NEW TEACHERS - Post a comment with the link to your blog to share it with others!!

This is the 6th grade blog for Buffalo Elementary! We are excited to use this blog this year, and hope that our students will enjoy collaborating online with each other. During the first few weeks of school, you will be shown how to use the blog. You will actually receive your own blog that you will be able to publish articles to yourself. We ask that you do not use students' actual names in your blog articles or comments. This is to maintain the privacy of all of you. Before articles or comments appear online they have to be approved by one of the 6th grade teachers. Until a teacher approves your entry, it will not show up on the blog. We hope you enjoy this new online tool! We wish you a great year! Mr. Phillips, Mr. Lampus, Mr, Kleckner, and Mrs. Nichol.
