LetsWrite2019: An Update

Well.  Let's look at these writing goals, shall we?

My writing list for 2019:

1.  Participate fully in the Slice of Life Challenge in March.  Well.  This did Not happen.  

2.  Keep a writer's notebook-some guided and some not.  Collect stories and thoughts here.  I am doing this.  A notebook and Google Keep are helping me gather ideas and stories.  

3.  Post here 2-3 times a week.  Link to Slice of Life and What Are you Reading?  Nope.  

Okay.  So what does this mean?  

I think it means I'm still re-finding my rhythm when it comes to writing.  Some things have happened this year that have me dreaming this year!  Including building Legacy Foundation for teachers, and some other ideas as well.  Writing definitely plays a role here.  I'm just relearning where.  

I'm brainstorming as I write this.  Here are some revised goals for 2019:

1.  Write everyday.  Some public and some not.  

2.  Continue to keep a notebook.  Keep collecting thoughts and stories.  

3.  A post here.  Post somewhere new?  Maybe the goal is to reflect on what the story is these days.  

On a side note, if I am reflecting, my One Little Word should probably be "Rhythm".  Or "Unsettled."  As I'm finding mine...again.  It is my favorite part of being an educator.  I'm not afraid of the disruption and the learning that is taking place.  

I'm so thankful for communities such as this, Leigh Anne, that help us to stay connected.  Thanks for going on this journey with me!  

Joy!

Must Read in 2019: An Update

Hi Friends!

It's been a good year of reading so far!  In the middle of the Midwest, we had terrible weather this late winter, and we spent many days on the couch reading.

As things have thawed and warmed up, I have fallen behind a bit in this last month to stay on pace, but I think I can catch up!

Currently Reading:



Just Finished:


Finished so far:








Up Next, Hopefully before April is over.  It is lofty, but I have 2 hours each week, where I am sitting at the park waiting for my Big Kid to finish soccer.  (I'm like the teenage version of Uber these days...but that is another blog post...) 



So.  2 of these books were in my original plan.  2 came from winter trips to the book store.  And 3 are a result of our book fair last week. 

Joy!
