Richardson Chapters 3 and 4

I have to admit that for the first time taking these grad classes, that I read ahead in the book!  I usually barely manage to get the required reading done on time, but this time I wanted to learn more about blogs!  I read chapter 3 last week to get more ideas of how to use blogs in my classroom.  I am excited to get one started to communicate back and forth with parents.  I also think that a blog would work well in the book clubs that we are doing in Readers' Workshop to promote discussion among the members. I had a fun time talking with a former colleague about her blog, Mrs. Glidden's 2nd Grade - News from Room 11, and got some great ideas from her too.
