In order to earn the summer incentive award, students must blog at least 15 times throughout the summer with postings in at least 2 of the 3 months: June, July, and August. The entries must be at least 5 sentences long, written in complete sentences, and follow capitalization and punctuation rules.
To post a comment, click on the title of a post to view the comment box. Once the entry is typed, choose Name/URL from the "Comment As" drop down menu. Type your first name and last initial, then click continue, leaving URL blank. You will be prompted to type a series of numbers and letters. Once that is complete, your blog entry will be emailed to me. I will approve it for posting and it will appear the next day.
Students may respond to the same question more than once.
Please contact me if you experience difficulties!

Fourth of July celebrates the agreement of the Declaration of Independence, when the U.S.A. was born. 1870 was the year they declared 4th of July a national holiday.
ReplyDelete4th of July is also known as Independence Day. Fireworks are a tradition because of John Adams. He wrote a letter to his wife in 1776 saying that he wanted 4th of July to be celebrated with fireworks and we have been doing so since 1777. Across the country Americans eat about 155,000,000 hot dogs on the 4th of July as they watch traditional parades and firework displays.
