Things to Consider Before You Comment

First, we will discuss appropriate ways to comment on your classmates’ blog posts.  Then, I want you to login to Kidblog and leave a thoughtful comment that shows you know the difference between Social and Academic comments.  Don’t forget to use perfect spelling and punctuation. Then, please respond to the blogging prompt about your Christmas break.

I will need to approve all your comments, so please be sure to follow these guidelines!  Click on the following link to login to Kidblog and get started (your password is: __________):
