In 2018, I toyed with the idea of digital writer’s notebooks. In 2019 I piloted it with just one class during the Writer Wednesday part of our weekly ELA warm ups. When we found ourselves in a global pandemic in 2020, I was glad I took that risk!
Student learning is no accident!

🤒We are isolating and quarantining and eating alphabet soup by @dreenaburton today. I have all of the lasagna parts, but not enough energy to make it happen! I can’t tell if I’m tired from getting up with a sick kid, worrying about getting sick or being the Easter bunny at midnight 🤷🏼♀️ #momlife I guess… ![]()

What kind of grammar crime is driving YOU crazy these days? Currently, so am obsessed with making sure students know exactly what words make up contractions. I had a few too many run ins with “could of” recently, and I am afraid it’s going to be around every corner... in every piece of student writing. 😬![]()
