Ode to my waterski
Inspired by day 1 of Jen Serravallo’s Summer Writing Camp…trying the “What If?” strategy to generate ideas…this is a way to help my Ss start narrative! https://mrspalmerponders.wordpress.com/2018/06/26/hello-food-goodbye-nails/
I struggle with this too. I set an alarm the first week of summer break. After that I decided to start the day when I feel ready. If I am not ready I just go through the motions. Do what makes you happy. Summer goes fast.

Last week, when my colleague and I were supporting teachers as writers, she challenged us to write a bird story (for everyone has a bird story). If not for that, this dim memory might have been lost. But it came rushing back to me on bright blue wings … I remember you, Kilroy.
