We have two items on the agenda today and 45 minutes to get them accomplished, so work hard!
1. Blogging. Click this link:
http://kidblog.org/home.php and login to your blog with your first name and last initial. I will explain what your password is once everyone has arrived on "site". :)
2. When finished your post, check your email. Don't print, just read. When you are finished reading you can immediately begin working on a reply. Remember your letter format. Raise your hand when you are finished, so I can read your letter before you send.
For those of you with two buddies, many of you have not sent your first letter to your second buddy. Please do this! They are eagerly awaiting your reply.
