It's amazing what students can produce when given mentor texts and the freedom to be creative. Thanks for the inspiration Linda Rief @RebekahODell1 Allison Marchetti ! #literacyworkshop #quickwrite #studentvoice

Last day before maternity leave starts & could not ask for a better Literacy Workshop class. Students were so into their quick write & inspired me with what they could produce in only 5 minutes! #writingwithmentors #mentortexts #quickwrites @RebekahODell1 Allison Marchetti

Literacy Workshop students had a blast building Gratitude Towers today to reflect on all they are grateful for!

Super disappointed in the quality of my new ATHLETA breezy tees and tanks. Only wore one time and all are super pilly and look like they are years old. I’ve been a huge athleta fan for years and haven’t minded paying a little more for quality, but I’m not so sure anymore…😩
