demo and Elbow and Reading group

I enjoyed Mindy's demo. Again, I can see how to apply this in 3rd grade.

The discussions on Elbow were interesting. I think it is difficult to "be all you can be" in Elbowology. But if you could you would be able to say you are an "Elbowologist!"

I loved the reading last night in Writing Through Childhood. I didn't know how to teach poetry but now I do. We (Hocking Hills teachers) have many ideas about how to publish students best work. We discussed having students poems read over the announcements, included in the school newsletter and displayed in the showcase. We also discussed blogging. Hmmmmm! Maybe even a school wide anthology of Poetry.
