Ruth’s Slice: Debbie Miller Observation!
Sitting on the floor of a primary classroom, watching Debbie Miller lead a reading workshop, I am reminded of the importance of a student-led classroom.

Ruth’s Slice: Morning Tea.

About a year ago I recorded our bedtime routine -- I should do that again, considering there's two extra kids in on the gig. It's funny, though, how much of it is still the same. I was thinking on the way to work today that I should record the morning routine. I don't have photos… Continue reading Ruth’s SOLS: The Morning.
