Welcome to the Cubs Library! I encourage students, parents or staff to our blog to post comments. Blogs are a fantastic tool to share thoughts and ideas with a world wide audience. However, because a blog is a public space that is seen on the internet, it is important to follow the listed guidelines to make sure this blog is used in a secure and safe manner. All comments submitted must be approved by Mrs. Kalbfleisch before they are posted on our blog.
Comment Rules:
- Only first names used. Any student work or comments will be identified by first name only.
- Parents who leave comments are asked not to use last names either. (Please post comments as “Samantha’s Mom” or “David’s Uncle”, etc.)
- Any photos of students on the blog will be completely anonymous without any names connected to them.
- All comments or posts have to be approved by Mrs. Kabfleisch before they are included on the blog. Inappropriate or sloppy writing will not be approved.
- Be respectful and thoughtful always. Make sure your comment is something you would want everyone to see.
- Proof-read your comments carefully and use appropriate language, grammar and spelling.
- No text-or mobile phone language please! Full sentences and words only please!
Comment Ideas:
- Are 2-5 sentences in length (could be more, but not less please)
- Give new information (write a book review for example)
- Give and support your opinion
- Ask questions
- Reply to another posted comment
- Respond to others respectfully and thoughtfully
