| Reading student notebooks over tea and toast while laundry taunts me from the right |
Despite this looming pile, I really do love reading my students' notebooks. It helps me get to know them better and also see those treasured nuggets of wisdom that are often revealed when they embrace the mantra that "writing is thinking."
So I'm going to cut today's celebration post short. I have lots of notebooks to read and writers to nurture.

Yay for the notebooks! I think it's a great way to begin the weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful, Beth. One time thing I did, FYI, is spread the notebooks due dates out through the week so I had a few each day to read and respond to. Just thought I'd share. Love that you do these.
ReplyDeleteSo many notes, so little time. Have fun reading them and getting to know your students. Did you haul these home?
ReplyDeleteYou know, I am actually looking forward to being able to do this again next week!
ReplyDeleteWriters to nurture . . . important work!
ReplyDeleteYour zest for getting to know your students comes through loud and clear in your post. Hope you got the laundry done quickly!
