This morning, when we re-read Bedhead looking for how the punctuation and conventions affected our reading, I was skeptical at first. I didn’t really want to do it again. Then I noticed and started writing down. I was blown away at how challenging it was to try to use this punctuation as a model, but I loved it! I love the potential ideas for what I could do with it in my classroom! I love the beginning of the conversation about conventions that it will begin! I did bring up a potential problem with grammar teaching in context versus grammar teaching from handbooks. I got the answer I wanted. J
The visualization was another big moment for me. I really loved the window assignment. It brought me to so many beautiful memories, and it may have given me a way to talk about my memories of my dad.
I learned so much from my writing group today too. With my group’s encouragement, I am eager to work further on a piece I thought I was done with. My group’s thoughtful comments gave me several good ideas to work with.
