We bought each other an air fryer for Christmas (it arrived yesterday) and had some delicious salmon and broccoli for our first air fryer dinner.

Ok I’ve been thinking about this since you posted the idea. I have a blank book that I got at a conference in October, and I’m going to try my best to write in it every day. Tracking national and state events, with weekly tracking of cost of eggs, milk, and gas, and inflation yoy rates.

Supporting a high school where it looks like the ELA teachers have taken on sole responsibilities for students’ literacy development. Literacy folks, what say you to this? How can I support these teachers and students moving forward?

that we developed, which has the generating, weaving, and curating portions.

Would those strategy instructional pieces fit largely under weaving, or possibly generating? What about curating? 2/2

My Literacy Friends book group is reading Disrupting Thinking by Beers and Prost, and today I'm wondering about how their instructional strategies, like book/head/heart, and notice and note signposts, might be integrated with the disciplinary literacy for English language arts heuristic 1/2

Today I learned that the Allerton Park Conference (1962) was focused on research ideas for the US govt funded program “Project English” (1961-68). Still working on the identity of ELATE founders who attended.

I learned today that 3-4 of the individuals who started the Conference on English Education in 1963-64 (now known as English Language Arts Teacher Educators — ELATE) attended the Allerton Park Conference on Research in the Teaching of English. Not sure of who they are, but I’m in pursuit of that!

Maybe third grade when I read The Hobbit. The first time reading LOTR was in 6th grade maybe? My favorite time reading LOTR was when I was hiking the AT in 2001. Such a great accompaniment to long days of hiking!
