@Mrs Cunningham Thanks for the link to your class blog. Love the photos of the students in the header. Looks like your students are doing well.

@ Sue, thanks Sue it really means a lot since i was a blogging virgin in May of this year I have come a long way since then with your help.
My school blog is

The children want their pictures in the header and the avatar and now they all want their own blogs…from small acorns….

@Mrs Cunningham I love the idea of the students contributing to the About page by writing comments on the page. Can you share a link so other educators can check out how you have done this?

I’ve visited your http://year2writers.wikispaces.com/ – the kids are writing really well and are obviously enjoying it. You and the parents must be so proud of them.

@Murcha As a parent I would be really pleased if my sons did activities like this at school and wouldn’t care about the spelling. As both you and Mrs Cunningham point out as a parent this means you can interact with your child more and watch together their progress.

@Murcha
at first I thought it would be all consuming but actually the childrens own interest and enthusiasm for the blogging has made it all worthwhile. If you would like to read what they have written so far you can find them here…please remember they have only been back at school for 5 weeks….

@Mrs Cunningham, this comment is in respones to your comment. I love the idea of having the 6 year olds comment back on the blog as their way of contribution. The editing feature gives protection for them, but they can still see their work online once it is approved. I am going to try that at our school.
So far it is the teachers who put the comments up for them and not the students themselves. I am also of your mind, in that student work goes up, spelt to the best of their ability. Complaints are still made by parents re the spelling mistakes but that is how their students write and hopefully over time improvements can be made with their proofreading ability.
We are starting a morning coffee with all interested parents on Wed morning and hope that this will become a monthly feature. They will be encouraged to contribute via comments and I will try and get them to add their idea of what should be on the ‘about me’ page……. then to find time and add it all!!!
