This is my computer work desk, and I look forward to receiving comments from all the kids in the class. Many of you are probably way ahead of me in using Blogs, but learning new things is always fun. If you are new to Blogs, we can learn together. If you are ahead, you can teach me.
I'm looking forward to returning for my third year as a Circle of Grandparents volunteer in a Mrs. Dicke's fourth grade class at Granby Elementary School in the Worthington, Ohio. For the past two years, it was a pleasure to work with these wonderful kids teaching Citizenship and Character traits from the perspective of a grandparent.
Each month, Circle of Grandparents volunteers share their life experiences with their "adopted class" discussing the "word for the month" from a list as developed by the Partnership for Citizenship and Character in Worthington. Words such as Respect, Honesty, Compassion, etc.
The volunteer's remarks dovetail with the school's program to emphasise the word of the month. This year we are trying a Blog as a place to share ideas and receive feedback from the class. Let me know what you think, kids, and feel free to share your own experiences. the Bolg also provides a forum for parents to see into the program, and make comments and suggestions. Grandpa Mitch

We are still trying to learn about Blogs, and this is a test of how to add a comment. I selected "Anonymous" when asked to chose an identity. Then I wrote this note, and clicked on "Login and Publish."
With any luck, it will come out on the blog just as I typed it.

I am practicing the blog site before I work with students. If I am successful, we will go to the lab and try it together. After students become familiar and comfortable navigating through this site they may be motivated to do try at home.
