Commenting on blogs is an essential part of the process. It helps to create a sense of community in that it makes the blogger feel like he/she has something important to say and that others agree with him/her. Even if the comments are in disagreement with the original post, by adding your opinion in a polite, effective way, you are making the writer feel as if he/she has contributed something of value. From the given blogs about commenting I thought that writing a meaningful comment and criticize kindly were two of the most important features of commenting. It doesn’t do the writer any justice to just reply “Yeah” or “No”. You should give some feedback, whether it is positive or negative. Also, by criticizing in a non-productive way you are just doing yourself a disservice. It’s fine to disagree with someone but remember your manners and watch your tongue.
For this post, I commented on Rebecca Black’s blog post for Thing #3, Myleah Gallagher’s post for Thing #4, Tonya Haley’s post for Thing #2, Ashley Nalley’s post for Thing #6, and Reneice Glasper’s post for Thing #6.
For the two outside blogs I picked two that I found from links on Pinterest (my new favorite site!). The first one is the First Grade Parade, which you can access at http://thefirstgradeparade.blogspot.com/. This is a blog that has lots of great ideas for classroom activities and gives examples of the ones she has completed in her own classroom.
The second blog that I picked is called ObSEUSSed and can be accessed at http://www.obseussed.com/. I absolutely LOVE this blog. It is chock full of Dr. Seuss themed literacy activities, DIY crafts, and printables. It also has links to various other blogs where you can access similar things. This site has ideas for everything from One Fish, Two Fish printable placemats that you can use to practice numbers to Thing One and Thing Two paper bag puppets with templates, all the way down to Cat in the Hat themed cake pops. Did I mention I LOVE this website?!?
