Currently I'm... #sol18

Join Two Writing Teachers and other teacher-writers as we share a slice of life every single day in the month of March.

The time always comes in the March challenge when you rely on the tried and true.  Right now on this Saturday evening, I am going back to an old favorite...

Currently, I'm...

thinking about assessing writing with some brilliant educators

thinking (some more) about how I want to make my thinking about assessing writing visible (maybe a series of blog posts?)

enjoying one of our last fires in the fireplace with my daughter and husband

anticipating a quick visit from my college-student-son 

eating a cinnamon coffee cake

listening to the NCAA basketball games

loving Cinderella teams!

feeling lazy on this first day of spring break

needing to start a healthier lifestyle (we have a district challenge coming up!)

reading What Waits in the Water by Kieran Scott and Reimagining Writing Assessment by Maja Wilson

hoping that this rainy, cloudy, cold weather changes soon

  3. Ahhh. Spring break. You are off to a wonderful start. Now, to make time stop for just a bit, so it won't end so soon. Great description of what is on your mind!

  4. I love this format too and am still holding onto it for whatever day this month I really just can't manage a slice. It's always interesting to write--and for some reason, always interesting to read! That book on writing assessment is really good. And a big YES to a series of blog posts about assessing writing. I'd be very keen to read that.

  7. I love the currently activity! It was one of the first activities I did with my writers this year in their writer's notebook.

  10. Oh the luxury of life when spring break stretches out before you with so many possibilities for your time. Currently was a good way to start your break. I think you should do a series of posts on your assessment thinking. I hope your spring break weather won't let you have another fire because it is so warm. Enjoy!
