Open Blog Night

We are getting ready for Open Blog Night, which is like an open house where we get to show off our blogs. The last couple of days have been spent editing, adding the Blogamundo (our class website) link, and making sure everything on our blogs looks presentable.

I expect to have about 50-75 people show up. We'll order pizza for a few more than that, just to be sure. That is quite a crowd for this location.

The editing is going extremely well and I am so proud of all the progress the students have made. It's amazing to see how their writing has changed since their first posts. It is especially noticeable with the students who have been here and have been blogging for a few weeks now. I am so impressed. They are having to do less and less editing after the fact because they just aren't making the mistakes anymore. They are making good writing a habit and that is what I like to see!

UPDATE: The Open Blog Night was a great success! About 50 people came (including staff) and I was able to connect with a lot of parents and show off some great blogs the students have done.
