This is the kind of question PolitiFact Oregon loves most, a hard number attached to a specific claim. Let’s take a look."

Changing Times
Changes to Intermediate teaching assignments means that my
primary focus will be changing from Social Studies to 3rd Year
Language Arts; this change obviously will alter how this blog will be used. I’ll
be adding Mrs. Morton and Mr. Mishkin as contributors to this blog, so there
might be changes brought about by their contributions.
I am, however, going to try to use this space to publish
student work from my Language Arts classes. I intend to have them start to
follow the events leading up to the primaries with the purpose of writing
editorial type articles that will be published initially on KidBlog, but may
find their way here. As with everything else, this will be a work in progress
and it might be some time before work of sufficient quality is produced for
entry here.
So, check back…

Social Studies Blog
If you have come here looking for posts from me; you have
come to the wrong place. This year I want to make my blogs a place where
student work is published. The posts will be slow to start, but will hopefully
pick up speed as the year goes on. Students will be using KidBlog as a testing
place for their posts. Once a post has become polished enough for publication,
this is one of the places where you will find them.
Student names will not be used; there will be a “Nom de Plume” that those in
the classes will recognize.
