Blogging in Classrooms

I love all of the reasons this video mentions for introducing blogging into the classroom! However, I wonder what the best grade(s) is for this?

The field trip that came to us!

Our second graders met the owner and operator of Bug Safari last Thursday. He brought live spiders, scorpions and beetles with him, as well as dead specimens of butterflies, mantises (or is it "manti"?) and more. The kids had a great time, it only took an hour, and each second grade class had a turn. It was great he was able to come to us, and we didn't have a long bus ride to Pike Place Market, where his zoo is located. The kids loved learning about these creatures from someone who truly respects and honors them. We have a pet turantula in the classroom, and the Bug Man was able to inform us that, despite our prediction that it was a she, the spider was a he.
Having this kind of visual is great, and it's something that the kids will remember! This is a tree turantula - when a preditor approaches, they can jump - eek! They are built to survive the fall, unlike squat, round turantulas, whose exoskeleton could shatter from a big fall.

so last week, the class went for a field trip to watch a play called Bluenose at the Seattle Children's theatre and i must say i also enjoyed it. The play talked how each of us is different from one another and that it is okay to different. I think this a good way of how we can discuss in class issues such as racism, discrimination and a good way to build communities within our classroom/
