We are blogging!

That's right!  My 3rd  and 5th grade ESOL students have already started blogging in class.  In 3rd grade, they did a character study of the main characters in a story of their own choice.  In 5th grade, they focused on various characters in the story, "Martina, the Beautiful Cockroach."  They are required to post an answer to my question and also comment on one of their classmates' posts.
