My mom is a second grade teacher and my dad makes TV shows.
I love to read. My favorite book is "Fudge-a-mania" by Judy Blume and right now, I'm reading "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief." Art is also something that I love. Along with my posts, I'll also put up a couple of my favorite pictures that I've drawn and ones that I've seen in museums too.

This year, I'm also starting piano lessons because we got a piano at our house. It used to belong to my Great Grandma.

On my blog, I'll write about my life, some of favorite books and post pictures of my artwork.
I'd like to get to the know all the visitors to my gallery.
Please tell me about yourself.
Do you have a favorite hobby?
What is your favorite book?
Do you like making artwork?
Hi Mallory,
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book is Black Beauty. My hobbies are swimming, gymnastics, and ice skating.
Yes, I love making artwork! My favorite kind of artwork is drawing faces.
What is your favorite kind of artwork?
Your friend,
Grace
Dear Grace,
DeleteThank you for commenting!
I have Black Beauty at my house, but I have never read it before. It was my mom's book when she was little. I'm planning on reading it though. What is the main character's name?
My favorite kind of artwork is making landscapes. I like to draw my landscapes with chalk pastels. Have you ever drawn with chalk pastels?
Your friend,
Mallory
Hi Mallory,
DeleteThis is soooo cool! I love your blog. My favorite hobby - besides pretending to order food with Joel- is doing yoga and dancing. I'm a huge Judy Blume fan too! I've read almost every one of her books. Right now I'm reading The Cricket in Times Square by George Seldon to my students and it's slowly becoming my new favorite. I'm terrible at art, but I love THE arts and I appreciate creativity as much as Science. I can't wait to read what you post next!
Love, Natalie
Dear Mallory,
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe you got your own blog. It's easy to make your own post, but to get your own blog is hard! I'm really impressed that four of our students got their own blog.
My favorite book is Christmas at Camelot. It is a Magic Tree House Book written by Mary Pope Osborn. My favorite hobby is playing baseball and I also like alpha smarting. I would make artwork, but not for a living.
I know your brother Sean very well. I play football with him at Boys and Girls Club.
What is your favorite artwork to make? What is your favorite animal to draw?
Sincerely,
Bryce
Dear Bryce,
DeleteThanks for your comment. I cannot believe I have my own blog either!
You asked me what is my favorite artwork to make, and it is making landscapes. I also love to draw puppies. Do you like to draw puppies?
That's great that you play football with Sean. He just started playing flag football on Sundays. Do you have a favorite football team?
Sincerely,
Mallory
Dear Mallory,
DeleteMy favorite football team is the New England Patriots they are in the NFL. No, I do not like to draw puppies. What team is Sean on? Do you know what NFL stands for?
Sincerely,
Bryce
@Bryce,
DeleteSean is on the Chargers team. NFL stands for National Football League. My dad told me what it stood for.
See you at school!
Sincerely,
Mallory
Dear Mallory,
DeleteI can’t believe that your brother is on the Chargers. In the NFL the Chargers are good but not good enough to get to the Super Bowl. They play in San Diego not so far away from us. Does he play in San Diego☺? You are right NFL stands for National Football League.
See you at school.
Is Sean’s team, the Chargers, good?
Sincerely,
Bryce
Dear Mallory,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for getting your own blog! My favorite hobby is reading. My favorite book is Little Women. I love making artwork. I like to draw my family and friends. I also like to draw fairy tale things like fairies. What do you like to draw?
Warmly,
Jenna♥
@ Jenna,
DeleteThank you for commenting!
I love to read too! Though I have never read Little Women, I've heard it is a good book.
You asked me what I liked to draw. My favorite things to draw are puppies.I also like to draw fairytale things too!
What fairytale things do you like to draw?

