Happy New Year! Today we roll out our new hashtag for this year: #SOL18. We are so glad you are here today to share your post, then read and comment on other posts too!
If you are thinking ahead to the Classroom SOLSC in March, but haven’t blogged much with students yet, or feel like you could use more support with classroom blogs, consider signing up for this free 10 week course offered by The Edublogger.
Yesterday, Two Writing Teachers kicked off our One Little Word (OLW) series of posts. Have you selected your own OLW for the new year? You might find some inspiration from Amy Krouse Rosenthal’s 2010 TED Talk on “7 Notes on Life.” She sums up her talk with 7 words she most wanted to convey: “Make the most of your time here.”
How will you make the most of this new year?
