I hope that at this point you have received your copy of the Welcome Letter! It is also posted below this post for reference. The forms that were sent with the letter can be brought in on the first day of school or to the open house. As I mentioned in the letter, this website will be used instead of the traditional teacher newsletters; so when you get a chance, please follow this blog for updates on our learning!
Q: Who will be posting on the account?
A: I will be the only one posting on the account. I use Instagram as a way to share what we are learning and what students are working on. It is one of the tools I use to keep families informed!
Q: What will you be posting on the account?
A: I will be posting short videos and pictures. These will often include pictures of students, charts we used, books we read, or any events we attended. I will NOT post students names. I will only be taking pictures of students that have permission to be recorded/photographed.
Q: Why use Instagram in the classroom?
A: As I mentioned above, it is a way I can share what students are working on with you, but it also gives you more ways to talk about school with your second grader. This way you hear more details about his or her day. No more " I don't know" or " I can't remember"!
Q: Who can see the Instagram photos and videos?
A: Only people to whom I have allowed permission.
Q: Will you request to follow our personal Instagram accounts?
A: I will not request to follow you. I respect that these accounts are your personal accounts and you may want them to remain that way!
