And next year’s words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.”

I teach Writing Workshop, Language Arts and Social Studies to sixth graders at a middle school in suburban New Jersey. This blog is my attempt to capture all the "stuff" that goes into my teaching life - the planning, the dreaming, the reading, the preparing, the hoping and (above all) the kids.

Hello Everybody,
I’m back after a long hiatus. This post is about my New Year’s resolution and some other discoveries that can only be made by writing regularly. That means that I will be here every Tuesday. Oh, and I’ve revived my wordpress blog for personal and non-professional kinds of writing. ateachersruminations.blogspot.com will still be for professional purposes, so sometimes I will post from there and at other times, I will use my wordpress blog.

I adore your Eliot quote: “For last year’s words belong to last year’s language

And I warn readers that my piece on revision is not short. The luxury of vacation prompts more writing time…this is definitely a beginning:

Happy Eve of New Year’s Eve. With this in mind, I penned a post,”Stepping Back Before Going Forward,” as my offering. It can be found at http://beyondliteracylink.blogspot.com/2014/12/stepping-back-before-going-forward.html.
Since it is #AwesomeTuesday I also ask that the Slice of Writers peruse the Finding Fall Gallery to view a reflective look at Fall by a host of writers (some of which are part of this community or have been). Consider joining me in the next gallery collection that will be announced soon.
