Classroom blogs

As we begin blogging in our classroom I would like to share a few reminders about posting comments. We strongly encourage people to comment on student blogs.  It shows students that they are writing for an audience and that their work is important to people.  We do our best to reply to comments and continue the conversation, but please be patient with us as we are learning to blog. 

When commenting we ask that you do not add any last names of students or your own last name.  This is the best policy in regards to student privacy and safety.  You can refer to yourself as Mom, Dad, or Grandma, and even Grandpa from Saskatoon, but please don't refer to last names.

We also strongly encourage you to use best spelling, punctuation, and grammar practices when submitting comments. We use comments and blog posts as a learning tool, so we ask that you do your best to capitalize, use punctuation etc. when submitting. 

Thank you!
