Activity 1: Communication

I feel that a blog could be useful in my classroom as a means of communication with families and for students to follow as well.  It would be great if our whole team was doing the same types of blogs and sending the same messages out so that more parents are connected to what we do in the classroom.  It is interesting to follow the blogs of others and it would be fun to follow blogs that the kids would be interested in such as authors, illustrators, Bill Nye, etc. I would like to investigate http://kidblog.org/home/  further to see what this site has to offer for kids, teachers, and families.
