Success, Struggles and Strategies~ Classroom Slice of Life Story Challenge

When @cathymere first asked if I planned to participate in the 30 days writing challenge my answer was, "Yes! My class will love the idea of a challenge, and they write every day in our writing workshop, so why not!" After my rather impulsive "Yes" I reflected on the writers in my class and began wonder what this challenge would look like in our classroom.

So, Why Do I Write? Discovering the Writer’s Life

When the co-authors of Two Writing Teachers invited me to join the team, I was overwhelmed. When Julie Johnson asked me to co-author an iBook through the Columbus Area Writing Project, I was again submerged in fear. I found myself wondering if these writers had read my writing. I mean, if they had read my ramblings on my personal blog they wouldn't be inviting me, right? Do writers ever lose their doubts?

Student Writing Reflection

Young learners are fascinating. One minute they're focused and willing workers, seconds later they're playful and silly, but watch them with their parents and they become entirely different little people, and I am reminded of how young they are. It's for this exact reason I love working with our youngest learners. Their playful, innocent nature alongside the desire to be a "big kid" suits our job perfectly.
