If you are reading this for the first time, please scroll to the bottom now and start reading from the first day, June 7th. Everything will make more sense to you if you do this.

I have my settings set to only people who register can leave comments, I did this to cut down on people leaving inappropriate comments (i.e. kids trying to be funny).

Posting for Next Year

Next year, Mrs. Davis is going to request that each of you make an entry to your blog at least once a week. I thought you would like a heads up so that you could be thinking about how you would organize yours. Hopefully, you have taken the tour on the site I provided yesterday. I am sure some of you have already set up a site. If you have, would you please send me the link. And in case you didn't put my blog link in your favorites...here it is again... http://tomlinsonk.blogspot.com

Now, I am going to pretend that I am posting a homework assignment so that parents and students can access it from any computer that is connected to the Internet. I am going to put this posting under the label/category of "homework".

Science- Read pages 34-46. Answer questions on page 46.
Spelling- Use all words in sentences.
Math- Study for Tuesday's exam on Chapter 6

That is all you would have to post. It is as simple as that and only takes a few moments. Parents can stay informed and you have provided another documented source of communication.

Hello

Yesterday, my principal called and asked me to familiarize myself with blogging. So, being the good little doobie that I am, I started researching things... yesterday. I have used this free website to demonstrate how things could be communicated. Tomorrow I will write more. I am attaching an image of Sarah Wilder and I (since I have been taking care of her while Esther is in El Salvador) to show you how easy it would be to attach photos stored on your computer from your digital camera or just getting one somewhere off of the Internet. You can use blogs to inform parents of homework, classwork, special projects, and to share things such as field trips. You may think of the many categories you would want to organize your blog with ahead of time. If you haven't done so yet, make sure you take the tour explaining everything about blogs at https://www.blogger.com/start It's free. That is the site I used to build this blog.
