My students are going to be drafting while I'm out of the room doing reading assessments this-coming Thursday. Hence, I'm a little bit panicked since I don't like being out of the room on days when kids are selecting a seed idea or when they start drafting. (I have an amazing guest teacher... so it's… Continue reading Draft Plans for Literary Essays

Stacey’s Slice of Life Story: Day #29
Earlier in the day, Marc admitted to being a "Social Coffee Drinker." I thought that sounded funny. I've never heard anyone label themselves with that kind of status before. "Morning Coffee Drinker," yes; "Social Coffee Drinker," no. We were having dinner at 242 with Marc's aunt and uncle tonight. Our server came by and asked,… Continue reading Stacey’s Slice of Life Story: Day #29

Stacey’s Slice of Life Story: Day #28
Right after work I picked up all of the letters I created for my students so they could all take-home a piece of pottery when we have the next (ticket-bidding) Pottery Auction. I was pretty happy with the glazing results: I decided to spend the next hour or so wrapping each one in newspaper (again)… Continue reading Stacey’s Slice of Life Story: Day #28

Poetry Friday: An Ode to Brads
I liked the photo I attached to yesterday's SOLSC Post so much that I tried to replicate it with another photograph of my crystal-like brads (aka: fasteners). Since it's Poetry Friday, I decided to take another stab at writing an ode, which I haven't tried since July. An Ode to the Crystal-Like Brads on My… Continue reading Poetry Friday: An Ode to Brads

Conferring
It's true what Lucy always said about speaking loud enough so other students hear you while you confer... they do learn by listening in! I've known this for awhile, but was reminded of it yesterday when I brought six of my students up to my classroom at lunchtime to further assist them with creating solid… Continue reading Conferring

Stacey’s Slice of Life Story: Day #27
I fell asleep on my couch around 9ish this evening. I was grading papers and got tired, so I turned on the TV, laid down, and well... fell fast asleep. Marc tapped me on the shoulder about an hour later and woke me up. Good thing he did since I realized that not only did… Continue reading Stacey’s Slice of Life Story: Day #27

A Retrospective of Posts
I was on Bethany's Blog this morning and came across a meme. Since I woke up around 4:00 a.m. this morning (couldn't sleep), I decided to give it a whirl. So, here I am! Here's the drill with the meme: Go back through your archives and post the links to five of your favorite blog… Continue reading A Retrospective of Posts

Stacey’s Slice of Life Story: Day #26
My Slice of Life Story for March 26th, 2008 Originally uploaded by teachergal I kind of felt like a student today. I wasn't sure what to write about. I had lots of stories, but I couldn't decide which one to pick. This is the Slice I landed up with since the entire Math Workshop makes… Continue reading Stacey’s Slice of Life Story: Day #26
