Throughout the school year, I plan to use Padlet to build

a collaborative digital learning community where students and families can interact with classroom learning.

It will help me:

Promote Cross-Curricular Learning: I will create Padlets that combine reading and science, or writing and art. This helps students make connections between subjects. For example, our plant unit includes reading, drawing, writing, and science all in one space.

Connect with Families (PreK–2nd
focus): I will post updates, student work, and optional family assignments, keeping parents engaged. Padlet is easy for parents to view and comment on, which builds our home-school connection.

Promote Student Collaboration: In group projects, students will upload and reflect on shared work. Padlet's voice and comment features allow even young learners to participate meaningfully.

Greetings from Ms. Blake families and first graders! This is where we’ll share our classroom activities, learning projects, and stories from our day. For this activity, you’ll find a fun assignment where you will include photos, drawings and recordings to continue what we’re learning in science. I’ll also post information to keep parents and family in the loop. Check our class padlet for weekly activities, tips, and family-friendly updates. So let's continue to grow and learn together!
