Jefferson, our classroom teddy bear, loves to travel and learn about life. He's especially interested in how people use Lifeskills. With the help of his classmates (who will help him type), Jefferson will share his many experiences and what he's learned in this web log ("blog"). Enjoy following Jefferson along his merry adventures!

Poetry Pleasures

Yo!
     Some of you said you have written poems before.  I'll share one of my poems with you.  I have to look for it first. I'd love it if you'd share a poem with me.  Okay?  Remember to write your name! Poetry is one of my favorite things in the whole world ... that is next to chocolate (of course!)  Remind my mom to show you the Hershey kiss poem I made.  It's pretty cool; it's in the shape of a Hershey kiss.  OH! I just found itl  I typed it in the "Comments" part.  Tell me what you think, and share one of YOUR poems!
    Gotta go; Soda is calling me.

Got a Good Book to Recommend?

Yo Dudes and Dudettes,
    The class Snuggle Down is happening soon.  I'm looking for a good book to snuggle up with and read. (Huh, is it "snuggle UP or snuggle DOWN?... weird).  Do you have any suggestions?  Whoever can write the most persuasive book review, I'll read that book!  REALLY!
Be sure to tell me the title and the author (so I can look it up in the library - if you don't know it, I'll figure it out.)
Also tell me a little about the characters, where the story takes place (the setting), what the big deal is in the story (the plot), and of course, why you think I'd enjoy reading this book MORE than any of the other books. 
HINT: I especially like stories where the characters learn an important lesson or use Lifeskills. That could really persuade me!    Please tell me about a good book!  I need one to read today!
       Your buddy ol' pal,
       Jeffie

Yo Dudes and Dudettes,
    I had a blast reading your blog posts this evening.  I've been typing responses to lots of you all evening.  My little paws are sore now!  I better soak them in some vanilla ice-cream.  It's more fun than an ice-pack. Has my mom ever said to you, "Reading is thinking"?  Well, when I was reading all of your posts, it made me think that maybe I should come to school and hang out.  I'd really like to see your poetry projects. 
   Your pal,
   Jeff da Bear

Poetry Project Reflection

Yo Dudes and Dudettes!
    How are you doing?  I'm hanging out with  Chocolate and Soda, and my  other brothers and sisters and friends.  I hear you're just finishing up on your poetry project.  I love poetry because its short (unless you're reading Edgar Allen Poe) and it makes me laugh or feel things in a strong way. I've even written a few poems!   Maybe I can come to hear you present!  What was your theme?  What did you like about doing your project? Also, have you ever written a poem?  I have.  I'll  share  a poem I wrote if you share a poem you wrote! 
Let's keep in touch!
    Your pal,
    Jefferson bear

P.S.  When you write back, please tell me your name so I know who to write back to.  Thanks dude!
