It is 10:57. I just got home and my bones are tired. Why am I facing a computer screen and writing, even though I left the house at 6:15 am, led writing workshop in four classrooms, joined two teachers in reflective practice meetings, planned a writing celebration, started a new book study with a group… Continue reading Why Write Tonight?

Spoiling Steph (Ruth’s SOLS)
Tonight Andy and I spoiled Stephanie. Together, just the three of us, we bought new gear for softball season. Pink cleats. Pink mit. Pink gear bag. Not-pink ling socks. Black shorts. She loves softball. I like seeing this part of her develop. I'm thankful she has a place where her strong-will, competitive nature, and drive… Continue reading Spoiling Steph (Ruth’s SOLS)

5 Senses (Ruth’s SOLS)
Trying to think of a creative way to collect a slice today... Tomorrow I'm giving a minilesson in second grade about adding sensory details to writing, which leads me to collecting my favorite of each sense from today. I see Stephanie's new purple glasses. I hear Hannah's voice as she sings her latest original song.… Continue reading 5 Senses (Ruth’s SOLS)

Sunshine on a Plate (Ruth’s SOLS)
When I posted my photo on March first, I fully expected it to be the last of the snow. It's one of the things I like best about collecting slices throughout March -- we get to welcome Spring. For a few days Spring visited, but she is long-gone now. The wind is howling. The sky… Continue reading Sunshine on a Plate (Ruth’s SOLS)

“A” Collection (Ruth’s SOLS)
I collect the letter A. I think it's fun to hide them throughout the house and in my office at school. I like to tuck them into unexpected places. On top of a picture frame, above a door, beside a table lamp. Recently I gathered several of them and placed them on our mantel. I… Continue reading “A” Collection (Ruth’s SOLS)

Taking Care (Ruth’s SOLS)
My body has been speaking to me the past few weeks and it hasn't been very happy. My arms and legs tingling, my joints burning, and my muscles sore. After several tests bringing normal results, I began to worry. My everyday routine was significantly altered. Computer work was painful, writing with a pen impossible, exercise… Continue reading Taking Care (Ruth’s SOLS)
