Welcome to Kidblog.org.
This will be our classroom blog for the school year. Part of your weekly homework is that you must make a blog post every week to the classroom blog. You will see a reminder of this on Wednesdays on the Google Homework Calendar. Your blog post must be at least 300 characters long.
The best part of this assignment is that you can blog about anything you want! As long as it is school appropriate, the sky is the limit!
In addition, you will be required to comment on 3 different classmate's posts each week. These responses must be substantial and also school appropriate. A simple "Yes", "I love it", or "Awesome blog post" is not considered substantial. Please make sure to comment on different students each week. Do not keep commenting on the same 3-5 friends in the classroom. This is not how a blog works. You should make an effort to respond to all students in our classroom throughout the year.
Your initial blog post is due by Thursday morning, each week. You will have until the following Monday morning to respond to 3 classmates. It is important to make sure that you post on time because your blog post will be time stamped. If you do not post on time, you will not receive credit. If you stay organized, posting should be a breeze. You will have Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday to make your initial blog post. Then you only need to respond to one blog post Thursday, one Friday, and one on Saturday or Sunday and you're done! If you want, you can respond to 3 blog posts on one night so you do not need to worry about it again until the next week.
I know that once you get into it, you're going to love it. You can share awesome websites with friends, talk about your weekends, share special events, or talk about something you're passionate about!

I hope you have fun using Kidblog.org!
