I hope everyone had a
great and fantastic 4th of July! I have to say that the 4th is one of my
favorite holidays (behind Christmas, Halloween, and St. Patrick's Day...for all the decorations and family time of course). Every year my family (on my dad's side) get together at my Aunt Flo's house for a
little reunion. It is a
very relaxing-laid back weekend with swimming, fishing, eating, tie dyeing, and
overall just fun with the family. We had a
fabulous time and enjoyed the days we got to spend together!

It's Sunday night...so you know what that means. I am getting ready for
week 2 of the Writing Project through UNCC :) I am
so ready to explore writing more and become a better writer teacher and model for my students. If the next two weeks are
anything like the three days we had last week...I am going to be
worn out but
loaded with ideas!
I'm pumped; bring it on! :)
From the discussion yesterday around Mary Ellen's demo, you aren't the only one who had some "negative-ish" thoughts on revising. I don't do it, per se, with my little friends in my class; but I can see how it would be difficult to encourage your students to do it. I liked both Cindy's suggestions and also Mary Ellen's ideas about repurposing the text into something different. Could you use some of those strategies?
