We will continue to comment on the blogs of our fellow
bloggers. Your child may comment on the
blogs of our fellow bloggers. When your
child is commenting on our blog or one of the other classroom blogs please
remind them of the following “Good Blogger Tips”:
Good Bloggers:
• use only their first name
or initials and never their whole name
• always say where they are
from
• never post pictures of
classmates without the teacher’s permission
• don’t reveal personal
information like their address or phone number
• never pretend you are
someone else on a blog
• write sentences with
capital letters and proper punctuation
• are polite! We can offer “praises” and “pushes” but
should never try to hurt someone’s feelings
• are positive and have
fun!
Additional awesome tips from Mr. Gasciogne on how to leave a
quality comment:
1. Compliment the writer in a specific way.
2. Add new information
3. Make a connection
4. End with a question.
5. Proofread your comment
