Treats
1. I found out that I'll be attending a Schools Attuned workshop once a week until the second week in May. Lovely. I get a day out of the middle school but I don't have to spend that day listening to Lucy Calkins and her cronies or to the ho-hum "Differentiated Instruction" facilitators. Those were my only workshop options before now, and I always passed.
2. Poetry Month begins next week and my poetry unit is looking mighty fine with the help from "Reading, Writing, and Rising Up" which I picked up when I attended a Q&A discussion with Rethinking Schools editor Linda Christensen her last week. She's pretty amazing, if you ask me.
3. I went on an Amazon Marketplace shopping spree. Wanna see what I got?

ah yes, that's a great book, i used it as a resource for my girls' writing group. good luck!
I did Schools Attuned. I did a week-long summer workshop, and then two daylong sessions during the school year. I found it to be a rewarding professional development experience.
I love that book. I'm working on my poetry unit, too ... and still trying to decide what to put in my pocket for 'Poem in Your Pocket Day' ...

I really like Mel Levine. But the facilitators at the workshop left much to be desired. They are as boring as it gets.

Poem In Your Pocket Day was a disaster last year. The students can be so unamused.... I'm thinking of making some kind of game (with rewards) out of it.
