Dear students,
What exactly is a blog, and why are we using it in 4th grade?
We will use the blog to communicate about different things we discuss in class. Our online post will extend our conversations from class, and allow us to see what other classmates are thinking as well.
We will use the blog for many different things. Often I will write a post, and you will be asked to respond to it for homework. For example, we might post about different reading strategies, or use it to respond to poetry in the spring. However, this year I would also love to have students write a blog post, and classmates can respond to their post.
Today, I am interested in your thoughts about the blog. Please answer the following questions:
1. What excites you about the blog?
2. What questions do you have about the blog?
3. What ideas do you have for future blog posts or using the blog?
I look forward to reading your first blog response!

I have one question, I am wondering will the blog be just academic or will we be able to talk to you and our friends?
I think every Friday you should send out a brain teaser and we we should reply to it over the weekend and by the beginning of every week we should answer it, and you announce who got it right.
Dear Ms.Sikes
1. That we have a blog so we can have a little bit of technolgy in our homework.
