About our class blog

© 2015 odsashe.blogspot.co.nz

Our class blog is a window into our classroom where you can see examples of our ongoing learning, creating and sharing. Throughout the term I try to ensure that every student has some work published with as many different presentation styles as possible.  Each post won't include every child's learning.  Our class blog is preparation for their own blogging further along in their schooling. The posts are a snapshot of their learning and are a way for you to connect with the children and provide opportunities for you to have conversations about what we are doing in class.  I welcome your comments and feedback on the posts which are shared with the children routinely as part of our reading.

The Last Post

Kia ora everyone

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support of the children and their learning while they have been with me for the last 19 weeks.

We have done so much learning and I hope that this blog has provided a window into their time in Room 14.

Lifelong friendships have been established and I believe that all of the children are becoming confident, connected, lifelong learners.

It has been a pleasure to have been their teacher.

I wish all of you a safe and happy holiday with your friends and families.
