Welcome to Mrs. Porter's First Grade Class

  Welcome to Mrs. Porter's First Grade Class!

 Why do we have a classroom blog?

• When students publish their work for an audience beyond their teacher it increases their engagement and motivation.

• I believe that through maintaining our classroom blog students have the opportunity to learn about appropriate online behavior in an authentic and supervised setting.

• We can foster a strong home-school relationship, and provide a virtual window to the classroom.

Internet Safety:Internet safety is extremely important to me! I will be adhering to the following guidelines to ensure the safety of our students, and ask that you do the same. 

What will be included on the blog:

    1. Student's first names, work samples, and videos. 

    2. Student's last names, addresses, emails, date or birth, or other personal information WILL NOT be included on the blog. 

Comments:

• Students, their families are encouraged to comment on the blog. 

• All comments will be approved by Mrs. Porter before they are included on our classroom blog. 

• Parents who leave comments are encouraged to use their first name only and their child's first name, for example: John - Sally's dad. 

• All comments must be polite, respectful and courteous. 

• Parent's are asked to proofread comments that students write at home. 

I ask all members of our community to please let me know if they feel like any of our guidelines have been breached, or if they have any further questions.
