NYC Teacher had a very nice post. Thanks for pointing this one out.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to the other post. I started my blog for that exact reason. If I am going to ask my students to write each day, I need to also. I have now written at least once a day since I began in February! Thanks for all the helpful info on your blog.
