It's Year 10!! #cyperPD

It's been a loooong last few months of school this year.

I'm looking forward to saying goodbye. Closing this short chapter and moving forward.

Hello Summer!

Time to just be in the moment and to read what I want without so many distractions of having to be online. I know there is so much more going on in the world right now. But we need to stay strong together. To learn and grow. To help our country move forward. To change. To be the change. Books can help us on that journey ...

Our #cyberPD group is back yet again for a summer of reading and learning together. The book selected is always one of my favorite PD books that opens the door to conversations to help me grow as a person and educator. Here are the books we have read together over the last nine years:

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 ...

soLs: a week

Slice of Life Stories hosted by the Two Writing Teachers I can't believe it's already been one whole week. Sometimes vacations are over in a blink, but other times vacations move slowly to enjoy every moment. That's how this vacation is going - slowly, but with so much to enjoy. Of course, it is hard being away from home and the every-day-usual, but what I have truly enjoyed the most is the evenings. After the girls are tucked in bed, it becomes my time to do what I choose to do because I have NO to-do list! Nothing! No cleaning, no laundry (thanks Mom!), no dinner (thanks Dad!), no dishes, no nothing. Instead I have guilt-free time to read books, browse Twitter, catch up on blog reading, scrounge...

soLs: a (proud) little secret

Slice of Life Stories hosted by the Two Writing Teachers Come here. Come closer. I have a secret to share with you. I'm really excited about it and I haven't told anyone except my mom , my hubby, and my friend, colleague, and writing buddy . I receive notifications of comments on my blog on my email at school. I think all of you will agree, it's always exciting to see that a new comment was left behind. It never gets old. Everyone loves a visitor, a voice that let's you know that you've been heard, and a comment that keeps you writing. I know I don't say it enough, but I really appreciate when YOU stop by and YOU leave a little note because YOU matter to me. Most comments pour in on Tuesday as slicers are doing their very best to read and leave a supportive note that day. A few comments tr...
