The days of summer vacation have passed us by. No longer awoken by the rumbling of our stomachs but now by that wonderful sound we all love so much, our alarm clocks. That’s okay though because that means it’s time for school!
Over the summer I was hard at work getting ready for the new year. When I came back into the classroom, it felt so empty. It’s just not the same when it isn’t filled with students. It didn’t help that none of the bulletin boards were done, none of the computers were set up, and nothing else was ready to go.
Now the rooms are finally filled again with smiling faces. Everything is ready to go for a new year. Bulletin boards are up and ready to add great student work to them. Computer are ready for some blogging. The “green screen” is cleaned and ready for some great new videos.
I’m definitely looking forward to another amazing year!

Dear Mr. Avery,
I really like the new news teams and the students look a lot different. The camera we have now is a lot better now than in fourth grade. Sixth grade is awesome!

Dear Mr. Avery,
What did you do over the summer? I went to the beach A LOT and down to my aunt’s pool at least once a week!
There was one time that I went to my cousin Ben’s production of Fame and he was absolutely fabulous!
I also did a little performing myself. I had a show in late June and it was in front of like 2,000 people.
I dance at Boss Academy of Performing Arts. Please write back!

Dear Mr. Avery,
My favorite thing that i did this summer was going to New Hampshire. I had so much fun. We went out for ice cream, swam in the lake, jumped off boats into the water, and played with my little baby cousin. The one thing that I didn’t like was the weather in the morning, was super cold. Overall I had a great time and can’t wait to go up in the winter because I get to go on the Ski Doo!

I MISS YOU MR. AVERY! But…….Middle School is pretty awesome too! I hope you have ANOTHER great year! I should probably mention that I’m looking forward to visiting you and Miss Girard! Tell her I said hi! (PLEASE!) Also, tell your students that next year they’ll LOVE Middle School. But, I may not go to the Silver Lake High School because I’m going to apply for Bristol Aggy’s. Ciao for now!

Dear Mr. Avery,
Wow the classroom looks so empty! Now it’s all set up and there is a lot of kids in it. Over the summer i did a lot of things like go to the beach, riding my dirt-bike and my favorite thing was when me and my dad went fishing! At the beach we saw a baby seal and it was so cute. But since they bite, the harbor masters would not let us near it. Also over the summer my baseball team and I won the championship! We had a perfect season of 14-0! You probably saaw the clipping of the paper on the bulletin board in the school. I also did alot more over the summer.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr Avery and class,
Hello, I’m Skye from 4KJ, Australia. I have my own blog and this is the address: http://skyessuperblog.global2.vic.edu.au/
My school’s holidays are coming up soon. Next Friday is our last day of term three. We have two weeks off. I love school but it is good to have a break sometimes.
At school our term topic is about Natural Disasters. A couple of Natural Disasters are floods, tornadoes and volcanoes. Here is a website to tell you about natural disasters: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_disaster

Dear Mr. Avery
Over the summer I did a ton of stuff! One day we were coming home from an epic day at the beach and we all went to take my dog belle on a walk when we came back it was around dusk and there was a crow in our yard! It was eating the strawberry’s of my strawberry patch! We took Belle inside and went back out to investigate the crow. we inched closer and closer and finally we were right next to it! it looked at us and knew we were right there. I reached down ever so slowly and started to pet it! My dad said people probably fed it and that’s why it was so tame but i knew better! The next morning i woke up really early to find the crow sleeping in my play set. So i made a little food mix with berry’s, bran cereal, mashed potatoes ham and mac and cheese. i went outside to try and feed it first i threw the food to it then i held it out of my hand the crow hopped right on my lap and started to peck the food in my hand! I had a pet crow! It continued like that for a month or so and then one morning it was gone. I don’t know were it went but it was very fun while it lasted!

Dear Mr Avery and class,
Welcome back to school!
My name is Mrs Morris and I teach 4KM and 4KJ with Miss Jordan at Leopold Primary School in Australia.
Our students have been blogging buddies with Mr Avery’s students since 2010. We have worked on some fabulous projects together. All of my students look forward to getting to know you through blogging.
Most of the children in 4KM and 4KJ are turning 10 years old this year. Our school year starts in late January/early February and ends just before Christmas. So we have already been in school for about eight months.
While you have been enjoying summer, we have been experiencing winter. In June/July I was fortunate enough to travel to the USA to meet some of my American blogging buddies! I had such a great time. I visited Los Angeles, San Diego, New York City, Washington DC and San Francisco.
Spring has just started here although the weather is still quite wintery. Next week is our last week of term then we have holidays for two weeks.
What did you all do on your vacation?
Your friend in Australia,
Mrs M☀rris
