Welcome

GRADS is like a classroom without walls. We help our students make connections in their community, find reliable information online and show them how to be lifelong learners throughout their parenting journey. There are also other methods of teaching our students without the traditional textbook. Follow my classroom blog as we stretch the boundaries of teaching and learning.

Last night my son started asking questions about what we were doing this Thanksgiving. Texting (of course), "We are hosting this year on Thursday." He asked, "Aren't we going to Aunt Becky's?" I replied, "No, she didn't plan a family dinner this year probably because of grandpa's hip surgery. Why, do you need to see her?". Tommy said,  "It's just been that way for years."  I said, "people grow up, grow old..." .

Lesson 4: Making Comments

I hope you like the classroom blog project this year. I am happy that you have created your own blogs and I can't wait to see how much you will add by the end of the school year.
This activity is about making comments on a blogger's post. The comments you share with each other is the main purpose of blogging; to communicate about the topic and help everyone who reads the blog develop a better understanding.
