Welcome

Welcome to First Grade!

Why does a first grade class need a blog? Regular classroom sites only allow parents and students read information. Blogs allow communication between parents, teachers and students. At the end of every post you will find a button which allows you, the reader, to post comments or ask questions. On a regular website a parent could check the weekly homework, note the date of Back To School Night, and view the drawing their child created in the computer lab. On a blog a parent can ask questions about the homework (and get answers by email), give input on what they hope to learn at Back To School Night, and write praises regarding their child's work. Blogs are "better" because they allow all of us to create, question, and build a better learning experience!
