Assignment+5


 * Assignment 5 - Blog**

Once I start teaching, I will mainly use my blog to keep parents informed about what I am doing in my classroom. I plan to post each week's theme, books and activities we are doing in class, and reminders for upcoming events or activities. I will also post students' homework and extra activities they can do including games and iPod/iPad applications. For now, I will use my literacy blog as a way for me to post interesting articles or educational news that I find relevant to other literacy teachers. I plan to also post lesson ideas, fun literacy games for kids, and Apple applications that can be utilized by teachers and students.

==== Another blog I really liked was Kendra's blog that keeps her students' parents informed of what their children are doing in her classroom and ways they can help support that learning at home! I love the picture of the reading skills chart and I will definitely use that in my future classroom! ====

==== I also liked Amanda's blog that deals with activities specific to the fourth grade. I loved her post and activity pages listed for creative writing! Though I am more familiar with the younger primary grades, I think this would be a great resource for older elementary students and teachers! I also love that she has included activities that students can do independently! ====
