Happy blog commenting Waka Stride.  We are part of a World Wide Blogging Team.  Remember it is a challenge to make many constructive blog comments and see if they are published, but your comment is...

Seen by the WORLD - full sentences, correct spelling and punctuation

Words should be kind - encourage people in their learning

Keeping you safe - never share your information like phone numbers, last name or address

Check before you click - you can't fix mistakes once it is sent

You could use these starters for a change:

• This made me think about…
• I wonder why…
• Your writing has made me think we should…
• I wish I understood why…
• This is important because…
• I can relate to this because…
• Another think to consider is…
• I don't understand…
• I was reminded that…
• I found myself wondering…
