Student: ChatGBT said something about the explorers discovering the “new world” and I was like “uhm no chatGBT it wasn’t the ‘new world’ and they didn’t ‘discover’ it - the indigenous people had been living there for thousands of years!”

The kids are alright.

Soemthing new I started this year: A summer reading list for my outgoing 2nd graders! For the last 21 days of school, I am reading the first chapters of each book to give kids a taste of the writing style and characters. On the last day, they will each bring one home to cherish!

Louder for the “COVID’s over/it’s not a big deal/everyone’s gonna get it” crowd

[Savannah Brooks (on medical leave) @SBLitAgent]

As of today I ~officially~ have long COVID (as recognized by the CDC), so I wanna take a second to explain what’s happening. To set the stage: I’m 30, I’ve been an athlete my entire life, and I used to be extremely healthy, minus some pesky seasonal allergies. My resting heart 1/

I still vividly remember reading that part in the library corner of Ms. MacPhearson’s 4th grade class. And bawling my eyes out. And then bawling my eyes out again years later @TeachersCollege when @kaaauthor spoke abt the inspiration for that part 💔💔💔

Today I taught my students to write introductions to their reviews.

Student: “intros are so fun! When are you going to teach us to write outros!?”

Practicing predictions w/my French/English bilingual students:

“I predict this story will have a happy ending because it’s an AMERICAN story. If it was a FRENCH story I would predict it would have a sad ending!”

I guess #EmilyInParis was right about those French endings

A picture book spine poem for your Tuesday.

Dear diary,
I want to be the night gardener,
outside,
finding wild sidewalk flowers
stuck over and under the snow,
just because.

[Sara Weintraub (Berg) @missskbee]

Tell me you teach in NYC w/out telling me you teach in NYC. I’ll go first.

Me: Let’s go around and say things we’re thankful for.

Kid: I’m thankful for my super!

Me too, kid. Me too.

[Sara Weintraub (Berg) @missskbee]

Student: I can’t believe I forgot it was lunch time - that’s the best time of day!

Rest of the class (in unison): No! The best time is writing workshop!!!!

One of my writers decided to add this post it to our chart of writing strategies. “Keep on writing even if you don’t know what to write just write”. I think all writers will agree this is sound advice ❤️ #tcrwp
