      I am so excited about Christmas and break!!!! I can’t wait to get my Christmas presents!! I asked for a coat from American Eagle, a pink all-fuzzy Northface jacjet, a rasberry fizz Vera Bradley Bag, and a baby blue print Burberry scarf. I hope I get them all! I also can’t wait to see my cousin, Eric. He just came home from college, and he lives right across the street from me! Me, my sister LAuren, my cousin Jenna, and my other cousin, Eric are like brothers and sisters. We are so close and we always have been. All of my family come over for dinner on Christmas Eve, and then me and my family go over my cousins house for Christmas Day. Me and my family also take Christmas very seriously becuase it is the birth of Jesus Christ. I also can’t wait for it to snow!!!! On Christmas break, we also take a few trips up to New York City and go shopping, and go skating. We also go to fancy restaurants.

          I Love Christmas!!!!!!!! =)))))) Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!=))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

   I cannot believe that this is the last post!!!!I have put fortha lot of time and effort into this blogging competition, and it paid off because I learned so many things, and I have a new website to use and to express my mersonal feelings through my writing. I have done 25 blog posts, and I have received sixteen comments. I have also sent several comments to different people from different classrooms and countries. I am not sure how many people have visited my blog, but I know that it is a lot. The widgets I have are an ipod, and an avatar.

     This blogging competition has really helped me to improve my literacy skills because I am very self-conscious about making any grammar and spelling mistakes. Writing posts have also helped me to show my emotions and feelings through my personal writing entries. My favorite post  out of all of mine is the one on bullying, which was also a post for the blogging competition. I think I have most improved on expanding my vocabulary and making my posts sound more proffesional. The skills I have learned over the past couple of months were incorporating a lot of feeling and emotional in the majority of my posts, and I think people have left comments for that reason. I have also tried to incorporate some humor in my posts, and that has broken that wall of embarrasement to write publicly for the whole world to see and read.

       I think it is good to write with a world wide audience in mind because it preps you up to produce a really good and professional piece of writing that you know the whole world will see. I also think it is really good practice to know that people from all around the world will visit and read your posts. This will help us in the future to be able to write really good papers for school, college, and work. Posting our own pieces of writing during this post have also givin me and other kids the confidence to be able to share, and want to share, other writings with people who live all around the world. With the scoring rubric, I would give myself a 4, I would give myself a 4 for understanding, and a 3 for timeliness. 

When I see all of the hard work that I put into my blog, I feel happy and proud that I accomplished a great site.    

      Hello, Kelly, I do not play any sports, but I do take dance lessons. I take jazz, tap, and ballet lessons. I also do private solos. The sports that are big in my country, America, are football, basketball, baseball, and soccer. I like to have sleepovers, do to the mall, travel, and eat ice cream for fun.
