Waiting
One more week until spring break
Spring weather is questionable

Sneak peeks of some bright glow in a blue sky
Quickly gray clouds move in
More rain slowly melts the piles of snow

Not ready to shed my layers
Still covering up every square inch of skin
Knowing soon those warmer temps will arrive

And then I will be happy to close my eyes
Turn my head up to the clear blue sky
Absorb the warmth of the sun

Breath in the fresh, spring air
But until then, I'll be
Waiting

    Wishing you some peaceful days of waiting. Ours is finally here and I am ever so grateful for it. :)

    Waiting, yes. Spring is here one day and gone the next - just a tease of things to come. Anticipation of those warm days and fresh air. I'm waiting with you. So hurry up spring (especially by Michelle) so we can have warm temps when we arrive.

    Your poem captured the length of our waiting....and also the reassurance of its arrival...whenever that may be, we are ready.

    I can almost feel the sun shining on me now when I read---
    "And then I will be happy to close my eyes
    Turn my head up to the clear blue sky
    Absorb the warmth of the sun"

    I am not wanting to shed my layers of clothes either---at least not until I shed some layers of fat I have gained over the winter.!

    I have discovered that spring weather is really my favorite season. I enjoyed your slice capturing the anticipation for spring. I just read Elsie's poem (http://lcinmo.wordpress.com/2013/03/16/just-for-a-day/) and it was a perfect one to pair with yours. Enjoy your spring break. Mine is also coming up after one more week of school.

    Two things to look forward -spring and break. I hope that you will have plenty of time to go out and let the sun shine on you.

    I am slightly jealous that you only have one week to wait, but I am hoping for even warmer weather when our break rolls around (the week of April 8th!).

    The anticipation is almost as wonderful as the time off (just keep telling yourself that for the next week anyway).

    We have spring break next week too, and like you, I am ready and waiting! When I walked the dog this afternoon, I saw crocuses! I think we won't have to wait much longer! Yippee!

    Waiting.
    Soon the coat will be off and you will be chasing your daughters threw sun beams.

    Next week! Maybe the weather won't be there, but the day will be! Nice to show the feelings of all of us, Michelle. I know I'm very ready to shed my coats and swathers. Have a terrific spring break!

Picture Books I Love Right Now! #pb10for10

Check out other favorite Picture Book Lists #pb10for10 ______________________________________________________________ As we finish up our summer #cyberPD conversations, I'm quickly reminded that August is right around the corner and I need to start thinking about my picture book list to share. Ten books I love. Ten books I want to share. Ten books that I can't live without in my classroom. Ten books. I love coming up with lists of picture books I adore for various reasons. However, this year I came up with the most brilliant idea! (Well, at least I thought it was brilliant!)  Here are the picture books I can't live without  ... because these are the LAST 10(+3)  picture books I most recently purchased!  ______________________________________________________________ 1.  If I Built a School   by Chris Van Dusen My daughters read If I Built a House and If I Built a Car over and over and over.

{#sol15} deeper than beauty 8/31

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters.  I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem. First of all, because I don't want them to believe everything that society says is true.  Even if they don't fully understand it today.  In addition, because they are fraternal twin sisters, I want them to understand they are individuals with unique and different bodies that God created for each of them.   However, society -- including my loving family and friends -- tell a different story and harmlessly create a comparison war.   My girls constantly hear how beautiful, adorable, cute, fill-i...

An Interview with Educator/Momma/Writer Ruth Ayres Celebrating #EnticingWriters + Giveaway!

I love sharing book titles with close friends, so I'm happy you are here! I want to share a book that you must add to your to-be-read list. Ruth Ayres has a brand new book titled  Enticing Hard-To-Reach Writers   published by Stenhouse Publishers. It's another must read from Ruth. There are many professional development books available to learn about mastering our craft of teaching.   However, there are only a few that make a true impact -- and this is one book that weaves raw truth, research, practical ideas, and story all in one {cute} little package.  In  Enticing Hard-To-Reach Writers , Ruth allows her worlds to collide during the creation:  "In this book, I entwine my three story lines as educator, momma, and writer." (p. 6) And she does this in an amazing way through sharing stories of her family, adoption, children living in hard places -- and doing their best  -- and healing. She shares how we can use research ...