Dear Mallory,
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing you got your own blog!
My favorite hobbies are reading, drawing, and dancing. My favorite hobby out of all of them is reading. I like reading because it helps your brain learn and builds your vocabulary.
My favorite book is Little Women. It is a very good book. I even have the book. Have you ever read Little Women?
yes, I do like making artwork. I like it because you can draw anything your mind thinks of. Also because you can become very good at it.
Are you good at making artwork?
Sincerly,
Keira
@Keira,
DeleteThanks so much for your comment. I am so excited to have my own blog.
I haven't read Little Women yet. It sounds like it's a good book because Jenna talked about it too.
I think I'm pretty good at making artwork. I hope so. Keep checking my blog because I'll be posting some of the artwork that I've created so far.
See you at school!
Sincerely,
Mallory
Dear Mollary,
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the wonderful world of blogging. I some how get the feeling that your really going to make some wonderful connections near and far.
I really love the look of your blog.
I am from Australia and have a couple of hobbies one been of course blogging and knitting as well as sewing.
I do have like making artwork as a matter of fact I love to make art with pasta.
Happy blogging Mallory and I hope to re visit real soon.
Sincerely AA.
Thank you so much for your comment. I am thrilled to have my own blog and hearing from so many people from around the world!
DeleteI have never made art with pasta, but that sounds delicious.
I hope you come back and visit my blog often!
Sincerely,
Mallory
Dear Mallory,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on earning your blog! I look forward to reading your upcoming posts.
My absolute favorite hobby is traveling. I enjoy going to new places and seeing new and different things. I love to watch people and see how people live in other parts of our country and in other parts of the world. The more I travel I see how even though people might seem different, we are all really very much alike.
Like you, I enjoy reading. I have since I was in elementary school. My mom loves to read too and when I was little, she always let me buy a book at the bookstore. I don't know if she realized it, but it made a big impression on me because she didn't always let me get new clothes or toys but she always let me buy a book. She was telling me reading was important without saying it. As Mrs. Yollis sometimes says, "actions speak louder than words."
Have you read any of the Judy Moody books? If so, did you like them?
Sincerely,
Shannon- Collin's mom
Thank you so much for your comment. I am thrilled to have my own blog! I love hearing from so many people from around the world.
DeleteI have read some of the Judy Moody, but not all of them. I enjoyed the ones that I read, though.
I hope you come back and visit my blog often!
Sincerely,
Mallory
Dear Mallory,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on earning your own blog! You should be very proud of your accomplishment. I was especially interested in your new piano. It is interesting that it has been in your family for so many years. Was your great grandmother a good player? We have 2 pianos at our home because we all play piano. It is a wonderful instrument and I wish you good luck with your lessons.
I am a parent of 2 former students of Mrs. Yollis who also earned their own blogs. It has been a fantastic experience and I hope this hobby stays with you for many years to come. I look forward to reading your future posts.
Best,
Victoria
Thank you so much for your comment. I am thrilled to have my own blog! I love hearing from so many people from around the world.
DeleteTo answer your question, I don't know if my great grandmother actually played the piano. I should ask my grandma. I can't believe you have two!
I hope you come back and visit my blog often!
Sincerely,
Mallory
Dear Mallory,
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the wonderful world of blogging! You are a hard working, conscientious student and I know you are going to enjoy blogging! Well done, Mallory!
I love the beautiful colors you've chosen for your blog and the title is perfect! I love rhyme!
The gadgets you've chosen are also terrific. I added a "Follow by Email" gadget to your sidebar. Anyone who subscribes, like I did, will get an email every time you publish a post. I invite your readers to do the same!
The next step would be to add some student bloggers and class blogs to a blog roll. I use the "List" gadget, but with your parents help, you can create one. I'll show all of you on Tuesday if you need some help.
You asked me about my hobbies. My pastime activities include walking and being with my sweet dog, Buck. I also practice yoga and enjoy gardening.
Like you, I love reading. My favorite children's book is The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles by Julie Edwards. Do you know it?
Looking forward to following your blog!
Your proud teacher,
Mrs. Y♥llis
@ Mrs. Yollis,
DeleteI am excited that I am part of the wonderful world of blogging! Thank you so much for giving me this special opportunity. Thank you for all of your help and support too.
No, I have never read the book The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles, but it sounds like a good book.
Walking, gardening, yoga, and especially spending time with Buck all sound like very fun hobbies.
Your student,
Mallory
Hi Mallory
ReplyDeleteIts great to see that you have your own blog.I love the photo of your piano and I hope that the piano lessons go well. I learned to play on a similar piano which belonged to my great Grandmother. I grew up in a little town on the NSW border of Australia. I am a teacher now, and live in Sydney.
I like creating artwork too! It's a great way to express yourself. I also enjoy keeping fit especially with friends.
I enjoy reading as well. I have just started to read ethe Deltora quest books by Emily Rodda. I am really enjoying them!
What books do you like to read?

