Kidblog update

We've been blogging for several weeks, and students are doing a great job and are able to navigate the site independently (for the most part).  SO - we have decided that students are ready to access the blog from home to read and post comments (comments only, no new posts for now) if they wish.  PARENTS (and other family members) are also now able to leave comments on student posts.  Read on to learn more . . .

• We have added a "Guest" login feature to our blog.  Parents/friends/family members are welcome to log in as Guest (listed as the last choice in the login menu), and use the password "123" to leave comments on the blog.  As with all entries, a teacher will need to approve any comments made by a guest before they will appear on the blog site.  (It may be several hours before this happens if you post in the evening.)

• To find your child's blog posts, you can either scroll through the list of post titles (there are several pages of posts already!), or find his/her name in the list in the directory at the right and click on it to take you to only your child's posts.

• Students are now allowed to leave COMMENTS outside of class time, but should not post new blog posts.

• As always, all comments should be written in the form of complete sentences, related to the post, and should be helpful and kind.  Comments not meeting our criteria will not be published.

Remember, you can always access our kidblog site by clicking on the kidblog tab at the top of our KE Third Grade blog.
