PDE conference day 3 was just as amazing as the first 2! Wowed and moved to tears when watching Dan Habib's movie- Mr. Connolly Has ALS. This is a MUST see for everyone & so powerful! #pde2019@_danhabib
Day 2 of PDE conference & another inspiring day! Loved the message from Drew Dudley to attack each day with love and enthusiasm like it's your first day! #pde2019#THISISDAYONE
Attending PDE conference in Hershey & am loving the the information that is coming at me! Paul Hernandez, Ph.D. was so motivating & made it real! #pdeconference
Excited to see what I will learn and use in my classroom from our DIS book study. This quote has me thinking, Learning and innovation go hand in hand. The arrogance of success is to think what you did yesterday will be sufficient for tomorrow. #InnovatorsMindset#alwayslearning
Excited to use MENTOR sentences after hearing from @reckj . What a fabulous way to model quality writing, share literature, teach grammar, and expand sentences into writing pieces. #MULit18 @aileenhower
Reminded of the value of MENTOR texts today! Sidewalk Flowers, Windows, Blue Bird, & Crown-an Ode to the Fresh Cut just to name a few. Why am I not using these more? Now one of my new goals! #MULit18 @aileenhower
TDA's & writing assignments -eat the elephant one bite at a time! Teach the students how to do one thing really well before moving on! #MULit18 @aileenhower
Feeling so inspired after today's speakers! The writing we did today took me on a personal writing journey and has given me ideas of how to do the same for my students! So amazing! Favorite day so far! #MULit18 @aileenhower @anneschober
Today again stressed the power of conferencing with students when writing. Need to remember to praise, ponder, polish and have the students do the thinking & the work! #MULit18 @aileenhower
@santo_reads @aileenhower These past 2 days have been such a great reminder about the importance of students seeing us as writers! Something I need to work on! Thanks for the reminder! #MULit18
So much great information from today's class and Shawna Coppola to digest. One idea being for teachers to revise how we define and teach writing. Student writers in a true writer's workshop choose what, how, and for whom they are writing. #studentsmakethedecisions#MULit18
Setting up my Twitter account for my grad class which starts next week. Ready to learn new things to take back to my classroom! #myfirstTweet#MULit18 @aileenhower