Thank you so much for your comment. I am thrilled to have my own blog! I love hearing from so many people from around the world.
DeleteI like to read all kinds of different books. I've read almost all of the Beverly Cleary books and Bad Kitty series too.
I hope you come back and visit my blog often!
Sincerely,

Dear Mallory,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on earning your own blog. I'm a second grade teacher in Tokyo, Japan. I grew up in Pennsylvania. We had a baby grand piano in our living room when I was growing up and I learned to play the piano. I'm glad that I learned and wish I would take time to play now but I don't. I think part of my reluctance is my piano teacher was very strict and although she was an excellent pianist, I don't think she was a very good teacher. I'm sure you will have a fabulous teacher and a great learning experience. It is really wonderful to be able to play an instrument and read music.
I'm not sure what I would say is my hobby at present. I do a lot of walking along a river near my house. I enjoy seeing the flowers, trees and water fowl. We have quite a variety especially in the winter of water fowl. There are several different types of ducks, egrets, herons and cormorants. Also a kingfisher.
It is equally hard to choose a favorite book, presently we are doing an author study on Jan Brett. She is one of my favorite illustrators and authors. For adult novels I like Francine Rivers.
I love looking at art work, but I don't feel competent in making art.
Enjoy your blog. My class blog is http://makingiteducational.edublogs.org/

Congratulations on earning your blog. I am a second grade teacher in Tokyo, Japan. I grew up in Pennsylvania. I loved seeing the photo of your piano. It reminded me of the piano we had growing up. Enjoy your lessons. It is a wonderful thing to learn to play an instrument and read music.
Presently my hobby is walking. I walk along a river near my home where I can enjoy the flowers, trees and water fowl. There are several varieties of ducks, egrets, heron, and this morning I saw 3 cormorants. We even had a kingfisher that can be spotted some days.
One of my favorite children's authors is Jan Brett. My class is presently doing an author study and then we will be doing several of her stories as readers' theater performances.
I love to look at art although I am not particularly good and creating it.
Enjoy your blog. Here is my class blog: http://makingiteducational.edublogs.org/

Hi Mallory.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on earning your own blog. I am sure you have worked really hard to achieve this privilege. I enjoyed reading your first post and finding out about you. I also love reading and I have just read a fantastic book called Wonder which I am going to read to my 5/6 class when we return to school in 10 days time. I teach in Melbourne, Australia and we are still enjoying summer holidays here. I can play the piano and started learning when I was 9 years old. I learnt for about 10 years and have always loved music. I play at school quite a bit for all of our school celebrations.
Thanks for sharing with me and good luck with your new blog!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic start you have made with your individual blog. I really like how you have included photographs that relate to what you have written about. Its fantasitc to hear about the piano that you will be taking lessons on, but it was also wonderful to see a photograph of it. It looks really special because of its age and its character and I think its wonderful that something that belonged to your great grandmother you are still able to use.
Our students in New Zealand are not at school at the moment, in the Southern Hemisphere where we are its the middle of Summer so our students are on their end of year break. We start the school year in February and finish each year in December.
I have a student in my class who is obsessed (in a good way!) with Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, and has read all the rest of the books in the series. I will show her your page when she comes back and get here to leave a comment.
Have a wonderful blogging experience.

Hi Mallory,
ReplyDeleteI am a blogger too. I am a school librarian in Auckland New Zealand.
My favourite hobby is reading, but I also love to sew and make quilts.
I have lots of favourite books, at the moment my favourite is "the Spin" by Rebecca Lisle. It is published by Hot Key Press it is about flying horses that are similar to dragons and the boy who wants to fly them. Many of my students also love the Fudge books by Judy Blume!
I love creating things with fabric - I guess that is art but many people may consider this as a handicraft.
Best wishes
Alison
Thank you so much for your comment. I am thrilled to have my own blog! I love hearing from so many people from around the world.
DeleteI like making things with fabric too. I just got a sewing machine for the holidays and my grandma is teaching me how to sew. We already made a pillow for my bed.
I hope you come back and visit my blog often!

Hi Mallory. I'm reading your blog in Ireland. I live by the sea and it's a cold frosty morning here but the sun is shining. I loved the photo of your piano. I play piano and I love music. One of the very best things you can do is learn to play the piano. It will be a great friend. I also love to read and one of my favourite authors is Michael Morpurgo. Have you read any of his? He has written some amazing children's books. I have a dog called Síoda (pronounced sheoda) She is a golden Retriever and is 14 and a half years old now. I am also a teacher and we have a class blog that you might like to visit sometime kidblog.org/msokeeffesclass Well done on your blog. Hope you enjoy it

Mallory, congratulations on your new blog! My name is William Chamberlain and I teach 6th grade in Noel, Missouri. I have lots of hobbies, right now my favorite is learning to play the ukulele. I even started a ukulele club at school! I don't have a favorite book because I love so many of them. Right now I am enjoying reading The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan. I rarely make artwork now, but who knows? Maybe some day I will take it up more regularly and create a lot of things. :)

