Making Categories

Way to go, Sixth Graders! We are off and running with blogs, both 6A and 6B now. Everyone has been blogging about Past, Present, Future for the first topic.

Second topic – Book Review

Third topic – Favorite Things (or My Favorite Thing)

Fourth topic, which is optional and ongoing… Free Write! That’s “write”! Anything on your mind, when you have some free time to be creative on your blog, important things to you, or just anything random-ville. (Hmmm, an idea. Maybe a post could be Random Thoughts. I may use that!)

(The links below will be active soon to some Sixth Grade posts. Stay tuned!)

Past, Present, Future

Book Review

Favorite Things

Free Write

Let’s get back to the topic though – Making Categories.

Here’s the easy HOW TO

Once you’re working on a post and you’re ready to save DRAFT, look over to the righthand column and scroll down until you see Categories. Click on:

Add New Category
Type in Category name
Click Add New Category once again
Select your category that fits your post before you Draft or Submit for Review

Making categories will help lots after you have a bunch of posts but only want to look at certain ones. Just clicking on the category name on your home blog page will bring up all of those posts together.

Mail Exchange (Lutheran Schools Postcard Exchange)

Dear Friends in Christ,

It is a joy to connect with you through snail mail – postcards and letters. (Thanks to Mr. Kroll in Wisconsin for organizing everything!) When I share your mail, my students are amazed to find similarities and learn about differences where you live. It always brings about great discussion and leads to more discovery!

My sixth graders have written responses to your mail in their blog posts. I would love to continue to connect with you through the year! We also use Seesaw and could connect Seesaw blogs with you as another option.

God’s peace,

Mrs. Peterson
