbies, and her God. I have commented on hers before to tell her how cute her kids are and how much I enjoy reading her blog.

Reading and commenting blogs is so fun and easy to do. Unfortunately I could get lost reading blogs for hours just by clicking on peoples friends, links, and followers. :]
