My name is Rocio and I think roses are beautiful because when you smell them they smell so pretty that I feel like eating it.I also think that every bee likes to get on top of the roses .Roses can be different colors for example red,white,yellow, and pink and also red I love roses when I was in Mexico I had a garden with lots of roses on the trees some were white,pink,and red and every time I go outside and watered the flowers and when I went to church they are alot of different kind of flowers they have and we could pick them out and the ones that I always picked out were roses and take them inside the Church and at last you put them on a cup and lay them right beside the table and when they get ugly they throw them away so they won`t smell that bad inside the church and the next time you go you get more flowers to put on the cup but then beside the table you could put them in the place that you want I love Mexico! And I wish one day you get to go to Mexico.I picked Rocio`s roses with flying bees because I love how roses smell and how pretty they are.
Hi Rocio,
Wow! I love your descriptions of flowers. I can almost smell them myself - your writing certainly made me make some pretty pictures in my head. Mexico sounds beautiful, too. Were you born there? I hope I get to visit it one day. If you could visit another place, where would you pick and why?

I also love your description of roses. So vivid and so real! I especially enjoyed what you saw around your church. Your opening sentences really captured me.
Do you know how to make paragraph breaks so that we can read the text with more flow? Then you can also show you have a beginning, middle and end.

Wow Rocio! I am so impressed with your descriptive words and details. I felt like I was in Mexico picking out the beautiful roses and placing them inside the church.
I hope I get a chance to visit Mexico one day too. I bet it is a beautiful place with all those flowers.
Tell me more about Mexico. Is it hot there? What are the schools like? Do you have lots of relatives that still live in Mexico? Are the stores (Wal-Mart, malls, etc) similar to the stores in the United States?

Hi Rocio,
You did a terrific job on your first post! I could almost smell the roses you described. I know it can be hard to grow roses because they need special care. Are you going to try to grow roses where you live now?
I love flowers, too. My mother had beautiful gardens when I was growing up, though we only had a few small roses. My favorite flowers are gladiolus, day lillies, and poppies. Do you like them, too?

Mrs.Meeler,
It was really hot in Mexico each time you went outside you can get sunburn,the schools are like old and if it's time for lunch you have to go to a small place you can find and your parents had to take your food to school,I don't have that much realitives on mexico no more because almost all of them are coming here,the stores are not that different but there names are the ones that are really different and if you go to stores you have to be there before the bus that takes you home leaves and outside you would find alot of people selling things such as fruit and exetera and thank you for posting to my blog.

I found your observations on the schools really amazing, and also the relatives who come to America. I also really enjoyed reading about the shops and the street stalls. Mexico sounds like a really nice place to visit and live.
