Teach- Write Building a Writing Life
Posted on August 7, 2018 by showgem
I am so happy I joined this group. I loved the weekly check-ins and listening to the conversations. I learned a lot. I am so happy that Jennifer is opening Wednesday nights to check in with each other. Writing is so much better when there is a community. I learned a lot. It’s going to make things a lot easier. I have been a 5th grade writing teacher for about 8 years. I have 3 writing classes every day for an hour.
I am looking forward to writing in front of my students and having them giving me feedback about what I am writing. I love the TAG part of writing where students give insight and ask questions and give feedback.
Missed a couple of weeks this summer but I’m back with my bads: https://sherrisslice.wordpress.com/2018/08/07/sol-tuesday-18-my-bad/

Staff development this week, students next. It’s on — which meant, unexpectedly, that it was *off* on Monday. Off campus, that is. https://cast-of-characters.blogspot.com/2018/08/first-day-field-trip.html
