Welcome! This site belongs to the students in Grade Two, Division 13 at Capitol Hill Elementary School in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.  I think second graders are absolutely frog-tastic!! Our classroom has a frog theme, so I hope you love frogs as much as I do! If not, I’m sure by the end of the year, you will!

There are 18 students in Division 13 and their teacher is Miss. Brancati. We use our Blog to share the interesting things we are learning and to let you know what’s happening in our class.

Commenting

What is a blog?

If you are unfamiliar with blogs, they are like online journals. Blogs are websites where administrators (in our case Miss. Brancati and Division 15  students) can add posts that are displayed in reverse chronological order (that means the newest posts come up at the top of the page. There are panels on the side where you can go to past posts and view recent comments or visit sites that the students have used in class.

More on  Blogs…

Blogs are great because you can share things with a wide audience. Instead of Miss. Brancati just seeing the students’ work, all of the parents and visitors from across the world can view Div.15’s work and leave comments. Using blogs is also a great way for the students (and teachers!) to improve their technology skills.
