....zzzz....zzzz....

I have been going to bed so early lately, and I just haven't had the mental energy to blog even though I have so many things to share with you! Instead of sharing them now, I will make a list of things I'm going to tell you about, so that I'm inspired to write about them soon:

The Success of Close Reading
Planning out the Quarter in the ISN
Using NoRedInk for Practice
The First Shared Inquiry of the Year
Teaching the Art of Argument with Model Texts
Using Writing to Teach Grammar
Prepping for Parent Teacher Conferences

Which one do you want to hear about most?

Are the rest of you wiped out as the whirlwind of the beginning of the school year is finally settling? We are almost done with the quarter, parent teacher conferences are next week, and drama starts up soon, so I need to buck up and get some energy back. How do you keep your energy up?

    Close reading!!! I'd loveee some stuff on that! Energy? I don't have any. I go to bed super late (adjusting to this new job) and wake up at 5:30 am. I need help with energy too!

    I would love to know how you teach grammar through writing. Teaching grammar is the hardest thing to fit into my day!

    They all sound good! I'm new to the ISN and never seem to make my plans match the reality, so planning ahead would be great. Or teaching grammar or close reading.

    Girl, I've been going to bed before 9pm for a few weeks now. Just can't seem to get enough sleep! I'd love to see the grammar used in writing :)

    I'm going to be starting Close reading this week. I hope I do it justice. After looking at Heather's blog and your class notes, I am a little less stressed.

    Energy? I drink SPARK by Advocare. It seriously has changed the way I feel on a daily basis. (It's healthier2spark.com)

Before the School Year Begins...

I decided that before I can start posting about what I'm doing this year, I needed to share some of my favorite strategies from last year that went really well with the students. I was completely inspired by Kelly Gallagher after reading devouring all of his books at the beginning of the school year! I had the opportunity to go to a Kelly Gallagher workshop at Judson this spring, and it was absolutely amazing! He was so nice when I went up to him (I was terrified and starstruck), and even wrote "You're Welcome" on this piece of paper, because my students actually asked me to THANK HIM for changing the way we read novels in class.  Students + asked me + to say thank you to an author + about school stuff = UTOPIA! Here are some of my abbreviated notes from the day: His TOP Points: Kids should write 4X more than you can physically grade  Students suffer from word poverty. Must get students reading more in order to be exposed to vocabulary. We ne

Writing Notebook: Finishing up "Write Ideas" and first Invitation: AAAWWUBBIS!

Happy Monday!! Today I am continuing on with the Writer's Notebook! Last time I left off, students had just finished their "100 Things I Love". After that, students completed their writing territories, which I got from Nancie Atwell's book   Lessons That Change Writers.  We spent the first day discussing writing territories out loud, going through the list in detail, so that students had ideas of what to write about. I told them to think of it like the caption for a picture. One to two sentences that could become something more. Students had to complete this for homework. We also completely numbered our table of contents so that we could add in sections and start working in other parts of the notebook.  Students wrote their writing territories on these pages. Then we moved on to the Writer's Eye (I). Students had to place terms that described them within their "I" or around their "Eye". I created my o
