Hot off the PRESS!

Calling all Parents, Friends and Family members of third graders in Mrs. Ford & Mrs. Skrivanek’s classes,

Your students are bloggers!  Yes, we know that they can access our class blog.  Yes, most of them have posted their homework on the reading blog.  Now, they are AUTHORS of a new blog called THIRD GRADE THOUGHTS! 

Each week, 2-3 students will work on Wednesdays to keep you in the loop about what excites them during the school day.  I’ve set up a rotating system so that each kid will get to be an author twice before the school year ends.

Being a published author is a pretty cool adventure.  What makes blogging even more fun is when you realize that it connects you to readers everywhere.  It’s important for them to learn now that people are reading what they write and care about what they have to say.  I need your help in making this new adventure the best it can be.  When you have time, please read their blog and leave a comment in the comment section so the kids can get some feedback from their biggest fans. 

To read and leave a comment:
·         Click on the heading of the post you wish to comment on
·         Scroll down until you can see the “Leave a Comment” section
·         You can leave yoru comment in the white box.
·         You will be asked for your name (you can use a nickname). Email is optional.  Family members who leave comments, please only use the first name of your third grader.
·         You will have to enter the “anti-spam” word
·         Click “submit comment”
·         Your comment should appear.  I will get an email of comments for moderation.

As always, thank you for the time you give to help make your kids the best they can be!

Omi Ford
