Sharing The Happenings Around Burlington Public Schools (Edition 1)

The post below is actually a copy of an e-mail that I sent our teachers today to promote our Burlington Public Schools Blog and also share the great work of their colleagues. My goal is to send a similar post weekly.

Thanks to all of you who shared the links to your class websites and blogs with me. If you have not had a chance to do so here is the link where you can share with me.

It is awesome to follow along with what is happening in so many classrooms across the district!  It is also a great way to support Standard 3 (Family and Community Engagement) and keep parents "in the know" about the latest happenings in your classroom and promote ongoing conversations between you and parents as well as parents and their students.

Here are the posts that appeared on the blog so far...

Day 1 - First Day 2014 - Eric Conti, Burlington Public Schools Superintendent

Day 2 - Welcome To Mr. Parkin's Blog - Robert Parkin, BHS History Department

Day 3 - New Adventures - Diana Marcus, BPS Mobile Learning Coach

Day 4 - Welcome Back - Christina Chang, BHS Art Department

Day 5 - Instagram Winners Week 1 - Lexi Djordjevic, BHS Art Department

Day 6 - Our First Week Flew By! - Mrs. Farrand - Memorial School Second Grade

Only 174 more to go...Please feel free to e-mail me something directly that you would like to share. We also welcome original posts from staff or students if you have something that you would like to share.
