Celebrating writing about my children today. Christmas trees. The season's magic. Growing. They are growing so fast. I found myself leaning up against the wall as I prepared my living room for a huge green tree invasion. My children, full of energy, began running in circles around the house. I wrote a poem about my son and I know I will treasure it.
I am treasuring the moments I had with my students this past week as we really dug into revision. Students enjoyed using a different tool to go back into their writing and really make it better. Can't wait to see this go further.
I am celebrating the #nerdlution with Chalk-A-Day. I am having so much fun chalking a little poem each day @Betsy_writes.
A new computer was cause for celebration this week. I can finally work on my, Where is Poetry? It's Everywhere, presentation for the Dublin Literacy Conference. Will you be there? I can't wait!
Kids grow up so fast. I think it is great that you stop, observe and write to save these moments. There's always good stuff happening in your class, I love reading about it. Glad to know the new computer is working out. :-)
ReplyDeleteChildren are an endless source of inspiration! You will treasure your poem about your son for years to come! Definitely much to celebrate.
