A friar, a principal, and a soldier? Too busy…scattered…words that resonate and resurface…yes, this is about teaching. It is not a bad joke. https://meanderingmaya.wordpress.com/2015/09/23/resonating-and-resurfacing-words/

Yikes, Linda just alerted me that I failed to link up. I’m exercising my growth mindset, realizing that I can figure out some technology issues with time, effort, and a bit of serendipity.

Teachers frequently ask how many pieces students should write. What’s the right answer?
http://tworeflectiveteachers.blogspot.com/2015/09/slice-of-life-how-many-pieces.html
I’ve been writing in my head on and off all day. Finally getting to putting it down and posting. The more we slice, the more slices we see.

It’s been a few years since I used George Ella Lyon’s “Where I’m From” poem as a mentor text. We tried out making videos this time….http://hollymueller.blogspot.com/2015/09/slice-of-life-where-im-from.html

I admit it. I use THOSE things. Using reading logs to help students who need it most.

Hi, Michele. I was unable to comment on your blog since I’m not a Blogger user and it wouldn’t let me sign in. My comment is: No gasping here. There is nothing wrong with using reading logs as a scaffold or a tangible artifact of our reading lives. We use them in my school all the time. 🙂
