Heathcote fifth graders have been blogging since 2014. Students’ blogs began as part of their ePortfolio, which reside in Google sites. Then, in the middle of our present school year, 2015-2016, students began using Edublogs, in anticipation of “going live” and having our blogs accessible to individuals outside of Scarsdale public schools.

Each student’s blog site contains a mix of posts. Some are in response to a direct assignment (e.g., Rube Goldberg; poetry anthology), while others are student-initiated. Students’ latest posts, as of June 2016, center on their fifth grade Capstone projects, which answer their main inquiry question.

Take a look at my students’ blogs and, if you have time, leave comments for a student or two, preferably for “Capstone” or “Rube Goldberg” (all posts will be from 2015-2016).