Hi Mallory,
ReplyDeleteI love that you have a blog. What a wonderful way to
learn about the world and how different your life might be if you lived in another country. I love your enthusiasm about school and how you love to learn new things.
We have been sewing together lately and I think that
you are very good at it and I love your sense of fashion. I could see you designing clothes when you get older. I learned how to sew when I was young and I still use the same sewing machine. I still sew and love how I can make something that no one else has.
I am very proud of you for all that you do and I love
you very much, my first born grandchild.
@Bubbie,
DeleteThank you for commenting.
You are such a great, fun and encouraging Bubbie. I'm very excited to learn more from you about how to use my sewing machine.
I love spending time with you.
What are we going to sew next?
See you soon.
Love,
Mallory
Hi Mallory,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on earning your blog!
I love art and creating my own artwork. My favorite medium is acrylic paint, although I also like watercolors, oil pastels, and drawing with charcoal. I have one painting on the wall of my house by the front door, while my other paintings are murals in my daughter's room. My dad has my other artwork on display in his home in California.
I look forward to seeing some of your art on your blog.
Kind regards,
Mrs. Watanabe

Hi Mallory!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on having your first blog! This is so fun. My favorite hobby is yoga. I like to go to classes, do it on my own at my house and especially like teaching it to Sarina and Gavin's classes. My favorite book is Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins. It is a grown-up book (so probably read it after you are 18) - it is about destiny. I also love creating art projects of any kind. I am happy to be a mommy because I get more chances to do art with my kids.
Good luck with your blog and can't wait to see what else you are up to!

PS - Good luck with the piano lessons! That piano looks so cool and how special that it was your great grandmother's piano!!
Mallory,
ReplyDeleteI am so very proud of you! You were an excellent student in our second grade class, and now you are excelling in third grade, also!
My hobbies are music, reading, baking, traveling, and psychology.
Harry Potter books have been my favorite series for many years - I have read them more than once!
I am not very good at creating art, however I love visiting art museums and appreciating art . Although I have visited several art museums around the world, my two favorite ones still are The Louvre and The Musee d'Orsay in Paris, France.
I am looking forward to reading your blog and am so very
glad that you were in my second grade class!
Congratulations,
Mrs. Chalfin:)
@Mrs. Chalfin,
DeleteThank you for your comment and being such an amazing 2nd grade teacher.
All of your hobbies sound very fun and exciting. I also like music, traveling and baking. My favorite thing to bake is cookies with my Bubbie (Grandma).
I also really love the Harry Potter series. My dad and I got through the first 3 books together. We have the rest and I'm sure I'll get to reading them soon.
Last time I was in New York visiting my Grampy and Grammy, I went to the Met. Have you ever been there?
Sincerely,
Mallory
Dear Mallory,
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to be visiting your blog and to have a chance to comment. My favorite part was that you love Judy Blume. She was my favorite author growing up and is now one of Jaxon's favorite authors. In fact, Jaxon has read every book that she can and wants to write to Judy Blume to ask her to write more! Wouldn't it be funny if she convinced her to do so? There would be a lot of happy girls (and moms) if there were new Judy Blume books to read!
Have you ever read the Little House on the Prairie books? I loved the books and then I loved the tv show when I was much, much younger. You may enjoy them too and we can lend you a few if you'd like to try them out.
Like Colin's mom, I was never told that I could not get a book and I think that I love reading because of that. Likewise, I try to do the same with my kids and they both LOVE to read. In fact the tooth fairy knows how much we love to read and always seems to leave books for teeth (although we hear other kids get money). Would you like to find a book under your pillow?
Thanks so much for sharing yourself through your blog.
Best,
Barbara
Dear Mallory,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy reading your blog. You are a very interesting young lady. Thank you very much for sharing yourself with us. I am just recently learning how to blog, so it is very fun being able to learn from your blog. I also love Judy Blume. I can remember reading all her books throughout elementary school. My favorite book is, The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. This is my favorite book because my life can relate to the story of the book. I too lost my dad at a very young age, just like Ronnie did in the book. Other than reading, I also enjoy being active. Playing sports is a major hobby one mine. I play tennis for my college. I enjoy playing. It helps me get through all the stress college puts on a student. I am not that much of an artist. I love artwork and I wish I was talented at doing artwork. You have a very special talent with art. I am glad to see that you really enjoy being creative. Thank you very much for sharing your blog with me. You are a very talented girl. I hope you keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
Cynthia
