The Four Elements: Welcome home, Jay
Ariel squinted her eyes. She saw a homely town ahead. Must be Jay's home. She thought to herself. But he can't stay here for long. They had to cut through Jay's home to Mount Makoniji, which was where the Wind would be held. In the corner of Ariel's eye, she spotted Jay smiling. Lorandia was close ahead. They were also there to find Pondorans, which were the guardians of Horonza, Silvia and Borne. A crowd was close up front. The sun shone through Ariel's eyes as she squinted even harder. A cheer rose up. What the heck is going on? Ariel thought, squinting harder than ever. Finally, they reached the village. A cheer rose as they came. Ariel wondered what was going on. Suddenly, it hit her like someone splashing cold water on top of her: This is Jay's home. And Jay has come back from like, Ariel thought about thisAriel squinted her eyes.

And Jay has come back from like, Ariel thought about this. 2,3 months? Everyone smiled as the village greeted them, the Legendary Four Elements. Even Jay's father was there, in stunning robes in the shade of turquoise. Jay's mother was on his side, in a pale blue dress, which reminded Ariel of her powers, not Jay's. "Welcome home Jay." His mother said with a warm smile.

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?
