Format of Our Blog

Dear Mrs. Crozzoli's Fifth Grade Class,

Thank you for writing three posts to me already! I am thrilled that you are participating in what will be a great dialogue.

Let me take a moment to emphasize that it is important to spell check and re-read your work before you post a blog. You may even want to review your post two or more times to make sure that your ideas are written in a way that makes the most sense.

Regarding the format of this blog:

I will create a new post to respond to each student's questions. I will try my best to answer your questions in the order they were received and as quickly as possible. I may also post to the entire class once in a while when I have exciting news to share.

Speaking of exciting news, tomorrow will begin the first day of Power Soccer Team USA Training Camp #2! If you have been following along with power soccer, the United States will compete in the World Cup competition in October 2011. Twelve (12) power soccer athletes were chosen to be a part of the 2011 Team USA to defend the United States' World Championship title, which was won at the 2007 World Cup!

I am so excited to see my teammates again, who live all over the country. We practice by ourselves each week. Every three months, we travel together to train for three days. Our practices are intense since we don't see each other often; and I will be at the gym from 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. each day. At 5 P.M. we have dinner together and then have meetings and team building activities at the hotel we stay at until 10 P.M. Since I will be at this training on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday this week, I will not be able to respond to any new posts until Monday. I will try my best to make photos and share with you fun stories of my training camp.
