We'd keep an eye out for an interesting thing and then glue it into our journals and write. That was a fun way to begin for us.Lee Ann Spillanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04650009312001849617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7204430968023166999.post-17095296310747164412013-06-19T09:05:00.362-04:002013-06-19T09:05:00.362-04:00Oh the delight of anticipation.

I was just reading the Papyrus blurb about the hummingbird to Mom the other day (we'd gotten Papyrus greeting cards for Father's Day) and telling her how using it as a mentor text for writing about our own animal symbols might be fun for the start of the new school year.

Your journaling learning sounds delightful! Hopefully I will be able to be more active with TeachersWrite this summer and I'll "see" you there! I agree that this type of learning is so refreshing and energizing. Right now I'm participating in my local Writing Project's Summer Institute, and it's a LOT of work, but it's also inspiring, encouraging, and invigorating!

While I too consider this a gift, I think many think we are paid for our time off. You articulated beautifully the work that goes on in the summer. I am looking forward to much learning: #cyberPD, #teacherswrite, the Stenhouse blogstitute, and my huge stack of professional reading.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233792477358685156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7204430968023166999.post-4236647536990056392013-06-18T20:23:23.199-04:002013-06-18T20:23:23.199-04:00Illustrated journals; what a wonderful idea!

It's not a lazy time at all, but a time to think about the year that's just passed and think ahead about the new year.

I am hoping to do some sketching as part of that process and I want to use a notebook mascot like Corbett Harrison uses (The Writing Fix). I loved Teachers Write last year and am excited to participate again this year.

Thanks for that part, Lee Ann, and hope you have a wonderful time with family too. The journaling sounds wonderful, especially with the supplies!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.com
