A Rebirth

An unimaginably awesome event has occurred for Kim and I, and we owe it completely to Kim's proposal writing skills. We have been selected to present at the North Texas Visioning Consortium Conference in July. We will be presenting on the power of feedback in reading and writing workshop models as a means to develop stronger readers and writers. This is a topic near and dear to both of our hearts, and preparation is underway! I'm sure on this journey we will uncover new treasures as we sift through our old favorite professional development books and go broke purchasing those on our wish lists. What a great excuse, right?

It reminds us how excited we are for the possibilities of this blog. My goal is to be transparent and relatable, so I will be taking a more reflective, journaling approach. I'll show you what worked for my kiddos right along with what didn't. I hope you will find your time spent here with us as worthwhile and encouraging, and I hope you reach out and connect with us through the site, email, or Twitter. After all, we're all in this wonderful, crazy world of educating young minds together.
