Blogging - Blogging can be a useful tool for young children who are just learning how to read and write. Kidblog is a website that is safe for teachers and students to blog. Blogging will allow your students to get familiar with skills such as spelling, word and sentence formation, as well as telling stories (real or not). Blogging also allows students to share their ideas with their peers on a common site as well as comment on others' work/stories.  __Outcome__ **CRK.4** ; __ Indicato ____rs__ **a and g**  __Outcome__ **CCK.1**; __Indicators__ **a, b and c**

The students would click on the letter they believe Apple starts with.  __O__ __utcome__ **CRK.1**; __Indicator__ **e**
