Back to writing today. Kids will be working through the “diary entry” sections of their personal narratives. And for me, that means lots of conversations as I seek to give kids feedback throughout the process. And not only a lot of conversations but also a lot of different conversations, for despite the same prompt and same success criteria, I will meet each kid in a different place. It’s almost as if I am a chameleon who changes to fit each writer. And while that’s a lot of “skin” to have in the game, I am not sure there’s really any other, better way to support writers. So, I–as best I can–adapt to each. Their needs define my support. I am a chameleon.

Today’s Trail

Along today’s trail we will experience…

…connecting through Smiles and Frowns.

…growing with grammar.

…growing as writers.

…reflecting in our Journey Journals.

…hearing a Sappy Sy Rhyme.

Happy Thursday, all. Sorry for the short post today. Lots on my mind.

Do. Reflect. Do Better.
