KidBlog
Our class recently started their own blog site through http://www.kidblog.org/. You can visit our class site here. Each student has a password to log in which has already been sent home. If you would like another copy, please let me know. The students have already written about 40 blog entries in one week. We are using the site as a place to journal personal narratives, to write critically about recently taught concepts, and to write affirmations to one another. Writing affirmations is a part of the Capruring Kids' Hearts program we use district wide. Parents, feel free to leave your child comments in their blog entries; please leave your name if you do. The comments are moderated before posting so you may not see it appear immediately. I encourage you to let your child blog at home through this site as it helps with their writing and spelling as well as giving them an opportunity to show what they know.

I too have a student blog. The kids have a password through blogspot. Another teacher at my school has kidblog and I like how it seperates and identifies the author. I looped with my kids and had the kids begin their blog in 2009. It has been fun to watch them develop over time. We recently went back and read their post from a year ago in the persuasive genre and the kids could hardly believe the post. Funny.
