We have officially started using Kid Blog in the classroom. Kid Blog is now included as part of our Daily 5 (Now "Daily 6" Rotation!). Students are so excited to write their own posts and leave positive feedback on their classmates writing.We already have 27 student posts on the blog and too many encouraging comments to even count! The classroom has been buzzing with students talking about their writing and their plans for the next blog post. I'm thrilled to see students so excited about writing and can't wait to see what they do next!
All posts and comments are approved by Mrs. Cameron before appearing on the blog. Students are encouraged to work on their writing for Kid Blog at home and parents/family members can visit their child's blog by signing in using the "Guest" account (password is gms). Don't forget to sign your name if you comment so we can see who has "stopped by" our blogs! Happy blogging!
If Kids Ruled The World...
One of our read alouds this week, a Willow Award nominee book called "If Kids Ruled the World by Lina Bailey has inspired us to create our own classroom book. The students were both the authors and illustrators of their own page, describing what life would be like if kids ruled the world! We had a lot of fun imagining all of the possibilities.
Fall Art
We have been painting up a storm this week, creating a beautiful fall Saskatchewan landscape! I can't wait to see the finished product - stay tuned!
