educational blog

This week, I am exploring the idea of using a blog in my classroom. I think that since I currently teach 1st grade, I would use a blog as a way to showcase their work, like an talking bulletin board. Why should I do this? What purpose would this serve? Well for one, I believe it would do a lot for the self confidence of my students. They will gain much needed knowledge in oral communication if they have to read in front of the camera. I would love some suggestions on how to differentiate instruction for some of my struggling students using blogs.

I’ve gotten over a bit of the apprehension to sub, but not completely.  I’ve applied to sub at a district close to me.  I’ll see how that goes and perhaps apply to sub at more districts later.  I’ve also continued to apply for open positions in Seattle.  I’ll keep you all posted on how that goes.
