As a new school year begins in the southern hemisphere, we north-of-the-equator types are heading into spring. Time for a shiny new Student Blogging Challenge! In the first week, Miss Wyatt is suggesting we reintroduce ourselves. We are drawing inspiration from Brianna’s Alphabet Post and writing our own.
Me first!
I love watching people in the airport arrivals lounge. The anticipation and then the hugs when family and friends reconnect–that makes me happy. I am fascinated by bees and take pictures of them whenever I can. Mason bees in particular fascinate me. Chocolate is my favourite treat. Dark, of course. I admire Queen Elizabeth II for her lifetime of service. I find felines far too finicky. Spring, summer and fall…you’ll find me in the garden. I have a bad habit of losing my keys. Not infrequently, either. My real first name is Janet. I come from a long line of knitters and people who laugh a lot. My mediocre superpower is that I can tell you when milk is about to go bad. I have never bungee jumped, and don’t regret it one bit. I like old things, so I collect vintage Pyrex, quilts, and rare Christmas ornaments. I would like to travel to Scotland and take part in an archaeological dig at Hadrian’s Wall.
In 2004-05 I sailed around the globe on a tall ship with my husband, our two kids, and 65 students and adult crew. It was a unique experience, very challenging and immensely rewarding. I learned the world is a beautiful place, and that I live x-actly where I want be. To remain young at heart, I will stay curious about people, places, and new experiences. Perhaps I will even revisit Zanzibar again after I retire!
And there you have it, all about me, A to Z. If you’d like to comment, why not leave a letter or three about you.
Soon, Huzzahnians’ alphabet posts will be popping up on their blogs. I hope you’ll take time to learn their ABC’s!

Hi Mrs. Smith,
I really like the general idea of this activity! I thinks its really creative, and I’ve never seen it before. A couple of my letters would be;
I have a *dog* named Thor, and he is *excellent*. My favourite *food* is definitely chicken ceasar salad wraps. They’re just so *good*!
Anyway, are we going to be doing this this year? I hope we are.
Sincerely, Sarah
Hi Sarah,
If we don’t do this as a class, you can certainly do this as a blogger on your blog. It’s a great place to experiment with your writing.

Hello Ms. Smith
I’ve never been on a plane my sister Marisa has been on a plane she said that she almost puked when she was landing.
I’ve never seen a mason bee.
Have you ever been stung by a bee and what kind of bee was it?
I don’t think I’ve been stung by a bee unless I got stung when I was little but I don’t know I might have
I thinks it’s cool that you used every single letter a-z.
Have a great day
From Nathan
Hi Nathan,
I am really impressed with your enthusiasm for commenting! I have never been stung by a bee, but I have been stung by a wasp. Mason bees look a lot like soft fuzzy flies. The males have the cutest little white Mohawk hair! You can actually handle mason bees in your hand, they are that friendly. I hope that when you get your blog you are able to make and A-Z post too.
Happy weekend,
Ms. Smith
