Even though school has ended for my students, my learning journey continues!  My district offered a wonderful weeklong institute called the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project.   Mary Ehrenworth was the lead writer at this institute.  She was inspirational!  Photo by Mrs. Yollis I just completed the program, and I could not be more excited about teaching writing in the fall! Now, that says it all! Here are my tweets from the week collected in a Storify. Scroll through them if you are interested. Tweeting helps me think about what I'm learning, I can share learning with friends, and then I have a resource to quickly refresh my memory about what I've learned.
