My fourth grade students have created a Writing Blog that you might want to take a look at. The web address is
This has been one of the biggest motivators for getting my kids to want to write on a daily basis. Take a look when you get a chance!

Cathy - I've decided to kick my teaching up a notch, and add blogging to my 7th and 8th grade class next year. I teach Language Arts and also some of the computer skills classes, so this makes a lot of sense. Trying to narrow down the options, as it needs to be free (at least until I show the school this is effective), safe, and relatively easy for me to use. I'm spending part of the summer just getting the hang of different blogs for teachers/students. I've used the Teachersfirst website, which has been very helpful. Any recommendations are welcome.

Thanks for creating this group Cathy. I teach 8th grade math and have been looking to add a math blog part to my class. It would be really cool if I could find another 7/8 grade math teacher who is interested in the same thing. I think we could do some pretty amazing things across the www, and I bet the students would find it fun.
