Natures Wonders Part 3
"Amanda!" her mom yelled from the backyard. "Coming!" Amanda yelled back. She ran to the front door. "Follow me" her mom said. They both walked into her mom's room and sat down on the bed. "I'm going to give you permission to go into the forest" said her mom, "under one condition." Amanda kept listening. "As long as you have fun doing it" her mom said with a smile. "Thank you SO much mom!" Amanda said as she ran out the door. She ran downstairs and out the back door. She walked up to the entrance to the forest. She carefully walked in.

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?
