Let’s Plan A Unit! Mentor Texts and Anxiety​ | Mr. Anderson Reads & Writes

https://mrandersonwrites.wordpress.com/2016/12/02/lets-plan-a-unit-mentor-texts-and-anxiety​

Mr Anderson Reads and Writes. A blog about teaching, education, and professional life. December 2, 2016. Let’s Plan A Unit! Mentor Texts and Anxiety. Just like pretty much everything else in teaching, planning for a unit is equal parts exhaustion and exuberance. A new unit is daunting. In one sense it’s sort of like the bags of holding. The difference between a successful unit and a bundle of lessons cobbled together comes down to skill and preparation. As a perfectionist. The middle of the unit is alway...

Rise | lit bits and pieces

https://litbitsandpieces.wordpress.com/2017/01/02/rise

Lit bits and pieces. Snippets of learning and life. January 2, 2017. January 3, 2017. Flight Envy. Pretty Parkin. Above the negativity, the naysayers, to make room for the wondrous. Above the noise, to a place of productive peace. Above the superficial, the shallow, to the real, the valuable. Above the fleeting, to the lasting. Above constraints, to the creative. Every day is new. Rise. Reach. Reflect: Rise is a verb. It’s an action, a choice. How might YOU rise and step forward in newness? Lol – I...

Writing is the painting of the voice -Voltaire-. Neighbors are a Blessing. August 16, 2016. This summer neighbors have been a real blessing to my family and I! Here are just a few examples of neighborly love:. We are trying to manage with just one car this summer. Mostly we have done well, but when I was in a training in another city, my wonderful neighbor Sabrina gave my daughter a ride to work! Reminder to self, post pictures real soon. 8220;Do you need eggs? Of course my answer is yes! One needed to g...

Firsts….. – atermis0249

https://atermis0249.wordpress.com/2016/03/31/firsts

Travel, love, and living life! March 31, 2016. I know I have taken a break from the challenge, I needed the rest. But I am back and I plan to finish out the month strong. The other day I was working in my writer’s notebook for my students and started a lists of ideas based on firsts. There is something magical about doing something for the first time:. Your first day of school. Your first day at a new job. Your first interview for your chosen career. Your first time living abroad. Lovely little snow man!

Why I write | lit bits and pieces

https://litbitsandpieces.wordpress.com/2016/10/18/why-i-write

Lit bits and pieces. Snippets of learning and life. October 18, 2016. December 4, 2016. I write because it’s the closest thing to magic that there is. From words spring worlds. I write because the narrative voice in my head is continuously composing, often drowning out other important things. I kept writing, even when my dad grumbled, “Why are you wasting so much notebook paper? Today, I write with children. I witness their discovery of their own voices, their courage in putting pieces of their souls...

What fun to be able to learn some of the history of your house! I am sure it’s beautiful, too, with those architectural details. I think it’s great that they moved the house rather than tearing it down! March 26, 2016 at 10:26 pm. I did not know that. March 26, 2016 at 10:29 pm. March 26, 2016 at 10:43 pm. I love your description! March 26, 2016 at 11:33 pm.

I can still hear my father saying,. 8220;No one can ever take away your education.”. An education is priceless and can never be taken away. My pa...
