Today is pajama day at school and I still have so much PTSD from the time that my mom accidentally sent me to school in my PJs on THE WRONG DAY that I packed an extra change of regular clothes in my bag *just in case* #truestory

One of my writers decided to add this post it to our chart of writing strategies. “Keep on writing even if you don’t know what to write just write”. I think all writers will agree this is sound advice ❤️ #tcrwp

Student: I can’t believe I forgot it was lunch time - that’s the best time of day! Rest of the class (in unison): No! The best time is writing workshop!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #tcrwp

Tell me you teach in NYC w/out telling me you teach in NYC. I’ll go first. Me: Let’s go around and say things we’re thankful for. Kid: I’m thankful for my super! Me too, kid. Me too.

I love this so much

Practicing predictions w/my French/English bilingual students: “I predict this story will have a happy ending because it’s an AMERICAN story. If it was a FRENCH story I would predict it would have a sad ending!” I guess #EmilyInParis was right about those French endings

Today I taught my students to write introductions to their reviews. Student: “intros are so fun! When are you going to teach us to write outros!?” ❤️❤️❤️ #tcrwp

I still vividly remember reading that part in the library corner of Ms. MacPhearson’s 4th grade class. And bawling my eyes out. And then bawling my eyes out again years later Teachers College, Columbia University when Katherine Applegate (kaaauthor.bsky.social) spoke abt the inspiration for that part 💔💔💔
