What a great time we would have. I imagine you're going to have such a good time this fall with your students. You'll have so much to share from your blog.

I'm so glad you posted last week, and so glad that Michelle pointed me to your blog tonight. I haven't had time to read blog posts today, so glad I got to yours.

(I don't take the time to reflect in writing and share it with the world . . . but that's why she needs to be writing the next PD book we can read together!) <br /><br />I'm so glad you jumped in and are excited about writing. It quite honestly will make you a better teacher. (By the way, what do you teach?) You live it. You breathe it. You understand the triumphs and the struggles. Enjoy your moment -- I know Katherine will too!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04822472844833732246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692381227518715081.post-33059695229532587432013-07-09T22:43:42.815-04:002013-07-09T22:43:42.815-04:00Your happy celebrations of firsts was a joy to rea...Your happy celebrations of firsts was a joy to read! writekimwritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02910094603036735657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692381227518715081.post-23708028891420981822013-07-09T20:51:31.855-04:002013-07-09T20:51:31.855-04:00I've been struggling with using a writer's...I've been struggling with using a writer's notebook and implementing them with my students as well... love the "firsts" list idea! It sounds like you've ha a wonderful batch of "firsts" with your blog! I've been blogging for a while now, but a list of firsts sounds like a fun way to reflect on my experience... I think I'll put this in my list of slice ideas! Can't wait to try it! (And so glad you got to connect with someone who's been so inspirational to you! I know I still get really excited when Ruth or Stacey comments on my blog!)JenniferMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603450967368808356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692381227518715081.post-30273419504160985332013-07-09T20:11:03.003-04:002013-07-09T20:11:03.003-04:00What a wonderful celebration of a mentor!

Their comments enliven and refresh my teaching journey each week. I think I connected first to Elsie when I learned she was from Missouri. I now live in Washington, but grew up in Oklahoma.
