Three Great Teacher Blogs

Teaching Blog Addict

Given the amount of sheer teaching content and links for Preschool and Kindergarten grades alike, I chose the Teaching Blog Addict.  Upon browsing and scrolling through the site, you'll not only notice

that there are there links for Preschool and Kindergarten grades, but for grades one through six as well. Other links include substitute, special ed., and homeschooling. One of the tabs - Wheels on the Bus - takes you to a page with songs, and even lists different activities for each of them.  With the mass amount of content that this site holds, it makes a great tool for any teacher learning or wanting to get involved with younger grades.

The First Grade Parade

I chose the First Grade Parade blog because the website's background colors pop and are inviting to viewers. The colors are bright with balloons in the right hand corner. The letters are large, bold, and colorful. When scrolling down, you'll notice that she updates pictures of her classroom with different angles and areas of her room for others to get inspiration. She also has tabs for free resources, kindly giving away material such as print templates. She also includes a tab for buying learning material from her own personal store.

Mrs. Wills' Kindergarten

I chose Mrs. Wills' blog because her background is a warm teal color with polka dots and other contrasting colors like green and yellow. Such colors suggest fun, comfortable, happy feelings.  As you scroll down her first page, she has pictures with her and her family. In the way she has it set up, she's being personal with whomever is reading, wanting them to be personal with her in return. She then also has a separate tab for her "about me". She has phenomenal ideas for workshops with individual, detailed pictures, and also has tabs for her products and her classroom. My favorite is the tab she created to show off her student's writing.
