(Heidi teaches a kindergarten class in La Verne, California and has been blogging since 2008). “Sometimes I tell them I want to take their picture so that I can put it on my website, but that’s about it. I do get permission from their parents to put their pictures or video clips on my website.” Recommended posts: “ What’s Working: Week Seven ” and “ Get Ready For The Holidays! – Week 14 .” ** Kinder Clips ** – This classroom blog is full of educational resources such as reading materials, video games, as well as math exercises for kindergarteners and/or kindergarten teachers. Recommended posts: “ Counting Backwards! ” and “Z,Z,Zebras! ” **Lil’ Country Kindergarten** – “Lil’ Country Kindergarten is a website devoted to early childhood educators,” writes Marlana Howerton, a Kindergarten teacher who also works as a contributing writer for the Mailbox magazine. “This site was developed to assist teachers in finding resources quickly and inexpensively.” Some of the many categories on this blog include “ Kindergarten Handbook ,” “ Teacher Resources ,” and “ Word Wall Activities .” Recommended posts: “ Oceans in December ” and “ Printable Reading Chart .” ** Mrs. Pearce’s “I Can, You Can, Toucan” Classroom ** – Although her students do not participate in the blogging process because of their age, “they do inspire every single post!” writes Jan Pearce. Mrs. Pearce’s kindergarten class is from Crawfordville, Florida, and she has been blogging for the past four months. Recommended posts: “ I is for Ice Cream ” and “ T is for…….a Terrific Time with our Teddies! ” ** Mrs. Poulin’s Blog ** – Gail Poulin is a kindergarten teacher who lives in Southampton, Massachusetts, and has been blogging in her classroom for three years. “In the spring, I will introduce the students to Kidblog.org,” she stated. “They will write a few very simple posts. The blogs will only be shared with the parents in the class. My purpose is to apply the writing skills they have been working on in class, to use a keyboard to write their text, to open their writing up to a review by ‘friendly’ readers, and to write for a new purpose.” Recommended posts: “ Our Own Hero – Lance Corporal Brett Bergeron! ” and “ New VoiceThread Project! ” ** Under the Apple Tree ** – Janet Dickens has been blogging for the past five years, and although her students don’t participate in the blogging process because of their age, their daily activities are documented on the blog so their parents can check out their progress. Recommended posts: “ Nov. Book It Club ” and “ The Pumpkin Patch .”
