Classroom Blogs

Inside Marissa Ochoa's 3rd Grade Classroom
Marissa has taught school for six years. She currently teaches in Poway California. She uses this blog through Scholastic's message board blogs. She has this blogs set up for anybody to see. She posts blogs weekly. The blogs are all about projects her class is working on, field trips, current events, and holiday art creations. She uses lots of pictures. My favorite blog she had was where she told all about her trip to Las Angelos for J K Rowling's Harry Potter book signing tour. Harry Potter books are my favorite. I really liked that she shared her life with her students. She also gave classroom organizational tips to teachers who might also be reading her blog.

Inside Jill White's 1st Grade Classroom
Jill teaches exceptional children in grades 1st through 4th. She uses this blog by giving the viewer an incite in how she runs her classroom. Each blog she posts is about some kind of activity her class did along with pictures so you can visualize. Then she also gives a description of the lesson so that if any teachers are reading her blog they can use her ideas. One idea that I found particularly interesting was her Arctic Studies Week. She made an igloo for her students, by using plastic and duct tape, so her students could see what it was like to live in an igloo. Very cute idea. These are a couple the pictures:















I really liked her blog. I think she has a lot of good ideas for making learning fun. You should really check out her website: Jill White's Blog
