Blogging with Pen Pals

This week our class started blogging with pen pals in Mrs. P's class in Essex, which is one of the classes involved in our Quad Blog project (see an earlier post for more information on the Quad Blog)! Students in our class and students in Mrs. P's class all have their own Kid Blogs and have been practicing using them for about a month now. The list of student blogs for our class can be found on the right side bar of this blog. Just click on your child's name, read their posts, and have fun leaving comments!

This week Mrs. P and I launched our blog pen pal exchange! Students in our two classes were paired up, our classes met through Skype so that students could meet their partner, then the students began blogging to one another as pen pals. We are learning to do this in class but it would be wonderful if kids blogged with their pen pals at home too! Below is a list of the names of partners, in case your child needs a reminder (since these are very new partnerships).
