I ordered three of her books for my classroom library and am hoping the kids will enjoy them. I am really looking forward to writing circles and helping kids take control over some of their writing.

Hearing directly from someone who has mastered their art is such an important part of helping the students make connections between the classroom and the real world. And, I love hearing about your writing circles. Writing can sometimes be perceived as a solo/isolating activity, but your circles will certainly prove the contrary and infuse some team fun along the way. Bravo to you for continuing to find ways to enrich the learning environment for our 6th graders.

I know how those "How was school today?" conversations can be like pulling teeth, as I have had similar ones with my boys. The preprimary and lower school blogs have helped my wife and me a great deal, so I was inspired to do the same. Do you remember any of the books you read in middle school? I recall reading "The Pearl," by John Steinbeck. I hope you continue to follow our blog throughout the year. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06930399249104720673noreply@blogger.com
