Student Blogs 2015-2016

The new school year has well underway and this year's 4th grade students have begun their blogs.  Please take time to read them and post them on social media.  Feel free to make comments as well!

Please use the links located at the right to access student blogs.

Today the students of Emanuel Lutheran's 4th grade class wrote poems inspired by the work of William Carlos Williams. We finished reading Love That Dog by Sharon Creech, in which Creech references Williams' poem "The Red Wheelbarrow". The class then wrote their own poems. These are just a few of the amazing poems that were written. Great Job 4th Grade!

We Did it!

We finally did it!  Today we published our first blog posts.  Although we were all very excited, some students were also a little nervous, but I assured them that even though their posts were published, they still had control of their work and can add and change the posts at anytime. Now of course is the more difficult task of getting people to read our blogs.  This is where friends, family and cyber-friends will need to help us out.  I encourage you to like, post, tweet, and share our blogs as often as you can.  Take time to read and comment yourself as well.  Sign up for email updates so you don't miss anything.  I am anxious to see how far and wide their voices can be heard!

You can find links to each student blog listed on the right.  Please read them all and share...share...share

Student Blogs

Any day now our student blogs will be published for the first time!  We are all very excited about publishing our first blog posts.  Some of the students even have more than one post ready for publication.  We are waiting for everyone to be done writing before we hit "publish".  This way, no one is the first nor the last to publish.  I encourage anyone and everyone to read and comment on the blogs once they are published.  We are very excited to see how far our "voice" can be heard!
