Happy Tuesday! Time to write and share a slice of life story with our generous community of writers.
Thank you for stopping by #TWTBlog today! We hope you will join us in sharing a slice of life story and in leaving some feedback for others.
Summer is here, which means our team is taking a break from now through August 1st. (Well, except on Tuesdays. We always share stories on Tuesdays.)
It’s the first Tuesday of a new month, and it’s the perfect day to write and share a slice of life story. We hope you’ll join us!
After having spent a lot of time physically distancing ourselves from one another, we’re finding ways to gather a bit more closely again. Writing clubs are a way to bring students back together, honor student choice, and strengthen a classroom writing community.

This summer, I’ll be gearing up for what, I’m hoping, will be a year of excitement and discovery. I also hope that somewhere, you, too can find a kernel of hope, joy, or idealism to carry with you into the summer.
Can your own writing lead you back to where you find happiness? Here’s hoping!

It’s my pleasure to announce new additions to our dynamic team of classroom teachers, literacy coaches, staff developers, and authors who are joining TWT as co-authors and contributing writers.
Even as the year winds down, third-grade teacher Danielle and I are working to make her inquiry-based approach to workshop even more student centered. How? By taking the necessity of record-keeping beyond the merely manageable and transforming the workshop through student-engaged assessment.

These tumbleweeds feel like a metaphor for the writers in our workshops: the times they dance freely across the landscape and the times they get stuck.
