Book Give Away

The blog http://writebrainedteacher.blogspot.com is giving away a book on conferring in a drawing. To qualify you have to leave a comment on the blog. She has several ways to enter and you can enter more than once. This book is available on line at Stenhouse for a preview. It looks interesting and I would sure love to win it, so I shall be making several comments on the blog. This is one of the ways to get entered.

Is Anyone Reading This?

Does anyone else check the Time Out for Trainers or is it just me hoping to read your thoughts and hear of the woes of the road (so I can know I am not alone). If no one comments then I will know I am the only one checking in every once in a while and I will stop rattling on.

But until that happens I would like to share some websites that you might find helpful or at least interesting. First, if you do not know of the Two Writing Teachers, you should check them out. They have a website http://www.twowritingteachers.com/ but it is their blog that has great ideas, thoughts, musings every day. You will find it at http://twowritingteachers.wordpress.com/
Check out Monday, Oct. 12 for a great You Tube video about one of the teacher's writer's notebook. I don't know how to move it here to show you, but it is good.

Also, here is another writing blogger you may be interested in http://writebrainedteacher.blogspot.com/ She is in Kansas City and often refers to the MAP test. Read back posts, they have some good stuff too.

Have you ever been to http://www.writingfix.com/ ?There are some good lessons and other things there.

Can you tell I have been reading lots of writing blogs and sites. Do you know of any that are good?

I'd like to hear from you!

Finally, I did something right, but not quite sure how I did it.
This is where the ceremony took place. It was so beautiful and fitting for the bride and groom. They are both geology students. So a wedding in the mountains is perfect.
