Summertime Blogging

Even though we're not together in the four walls of our classroom, I'd still like to stay connected to everyone during the summer. I've got a few ideas how our blog can be used during the next few months...

1. Books Talks - I read LOTS of books during the summer. I'd like to post some of my book recommendations for the kids - hopefully it will give them some new titles to check out at the library or local book store.
2. Guest Bloggers - I'd love to have some guest bloggers post this summer. Maybe some students would volunteer to write a short piece about their summer? Maybe some students would like to contribute a book talk to the blog.? Maybe some students would like to write share a story or funny moment?
3. Interviews - I read several blogs that interview authors. I thought it would be fun to interview some of the students of Room 241 during the summer and post their responses. This would be a great way for us all to stay connected.
4. Book Conversations - What if we all tried to read the same book during the month of June? Not a chapter book, but just a really powerful picture book that you could check out at the library. We could all leave comments with our responses to the text - an on-line conversation!

As you can see, I'm pretty excited about continuing the conversation this summer. Please check out the blog each week - I'll work hard to keep it interesting and updated. And members of Room 241 (past and present), send me an email at ghbrown@greenville.k12.sc.us if you'd like to be interviewed or contribute a book talk or help out with the blog in any way. I look forward to hearing from you!
