M.M. Inspiration: Sometimes you have to let your hair down!
Has there ever been a moment in time when you've let your hair down in front of others? For me, it was at the 105th Street (Central Park) Fountain with several of my former students in April 2005. The fountain (in the photo; photo taken in 2007) was empty and several of my students jumped… Continue reading M.M. Inspiration: Sometimes you have to let your hair down!

All-Write Summer Institute: Day Two.
What a whirlwind! And coming home to three young children didn't slow life down any! True to form, I'm going to write another list of good stuff from day two. Storyboards ROCK -- for all grade levels. Penny spent time discussing her use of storyboards. Basically it is pictures + few words. At the younger… Continue reading All-Write Summer Institute: Day Two.
