      It's hard to express what this SOL community has meant in just support for writing but it was wonderful to have comments for my emotional needs at this time. Thanks! Sue

      Deb, thanks so much for your prayers, and your visit! You just don't know how much that meant to me. I was truly shocked to see you there. It was very comforting to know you cared. Thanks so much(I've known it all along, but in a time like this it is magnified). Love, Sue

    This is such a hard time for a family, whether you are "prepared" for it or not. I am so sorry.

      I guess you can never truly be "prepared". I know I will miss him but I wouldn't him back to suffer. I know he is in a better place. Thanks so much! Sue

March 31, 2011 Celebrate!

My class is preparing to celebrate the end of the slice of life challenge tomorrow.   We’ll discuss how it felt to write every day and I’ll have them write down what really mattered to them. A reflection. Then they will have a chance to eat slices of things we chose to bring for tomorrow.   Things like: slices of pizza, cake, oranges, apples, kiwi, bananas, and pineapple. Life is like that.   It is mixed up and crazy. You can’t count on everything being alike or the same.   We would get bored if it was always the same.

Slice of Life Tuesday 2nd one April 12, 2011 Persuasive Research continued

Today I feel somewhat overwhelmed.   We have less than 8 weeks of school left and so much to do.   I am working on a persuasive research piece with my students and today we began reviewing taking notes, paraphrasing and summarizing.   I gave the students some information about their topics so they could take some notes today and possibly tonight so I can help them with their notes tomorrow. I plan to review bibliography so if they are researching, they won’t forget to get the information they need for their bibliography.   It has helped students in the past; otherwise they get to the end and have forgotten where their information came from.   I give them a worksheet to keep track of the information in the correct order. Most of the students have chosen within about eight different topics.   They seem to be pretty passionate about their topic as I discuss it with them. I find as I talk with them and have their three arguments written down that they have a...
