WONDERFUL NEWS! Margaret Simon, a longtime member of our writing community, will receive the NCTE Donald H. Graves Writing Award at the NCTE Annual Convention in Washington in November. Margaret will receive this award at the Elementary Section Get Together, which will be held on Thursday afternoon, November 20th. If you plan to be at NCTE, I hope you’ll join me at a table to cheer for Margaret when she accepts this prestigious award.

A big cheer, Margaret! Congratulations!
Today a student told me he did not have time to read anything but his textbooks. I haven’t crafted a good response to that yet, but I’ve been thinking about it all day. I wrote about making time for what you value: http://portable-teacher.blogspot.com/2014/09/making-time.html
Today’s slice was inspired by an interview with the great cellist, Yo-Yo Ma: http://readingtothecore.wordpress.com/2014/09/23/slice-of-life-between-the-words/

Folded a story with the Connected Courses folks, and as usual, it is an odd thing to behold.

Wow congratulations Margaret! I’m honored to “know” you and be a part of this writing community. I will be at NCTE but landing in DC as Margaret accepts her award! Hope to see so many of you there.
This is a slice of teaching processing. Lots of that going on this year. Always learning and re learning.

Celebrating Banned Book Week, really, celebrating reading banned books, plus some other recent events (& books) give me concern for those who don’t speak out when something is not right. Tough topic to analyze… http://www.teacherdance.org/2014/09/slicing-can-be-loud.html
Congrats to Margaret for the Donald Graves award. Local writing community makes good! Again!
I am posting blog link from my most recent post and tonight writing instead of a story, a flyer for the K-1 Saturday Reading & Writing Roundup.
