This blog is to keep students and parents aware of what's going on in our classroom. In addition to posting daily activities and homework, I will also be posting extra activities and links for parents and students to explore at home. Learning isn't just for school you know. :) My hope is that through this blog, students and parents will extend their learning, make extra connections, and become life long learners. Please feel free to leave comments when ever/where ever you need to. I hope you enjoy this wonderful ride we call a school year with me.

Parents:
As you will see through out the year, I will always try and keep you informed as to WHY I do certain things. Here is my first chance to give you a reason: why am I blogging for your student's elementary classroom? I'd like to share with you this interesting article about the importance and benefits of blogging for/in a classroom. This article explains how blogs help students learn to navigate technology that will be essential for them to know and understand as they grow into adults. The article also includes the importance of comments, and includes comment starters for parents and students. It has helpful hints/tips for students who want to start their own blogs, and has links to outstanding class blogs.
