SOLS: Mine Forever.
Prior to adult writing time, I read aloud Jamie Lee Curtis' book, Tell Me Again About the Night I was Born. Then, thinking about SOLSC today, I decided to attempt to write about being given my son. It didn't work out so well as a narrative, so I switched genres. Here it is, in a… Continue reading SOLS: Mine Forever.

"Did you have a good year in third grade?" my mom asked.… Continue reading Ruth’s MM: A Safe Home

My Thoughts on Writing.
One of the initial writer's notebook entries I ask that we create in the BWWT (I'm so sick of typing: Beginning Writing Workshop Training) is to think about our past writing experiences.

Stacey’s M.M. Post: Growing Up… Literally
(I'm using Ruth's "I Remember" Memoir Post from last week to help me set up my post today. I figured this would be a nice way to show how other teachers' writing can help inspire our own writing.)

Ruth’s SOLS: What’s your mom do?
Yesterday afternoon, my oldest daughter and I were driving home from school shopping. Our conversation was one in which I was asking questions regarding important info that she should know -- things like telephone number; address; parents' names -- and she was answering. Then came this snippet: Me: What's my job? Hannah: What do you mean?… Continue reading Ruth’s SOLS: What’s your mom do?

Ruth’s Memoir Monday: I remember.
I remember lazy summer days with nothing to do but read a book cover-to-cover. I remember summers filled with professional development nearly every week. I remember dinner conversations that were entirely devoted to the happenings of my classroom. I remember reading as many professional books as I could get my hands on. I remember arriving… Continue reading Ruth’s Memoir Monday: I remember.

Ruth’s SOLS: Giggles.
Tonight, while Andy cooked dinner and I continued my recovery, we sent the kids upstairs to play. The monitor was on and it was filling the entire downstairs with giggles. They were having so much fun and the continuous giggling was infectious. I found myself feeling better just listening to them. They are so happy.… Continue reading Ruth’s SOLS: Giggles.
