It's all in the LeeLouBlog template ;)<br /><br />Kim, my students don't currently write in daybooks, but I like your idea of incorporating them if my KidBlog seems to be lacking. I think, especially in my classroom this year, that I will incorporate a journal or daybook of some kind. I think officially holding students accountable for writing, and even modeling more in school, will encourage an enthusiasm for writing more than I have had before :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5500068944854881295.post-19383018016850319782013-07-02T05:47:02.509-07:002013-07-02T05:47:02.509-07:00Sarah,

I agree that the hallway assignment really opened my eyes up tpo the power of writing and its influence on all of us, subtle or not. <br />Cheers,<br />NicholasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5500068944854881295.post-59573652691934018232013-07-01T20:03:11.056-07:002013-07-01T20:03:11.056-07:00Hey Sarah--I loved your blog!

I think that you have such a well-crafted voice that is perfect for the blogosphere :) Also, I agree with Tiffany that even though your blog looks amazing (and you have to share your secrets with all of us), what really comes through is the thoughtfulness behind your posts. Great job!KendraAndrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17127281663204805802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5500068944854881295.post-29971494124735971222013-07-01T19:49:48.568-07:002013-07-01T19:49:48.568-07:00Ditto the above comments.

The possibilities are exciting. <br />I like that you are looking to improve yourself as a writer, something I am hoping to work on too. I came across this quote in doing some searching for my inquiry..."the smarter we make ourselves about writing, the more ways we see to nudge children forward in the work they are doing in writing." Seems like SI is the perfect avenue to get ourselves better!

If blogs for each child doesn't work out, perhaps more flexibility and freedom in daybooks can provide the excitement of writing for your students that you are looking for. <br /><br />Also, thanks for your comments as well. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02823275640546014816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5500068944854881295.post-18090716336318113982013-07-01T17:55:44.674-07:002013-07-01T17:55:44.674-07:00Hey Sarah, you blog does some awesome work documen...Hey Sarah, you blog does some awesome work documenting and reflecting this first day in SI. Reading it blows me away all over again about much we accomplished just in the course of a day. Whew! <br /><br />I was way excited to read your thinking about blogging. I've been in an out of a similar place for quite a while. First, I was all about giving kids their own space...we tried edublogs, then blogger. It was great. Last year I gave kidblog a try. I was was easier, but in some ways not as great. I'm still wrestling with which way to go next year. Maybe sometime we can talk more about it during SI. <br />steve8071https://www.blogger.com/profile/17247535571371594664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5500068944854881295.post-87873252800073773742013-07-01T17:09:31.280-07:002013-07-01T17:09:31.280-07:00WOW.

(love the follow options.)<br /><br />Your blog looks "pretty," but it's content is impossible to dismiss. In this post in particular your enthusiasm comes shining through in your writing. What a great adventure SI will be!Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04375748150812841917noreply@blogger.com
