Birth of the Blog!

I am currently taking an on-line course, "Using Blogs and WIKIS to Foster Literacy", through URI. The overall project is to create an interactive blog site to increase literacy within the classroom. My original blog was created with Literature Circles in mind. I was hoping to utilize the blog in the classroom during our Literature Circle Units. However, due to the security blocks on the school web server the original blog is unable to be viewed or interacted with at school. So, with that said I chose to create a new blog that would help open the lines of communication between school and home. I am very excited about this project and will love to see it take on a life of its own. Enjoy it and blog away!
