One of our favourite websites to visit is INKLESS TALES and late last week the editor of this website, Elizabeth Bushey, left a comment on OUR blog!
We thought we were very special when we read her lovely comment left on our DO YOU HAVE TO BE A TEACHER TO TEACH? post. Elizabeth agreed with us that anyone can be a teacher and reminded us that WE CAN DO ANYTHING because we CAN.... we just have to TRY.
We felt like V.I.P.'s because someone from the other side of the world had visited our blog. We looked at Elizabeth's website and realised she was a V.I.P. too- a very clever one at that!
Yesterday when we logged onto the blog, there was another comment from Elizabeth, this time on our POST ABOUT 5. When we read this comment, OUR JAWS DROPPED.... NO WORDS CAME OUT!!!
Now we have to come up with some ideas for a TITLE and some ILLUSTRATIONS to go with the poem. We've never worked with an AUTHOR before. We are EXCITED, AMAZED and PROUD!
We feel really blessed to have Elizabeth help us learn. So we wanted to do something special for her (with just a bit of help from Mrs M!)
HERE IT IS...
We have a new friend, Elizabeth
America is where she's at.
That's a long way
but she's a mouseclick away
WOW... imagine that!
She's a writer and illustrator of stories and poems
and great games and songs too.
We love her website Inkless Tales
There's so much to see, learn and do!
Elizabeth paid a visit to our blog
and left a comment you see.
She agreed with us- we ALL can teach
That's right- even you and me!
Now there's a poem about number 5
We were the first to see it.
Thankyou Elizabeth for choosing us-
we really can't believe it!
The poem we love, we think it's great
It really helps you learn
all about 5 and what it looks like
but now it is our turn.
We learnt from you, you showed us how
We are trying something new
You encouraged us to have a go....
So here's our poem, Elizabeth, to you!
THANKYOU!
We know Mrs M has emailed Elizabeth and there are some exciting things we can do together.... we just wish she lived closer!
There's no one else in our school that has had this happen to them. WE THINK THIS IS THE BEST YEAR YET...AND IT'S ONLY JUST BEGUN!!!
HOPE YOU LIKE OUR POEM, ELIZABETH. :>)
Yesterday the Preps and Year Ones retold the events of PALM SUNDAY... of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem.
Jesus came riding into town on a donkey.
Mrs M clicked on the GREEN PHONE and it started to ring. Finally Mrs D answered and we could SEE her on the screen and HEAR her through the speakers!
Sometimes her voice slowed right down and the screen froze, then the line dropped out. We had to ring back 4 times! In the end Mrs M had to type in a chat message to say 'Goodbye'. We hoped this wouldn't happen when we called ELIZABETH!
At 9:30 we called ELIZABETH. It was 7:30 on Sunday night in Middletown, New York where Elizabeth is.
We spent about 15 minutes talking to Elizabeth. We introduced ourselves and she showed us her dog Tucker.
It was just SOOO AWESOME! Mrs J came back to watch with some of her class and Mrs S and Mrs B came down from their offices to watch too.
it flew onto my sister's hat. I was screaming because it was SOOO close to my face!
Then it hopped up high onto the wall, right up in the corner
and it stayed there until the morning.
SPARKLING work. 
WE ARE SOOOO EXCITED!!
