2nd Grade Bloggers!!

     2nd Graders in 2W and 2B have been blogging and loving it! We are using a platform called kidblogs that is free and very easy to use. Students login with a code, create a username and password and off they go! kidblogs is a closed system, so these blogs cannot be viewed by the general public. All posts and comments are moderated by me. This creates a safe and secure online platform for students to write, post photos and comment on others posts. Having this digital presence is very motivating for these students. Many students even blog from home just for fun!

      I can already see that they have become good typers, way before formal typing instruction begins! They are also practicing digital citizenship, an important skill they will need in later years.

If you are a second grade parent and would like to have a look at our blog, please let me know and I will provide a code for you to login with.

Craft Time in the LMC!

SES students in grades 4,5 and 6 can choose to join a fun recess time craft groupon Thursdays run by myself and Heather Richards from the Sunderland Public Library. The goal of the group is to encourage SES kids to visit the Sunderland Public Library. We have been making book related crafts out of fun, colorful duct tape!

See the many wonderful offerings at the Sunderland Public Library
