I was always a little apprehensive to start a blog, but it really was easier then expected. It would be fun to have students start a blog at the beginning of the year and see how it develops throughout the year. I also now feel more comfortable starting my own blog for parent communication.
My students are often surprised at how easy it is to set up a blog, Molly! I always utilized one when I taught 3rd and 4th grade. My students and parents loved it!
