Introduction: "Blogging" is an Odd Word

This blog serves as a place to showcase 6th grade writing and photography. It grows out of much of the work that we do in our writers notebooks in class, and exists because of the fabulous talent of this sixth grade class. Each week, two sixth grade students will share their writing on our blog, and many more will read and comment on it. Students have wide latitude in what they can write; the only requirement is that it must be true. Expect to see stories that are funny, insightful, sad or strange (perhaps all of these!). Know that the writers have all worked hard on these, so if you see something you like, PLEASE comment so that the writer gets your response.
During school breaks, we'll be posting pieces that we worked on as a class, or that a group of students prepared for the blog.
In the end, whether or not we are "bloggers," I think that it will become apparent that this class is absolutely full of writers.
Enjoy!
