Dear Mrs. Davis

AAAAHHHH!!! I am so excited to see my name in your blog. Thanks for putting me in it!! My writing must be really good. Yay!!!

This was the first comment I read today on my blog. It was from Chloe, a student in Gordon Brune’s fifth grade class in Mamaroneck, NY. To say that it made my day is an understatement. Chloe posted this comment 3 times so I think she was as excited as I am!

Yes, Chloe you writing is REALLY good but you are also one of the best commenters around! I always enjoy your posts and your comments to many other students.

Then my second comment was over at Podcast Playground. It came from Darren Kuropatwa. Darren is at the top of my list of bloggers who are truly making a difference with kids, so his comment put me over the top….

Anne, this is a BRILLIANT idea! It was fantastic to hear the kids describe, in their own words, how powerfully they’ve been impacted by having people from all over the world comment on their blogs. You’ve long said that one of the most powerful experiences student bloggers can have comes out of the comments left by others. The kids prove your point in their own eloquent words. Bravo! What a great podcast!

These comments make me soar! OK, I’ve just upped my “comment-a-day” goal a whole bunch! Have I mentioned lately how much I love being a part of this blogging community?
