Perhaps not literally, but practically, Mr. Moore and Ms. Vander Velde have invited their 5th graders into their professional learning community. In this blog post from East, these innovative teachers have sent out the 5th graders to look at blogs linked from this site to other classrooms. The students are to review what they see other classes doing, evaluate it and return to their own blog with new ideas. This assignment was only just made last Friday and I have seen the first two blog posts. The student comments are constructive and demonstrate a clear understanding. The second blog post in the list shows the student discovered Anne Smith’s High School English blog and was taken with her activities. I wonder what Ms. Smith thinks of 5th graders evaluating her work? I’m betting she’ll be quite pleased… and eager for these students to become 9th graders

Go check out their work at the Dragon Pagoda and if you like what you see, leave them a comment on their Guest Book. Way to go Chris Moore and Nikki Vander Velde!
