Kid Blogs

Today was the most exciting day of 1st grade by far! Everyone started their very own blogs by uploading a self portrait that they made way back in September and then commented on others self portraits. The number of clicks that this took seemed like an impossible number when we began learning how earlier in the week. At the request of several children a list of just what each click needed to be was created . . . never say young children can't follow a complicated series of steps if the end result is motivating!

My Blog
Writing comments was a breeze after all these steps! Please take the time to check out your child's blog with them and let them show you how it's done. There link is located on the sidebar and will remain there throughout the school year. You may comment on posts by logging in as a parent. Once on the blog click parent from the list of names on the right and enter parent as the user name and password. As the administrator I must approve all comments prior to them posting live to the internet so you won't see them immediately. Have Fun!
