Five Minute Friday: {writer}

{writer}


am i a writer?

writers write
with ease
and beauty
weaving 
words
with wonder

writers wait
writers think
writers write
writers erase
writers start over
writers give up
writers cry
writers try again
writers play
writers wonder
writers dream
writers laugh
writers share
writers celebrate

with wonder
words
weave
with beauty
and ease
writers write

i am a writer.

Ruth Ayres originally introduced me to 
the Five Minute Friday  writing challenge hosted by Lisa-Jo Baker.
The challenge is to write for five minutes on a given word.  Just write.
This is my first attempt.  Today I thought I was only writing to the prompt, 
but decided to link up anyway.

    What a great post! Love the way ideas seem to jump out during that 5 minute writing challenge. Last night I was feeling stuck when writing a post, and I thought abut 5 minute Friday. So I challenged myself to my own little 5 minute writing challenge based on what I learned from doing these!

    Congrats on being a writer! :)

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.

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."

She shares how we can use research ...

{#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...
