Welcome to our Grade 1 class<br />
blogs for the 2014-2015 school<br />
year. Our teachers use<br />
WordPress, which is hosted by<br />
TAS.<br />
Student and teacher blogs can<br />
be accessed from the KA-2<br />
Lower School Technology Site,<br />
which can be found on the TAS<br />
website through following path:<br />
TAS> Quick Links> Academic<br />

Technology> Class<br />
According to Merriam-Webster<br />
(2014), a blog is a website on which<br />
someone writes about personal<br />
opinions, activities and experiences.<br />
The TAS class blogs are essentially<br />
websites where classes add posts<br />
about what they are learning.<br />
Located on the right side of the<br />
main class blog, you will see a bold<br />
heading titled ‘Student Blogs’. It is<br />
here that you will find your child’s<br />
blog link. Clicking on your child’s<br />
name will take you to his/her<br />
student blog. Logging in is not<br />
necessary to visit and leave<br />
comments.<br />

Blogs strengthen the<br />
connection between school and<br />
home. On the home page of<br />
each class blog, teachers will<br />
often include photos,<br />
slideshows, videos and<br />
academic links that support<br />
and enrich student learning.<br />
Your child’s teacher will post<br />
up-to-date information<br />
regarding what is happening<br />
in the classroom.<br />
Blogs provide students an ideal<br />
opportunity to share their<br />
thinking and learning with a<br />
global audience. The teachers<br />
and your children look<br />
forward to sharing their blogs<br />
this year and urge you to visit<br />
them often!
