I'm Tired!

I’m tired.
Muscles throbbing,
Fingers aching,
Feet hurting,
Neck stiffening,
Eyes drooping,
Head dropping,
Mind thinking…
Time for napping,
Time for sleeping,
Time for reading,
Time for resting,
No more posting…
I’m tired!
 
Thanks so much for a truly wonderful month with the Slice of Life community! It was challenging, but I felt like I was doing what I expect my students to do – to live a writerly life and write in a notebook every day. To that end, I hope to join the SOL community on Tuesdays.  I loved reading all the writing and visited many more than I was able to leave a response, but read and enjoyed, nonetheless – so many new ideas for scaffolds, interesting topics, glimpses into the lives of these wonderful educators from all over the country.  I will miss all of you!


I’ll also write for www.mentortextswithlynneandrose.com  to talk about classroom work, mentor texts, and writing workshop. Diane and I will blog on our site https://dianeandlynne.wordpress.com  to write tips for embedding grammar and conventions as well as snippets of our work on formative assessment in writing workshop.   The PA Writing & Literature Project has a retired writers’ group that meets once a month. We have about 35 members.  I can’t wait to share my experiences with them. I’m sure some will try it next year.  Many thanks to the twowritingteachers team. Brava!

Lynne - I am so glad we both joined this year as first timers. I have loved getting to know you through your posts and I have learned so much from you in terms of craft. Thank you for your thoughtful responses to my posts as well. I have loved connecting every day this month -- 'til Tuesday.

Glad you joined this year! You have a special knack for poetry which showed in many of your slices (but I think I already knew that).

Lynne, you are an inspiration. Your comments are always helpful and thoughtfully expressed. As I said in my post, I thank you for nagging me into doing this.

    Lynne loves to write in the early morning hours, especially in warm weather when she can sit outside on the patio.  After a walk with her three Welsh Corgis, her mind is cleared and her spirit is inspired by the choir of birds in nearby bushes and trrees.
