April Vacation

It’s been a long winter for many of us. Now that it’s April, it’s my hope the bone-chilling cold will give way to milder temperatures, sunshine, and flowers.

My colleagues and I at Two Writing Teachers are taking a week off from blogging this week.  (NOTE: Betsy will host Slice of Life Tuesday on April 7th.) We will resume posting on Friday, April 10th.  In the meantime, we hope you will:

• Check out our blogroll, which is categorized at the bottom of our main page and at the bottom of every post. There are many other excellent bloggers who will continue to provide fresh content about literacy while we’re away.

• Use our archives to search for what you need. We have a ton of archived content on nearly every aspect of writing workshop. Just type the key words you’re searching for (e.g., “poetry,” “storytelling,” “writing workshop”) into the search bar. The search bar can be found by scrolling to the bottom of any page on our blog.  

• Write some poetry!  Go to Jama Rattigan’s blog for a round-up of National Poetry Month challenges. Also, check out Margaret Simon‘s #digipoetry on Twitter.

• Click around our other blogs:

  • Raising a Literate Human (That’s me.)

  • A Teaching Life (That’s Tara.)

  • Teaching Young Writers (One of Betsy’s blogs.)

  • Murphy’s Law (Dana’s blog.)
