I follow several 2nd grade teachers' blogs. Most of this has come from searching for activities and finding links. My favorite blog is Step into Second Grade with Mrs. Lemons. Amy Lemons discusses what her class is studying, sharing neat ideas and her journey through adoption of her daughter. Right now she is sharing her journey through a book study with other bloggers. Through following her, I have found several other blogs to follow. Now after taking a closer look at blogs and blogging, I want to start blogging about my own teaching experiences.
After looking at student blogs, I think these would be a great way to get parents involved with school. One of our goals this year on my school's school improvement plan has been more parental involvement. I think that if students were making daily post to a classroom blog, that parents would be quicker to check and read about the daily events of the classroom. It might have a side benefit of saving paper.
After searching google for other 2nd grade blogs, one of the things I discovered was that some blogs are merely nothing more than a way to try to sell products on TPT. Most blogs have links to TPT but still manage to convey some of what is going on their classrooms.
