Do they clean the Blarney Stone between kisses?

Comment by D. Hopkins | February 6, 2007
Meghan – maybe someday we can go to Ireland together. Has anyone in your class ever been to Ireland? Your great-grandfather (my grandpa and my dad’s father) came to the United States from Ireland. He emigrated to American from Ireland – maybe you can look that word up. He was from just outside of Dublin. Can you find Dublin on a map? Is there anything special about Ireland. Does anyone in your class have a parent who grew up in Ireland? Maybe they can come talk to your class about Ireland someday. I LOVE this project . I am so glad you are studying about the different countries in the world. Love mom

Meghan – Oops – I am just learning how to use a blog. Comments number 2 and 3 are from me (mom) but I forgot to put my name in the space so it had your name there. Thank you for teaching me something new. Love mom

Meghan – nice job on your report! How big is the Blarney Castle? Do you know when it was built? It looks really old.

What this blog is about…

Each year in Mrs. Ramras’ Second Grade, students choose a country to study. During this year’s project, students will be learning about many different countries. This blog, “Sharing Cultures, Sharing Knowledge” will showcase the process of this educational journey.

Students will be sharing and communicating what they have learned during this project through this blog. Each student will be posting with assistance during classtime four times throughout the project. (Students will be posting by first name only.) “Sharing Cultures, Sharing Knowledge” is a private blog with a nonpublished address. Please comment as much as you like to any or all of the postings you will read on this blog. The students will be excited to read your comments and share in your experiences. This will help our students better understand the various countries and heritages represented in this project. Please share this blog address with your family and friends so that they may, too, comment and share with our students.

Please know that comments will be posted for all to read. If you would like to email Mrs. Murdach, Technology Facilitator or Mrs. Ramras, Second Grade teacher, please see the Lyon School link to locate the email contacts.
