Hello Parents/Guardians,
As you know in September, I started using the Bloomz app to post pictures and student work throughout the year, so you can see all the wonderful things Division 6 has been doing. I decided not to use my class blog as I have done in the past as the Bloomz app enabled me to easily communicate what I wanted and I enjoy trying new applications. However, starting soon, I will be having the students use blogfolios. Each student will have their own username and password to access their own private blogfolio. The blogfolios will be essentially an on-line portfolio of each student’s work. Parents, you will be sent an e-mail notice each time your child submits something for you to view. We encourage all parents to make comments on the work you see. Words of praise and questions to further conversation are just examples of comments that would be appreciated. Teacher comments may also be viewed. Each child’s blogfolio is private, so you, your child and the teacher will be the only people who can see the work. Once a Blogfolio is created, it will follow the child to the next year’s teacher, who will hopefully continue the blogfolio. It will be a compilation of your child’s work over the years to be enjoyed.
You will be sent more information about blogfolios soon!
Ms. Gabas
