Once upon a time there lived a beautiful princess named Adelline. Her mother, Queen Gabrielle, and her father, King Martin, called her Addie most of the time. When they had guests everyone called her Princess Adelline.
One evening Addie and her little kitty-cat, named Precious, were looking out her bedroom window on the sevententh floor of their castle, and she saw a carrige drive over the grand bridge coming toward the castle. Addie picked up the castle moniter, that connects to the moniters in every room in the house, and said, "Father, father, someone's passing over the grand bridge." King Martin picked up the moniter in one of his many studies, and said,"I know darling, I know." " Who is it?" blurted Addie. No one answered the moniter. Addie says, "Hello, father?"
Addie walked to the purr-fectly purple kitty-cat elevator, sat Precious on the floor, and pushed the ground floor button. Then she walked over to the big golden elevator and pushed ground floor button there too. Once she picked Precious off the floor of the purr-fectly purple kitty-cat elevator, she walked over to the grand front door of the castle and saw her father's cousin Elanor.

The Art and Aspirations of a Commenter
I believe in the power of a free exchange of ideas. I also recognize that words or access to
some information can be of harm to others, intentionally or unintentionally. As a
commenter, I therefore aspire to participate responsibly in the great online conversation
by:
* treating all bloggers with respect.
* seeking first to understand what is being said.
* celebrating another's accomplishments.
* using school appropriate language.
* rephrasing ideas in the blog that made me think, made me feel, or helped me learn
to let the blogger know his/her voice has been heard.
* commenting specifically and positively, without criticism. If I disagree, I will
comment appropriately, politely stating my perspective.
* being mindful always that I may be a role model to my audience, especially if they
are younger than I.
* making no reference to, link to, and/or giving access to any information that may
be inappropriate for a school setting.
* asking at least one question in my comment with the hopes of continuing a
conversation and deepening thinking.
* using a triple check before submitting any comment: Would I be happy to have my
mother read this comment? My grandmother? My favorite teacher?
