I’ve had this project for a long time now, and i’m trying now to find some time to go through with it. i’m planning to invite Ss from 1st grade to 4th grade and create a page for each grade. I’ve already created one for the 4th graders, because i’m going to test the blog with them, before i move on to the others. still don’t know exactly what to do other than post their work here and some online exercises. I really hope to learn a lot from all you guys at blogging4eds on how to make this a really interactive experience for the kids. my dream is that they can come here and feel that they also ‘run the show’… i’m thinking of adding a password to each page (all but this one) so I can post pictures of classroom activities and stuff and not worry about privacy.
There’s still a lot of tyding to do here, i know.. it’s a bit messy. But i hope i can make it work.

Hi Ani,
What a nice template!!! It’s quite appealing!
Are you a Primary English teacher? Well, at least you teach young learners like I do and aren’t they something?
I’d just like to say that I’ve also created a blog for my young learners (www.abcgo.wordpress.com)and at the time I thought it would only work to post pictures of the work done in the classroom. Now, I know that a blog has many other purposes that can also be useful in primary teaching! However I’m not sure about the kids running the show, especially the 1st graders… nevertheless I hope to see how you manage and maybe I change opinion
All the best,
Patricia Soares

I am so happy to see that you are moving forward and making your dream for this project happen. I agree with Pat; the template you have chosen is beautiful and you have added a few useful widgets and links already. Keep exploring and trying new things, and we’ll be looking forward to seeing how you use this blog with your students!

Ok “newbie”–it looks GORGEOUS and really well organized and neat!!! (check out my own struggling mess at: http://webgina.edublogs.org)...
I’ve got older learners, so I’m curious to see how you’ll get the site to work for the younger kids–but I’ve no doubt that you will!!! Maybe all comments have to go through you as the moderator so that you can control/edit as necessary?
I’ll check back later….

WOW!
Well done.
It doesn’t seem like a newbie blog to me. This is a really nice blogging space. I just love it. The graphics are gorgeous and the blog’s clean look is great.
I hope you will have a lot of interesting blogging adventures here.
Now it is all about exploring the blogging possibilities and start posting.
To draw other people’s attention about this cool spot you created for yourself here, I would comment on other people’s blogs too. That is the way networks start to take shape and the conversation develops.
Once again: WOW!
I just love it.
Congrats.
You do know how to put a blog together!
It is fantastic!

Hi Anna,
this is a very cool blog and I’m sure your students will be very excited about the whole project. Kids are usually far more willing to try and enjoy these tools than adults, so I’m sure you will soon have see some very interesting results in cyberspace.
I loved the header and the whole graphic part of your blog: it’s fun but clean at the same time, which is something I really like.
Congratulations and keep blogging!
Um abraço,

Hello Ani
Your blogs looks great and the heading is just beautiful!
At the school I work most of our students are kids and teens. I have already had great blogging experiences with teenagers, but I really never tried it with the kids, but I’m sure they have the same skills to blog. I can say that because I have a 9-year-old boy and he is totally familiar with internet tools, like emails, youtube, skype, games and msn, so why not blogging? I’ve never tried blogging with the kids at my school because of their language level, but if we keep things simple and teach them how, they will love it!
Best wishes!
