Hello Mrs. Knott’s Class!

May 5, 2011 by Angie Sommer 16 Comments

No, that’s not the name of a restaurant (though maybe it should be); I’m speaking at my cousin’s 4th grade class today about blogging! First I’ll be doing a short talk about being an engineer (career day, woot!) but then I’ll be hanging out with Mrs. Knott proper and discussing my love of blogging with her awesome kiddos.

A short list of why I love blogging:

  1. It’s an informal way to practice writing, which is important in all walks of life (even as an engineer!).
  2. It’s fun to write about something you love! (I <3 food)
  3. It connects you to other people who love the same thing. If your blog gathers a following, the folks reading are probably a lot like you which is awesome — instant friends!
  4. It’s a great hobby. What else are you going to do with your spare time? May as well use your brain a bit and write!

I’m looking forward to meeting everyone; wish me luck and thanks for having me, Mrs. Knott!! 🙂

P.S.: Mrs. Knott’s class collects box tops for education and hopes to win a quarterly competition within the school for collecting the most! If you see a box top, please save it and send it to me! Email me for more info: brocandchoc@gmail.com.

Collect your box tops for Mrs. Knott’s class!

    Dear Angie,
    Thank you for coming to our classroom to tell about your blog. I really enjoyed learning and thinking of questions to ask you! I really like your title and how you thought of it. Thanks for giving our class the box tops, I really appriciate your help to our school. I liked reading your blogs, especially the jokes that you have in the beginning like how we are not a restaurant. The food you showed us looked delicious just like you said!!!!

      Hi Stephanie, I totally remember Uno from when I was a kid (I think I mentioned that when I was there)… I remember it being very yummy! I hope I can go sometime soon, I’ll have to look up where the nearest one is to my house. I hope Mrs. Knott invites me again sometime as well, I had a fun time talking with you guys!

      Hi Gayathri! Thanks for coming to my Gate talk about being an engineer, I know you had to give up part of your lunch to come. I hope it was helpful; I think you’d be a great engineer! I’m sure you’d be great at most anything you tried though. 😉 Thank you for your nice comment!
