I’m trying to get a better handle on who will be participating in the Classroom Slice of Life Story Challenge this-coming March. Would you mind taking this poll below. Please leave a comment BELOW if you’ve done the Challenge using blogswith your students for at least one of the past March challenges. (I’d like to chat with you.) Thank you!
I am a literacy consultant who focuses on writing workshop. I've been working with K-6 teachers and students since 2009. Prior to that, I was a fourth and fifth-grade teacher in New York City and Rhode Island.
I'm the author of Craft Moves (Stenhouse Publishers, 2016) and the co-author of Jump Into Writing (Zaner-Bloser, 2021), Welcome to Writing Workshop (Stenhouse Publishers, 2019), and Day By Day (Stenhouse, 2010).
I live in Central Pennsylvania with my husband and children. In my free time, I enjoy swimming, doing Pilates, cooking, baking, making ice cream, and reading novels.

I knew I wouldn’t be sorry if I wrote tonight. Tomorrow I will have four children, instead of three, sleeping in my house. Tonight marks the line between old and new.
I was truly moved by Richard Blanco’s inaugural poem. Please listen to it, read it, and check out my reflection. I want to link common images in powerful ways like he does. Wow!
Hello! For a couple of years I’ve blogged with my 7th graders. This year (sadly) we are not doing it for the sake of a curriculum study. I’m going to offer blogging as a club and try to encourage students to participate. We’ll see how it goes! I’d love to share any insight and perhaps you’ll find it useful!
My posts so far this year seem to focus on my OLW–Joy. Today’s post is about a small revolution taking place in my classroom, all thanks to a simple idea from Penny Kittle. Who knew 10 minutes was all it took http://deb-day.blogspot.com/2013/01/10-minute-revolution.html
I really need to write a slice later today about this cold/flu that has turned my life upside down this week….but I also want to share this little slice of my family life from Sunday morning before this cold brought me to my knees and when I possibly caught this cold! http://drferreri.blogspot.com/2013/01/modus-operandi.html
Still thinking about making decisions in the classroom, referring to last week’s post & Ruth’s older post “how do you know”-http://teacherdance.blogspot.com/2013/01/more-of-how-do-you-know.html
I hope you try and solve the mystery of my post. I love using primary sources with students. Think Common Core when you read the post. If you do the lesson with your class you might want to have a discussion about people purchasing sacred objects. Should artifacts important to other cultures be sold to public or private collectors?
