Parents, Family & Friends...What Do You Think About Forest 14?

Let's try something different today!

Since social media is becoming increasingly common and an accepted form of writing, it is important to teach students how to use it properly.  Forest 14 was created mainly for students to formulate and voice their opinions on a variety of topics using proper etiquette.  It is hoped that these skills will help them become well-mannered and respectable individuals on any form of social media in the future.

One of the goals of Forest 14 has always been to involve parents, family and friends.  In the past there have been many parents who have contributed their opinions on our topics.

Can we get your involvement again with this topic?  In fact, we only want the opinions of parents, family and friends tonight.

What are your thoughts or opinions about exposing elementary students to social media, particularly blog writing?  Do you think it's too early?  Should we be focusing on other things?  Do you participate in any form of social media?  Feel free to share your opinions.

As all of our students know, everyone can state an opinion respectfully and for the sake of safety, use a screen name to maintain anonymity.  (You can use your child's screen name and put "parent of ....")

Thank you for your contribution to your child's learning.

Sports

I love sports because I really like to be active, and in my free time I like to play with others in a team. I play soccer almost every day. I play at recess and I play on a German team as a forward. Our team won gold in a tournament. I play both indoor and outdoor soccer. The indoor soccer season is over and I am already playing outside. My team is called Werder Bremen.

But in the winter I play hockey most of the time. I play on the tarmac and during intramurals. I played for the Wasabi Nuggets and we got to play the teachers in the final. We lost 5-4. It was a fun game.

I like sports because I am an athlete, and I like to run and kick a ball around.

What do you like to play in the winter and in the summer? Do you like other sports too, like:

1.snowboarding or skiing.

2.floor hockey.

3.basketball.

4.baseball.

5.football.

My favorite sports are soccer  hockey and snowboarding. Do you have a favorite sport?, If not then what would it be and why is it your favorite sport? Are you even a person that likes sports? If you don’t like sports what else do you do for a hobby in your free time?  Do you have another sport you would like to share with me? It does not have to be your favorite sport. It can be any sport you like.

What is your favorite sport and why? Do you like sports?
