I like the idea of a class blog as well. I have a class site, but don't get very many visitors, maybe if the kids were writing the entries...hmmmm. Now you have me thinking! :) Thank you for your ideas!Miss Trayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994698870486768685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8708538586034027731.post-49940839244532614612012-06-07T10:19:23.266-07:002012-06-07T10:19:23.266-07:00I love your idea involving Mr./Mrs. Potato Head! ...I love your idea involving Mr./Mrs. Potato Head! Last year, we collected "cupcakes" (cut from a border strip) on a "plate" (round, sprinkle paper from Archivers); I put them on a small bulletin board. This year, I need to get the other teachers on board with giving compliments to the kinders. Not all of the specials teachers would do it.<br /><br />Parent involvement... I have a separate blog for my class. The link is on every newsletter and under my signature on every email. Today's parents are tech-savvy and seem to want their info presented in an easy-to-access way. But, at the end of the year, I still had parents who had not seen the website. No wonder their children didn't know our memory verses, lol!Chrissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841483739221560253noreply@blogger.com
