What have you written lately?  I am looking for more comments about writing by my writers.  Tell each other what you think. 

Post your writing for this month here.

Today in class, all seventh and eighth graders read  “Where I’m From” by George Ella Lyon.  Post your writing based on that poem here. 

Ask your parents if you don’t know what that title means. 

In class Thursday, we wrote about fame before we read Naomi Shihab Nye’s poem “Famous.”  Share here your thoughts on fame or your writing in response to the poem.

Welcome to the fourth six weeks. 

I hope everyone has a very happy holiday and a great vacation.  I know I will.  I will miss some of you.  Just kidding (No, I’m not.)

Shaye and Sarah-so good to hear from two of my favorite girls!  I hope GC is tons of fun.  I know Santa will treat you two and everyone else in your class well this Christmas.  Shaye, maybe Santa will give you your first teacher’s edition book this year.  How cool would that be?  I miss ya’ll a bunch-love ya!
