The first blog I found was made by a teacher in Manchester, UK. He teaches year 2 students (6-7 year olds). His blog is mostly for the students. He posts questions and pictures and asks for their comments, he also posts homework assignments. To encourage kids to take up blogging he gives out weekly blogging awards. He also posted links to math games that dealt with the concepts he would be teaching in class. Of course he also keeps in contact with parents on the site by putting up pictures from class and explaining special projects the class did. Here is a link to the blog: Mr. Sloan's Year 2 Blog.
The second Blog I found was created by a Primary school teacher in Ireland. She uses the blog to talk about what projects the class did. She posts a bunch of pictures of the students' finished products. She even has a special page for parents to go to where she has listed important upcoming dates. One of the entries said how she showed the students an internet safety video. I think this is important, she is preparing the students to get on the internet and view her blog. Here is a link to her blog: Mrs. Quinn's Class Blog.
