Maybe, just maybe I might get to go to NCTE! The district is sending 4 coaches! I applied but it’s a lottery so I am not sure if I’ll get to join-fingers are crossed!! Will know in a few days for sure!

A Do-Over Moment with a kid
http://booksavors.wordpress.com/2013/10/22/sol-my-start-over-wand/
Do you focus on your strengths or your weaknesses? I have always thought more about what I am bad in, then what I am good in. Math vs. art.

Thanks to everyone who said they like the new look. We just finalized the new blog header last night.
We spent a lot of time, as a team, trying to write the perfect tag line! (Luckily, it took us a lot less time to come to a consensus on the blog header.)
So glad you’re all here!
I was inspired to write today’s slice by Anita Ferreri’s slice from last week. Thanks for the inspiration, Anita!

Not yet “published” and still a “mentor text”! What a great model for our students! We are all mentors for each other! Thanks for the “shout out”! It made my day and fueled my writing self!
I hope to get to lots of your slices later…conference week is always a killer. My slice is a happy one though! http://teachingyoungwriters.blogspot.com/2013/10/really.html

I think I was too sleepy this am, but did notice, just not enough to comment, sad to say. It looks terrific, all of you, & the quote is ‘just right’, as Goldilocks would say!
I spent some time recently thinking about the quality of tenacity. I think being tenacious is an important quality for a writer.

Thank you! It took me way longer to create than I expected, Juliann. I taught myself how to use an image modulation program. I feel so much more creative as a result. 🙂
