In my last post I wrote about why I stated a classroom Facebook page as well as my first weeks results. (http://mattgomez.posterous.com/classroom-facebook-page-my-reasoning)

I felt like it was time for an update.....

- Currently 11 of the kids have at least one family member on the page. Dads, Moms and a couple Grandparents. Several parents have mentioned they will join soon because their child always talks about it :)

- In the last month I have made close to 70 posts

- There have been right at 100 comments made by parents on those posts

- Each day I post at least 2 things from our day. With my iPhone these post can be done easily and quickly AS THINGS HAPPEN

- The kids look forward to hearing the comments parents make and it has become a great way to review our previous day and week

- The kids are starting to request certain things to be posted that they value and it is quickly becoming "their page"

 - I have found it a great way to send "homework" for relevant extension of our day. Favorite so far was having the family count syllables in "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" Posted a link to the song and feedback was great!

- I am getting to know the parents better and feel more connected with them

-Getting important info to parents is easy and fast (even though this is my least concern page)

I will close with one of my favorite quotes thus far...

 "This is great because even when he is sick and absent we can be working on school work :)"
