		<title>Commas and Because</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have spent most of the day putting in a comma and the rest of the day taking it out. 
— Oscar Wilde
 
This quote reminds me of my students and the comma. Once taught, they want to put the comma everywhere. I would like to know about commas and the word because. I know that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hey2teacher.wordpress.com&blog=1441323&post=302&subd=hey2teacher&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>How Often?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How often do you take up writer&#8217;s notebooks?
I am trying to decide this b/c I have 88 students. I want to figure out a system that I can use so that I am not bogged down. It would be simple if I didn&#8217;t take up 48 response logs every week with 6th grade. I have [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hey2teacher.wordpress.com&blog=1441323&post=300&subd=hey2teacher&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Getting the Hang of it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[School seems to be going pretty smoothly for me now. We have been in school for about 4 weeks. In each 6th grade class I have 24 students, which I am used to 18-20. I am amazed of how well my new middle school students are getting the hang of &#8220;middle school.&#8221; They love writing [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hey2teacher.wordpress.com&blog=1441323&post=296&subd=hey2teacher&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Writing Workshop Questions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am in the process of revamping my writer&#8217;s workshop because it is not working for me. I am curious to how you manage your writer&#8217;s workshop. I teach middle school so time is a factor. I have read that it needs to be at a consistent time each week&#8211;whether you do it 3 days [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hey2teacher.wordpress.com&blog=1441323&post=294&subd=hey2teacher&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>My Summer is Nearing to an End</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Next week is my last week of being lazy. I can&#8217;t believe how fast the summer went. The crazy thing is&#8211;I don&#8217;t feel ready for the school year to begin. I haven&#8217;t planned a thing. I kinda got side-tracked, but for a good cause. I found out on July 3rd that I was pregnant. Since [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hey2teacher.wordpress.com&blog=1441323&post=292&subd=hey2teacher&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Parmesan Pesto Chicken</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tonight I cooked something new&#8211;Parmesan pesto chicken!  Wow! It was delicious. I got the recipe from Better Homes and Gardens 100 Best Chicken Recipes 2003. I made the pesto using sweet basil from my garden. The chicken was so tender and juicy. I paired it with pine nut couscous, steamed fresh zucchini and yellow squash.

		<title>Dog Days</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dog
Days of
My summer
Slowly evolve
With lazy escapes
Under the sunny skies
Sun-kissed skin glistening bright
Afternoons quickly rush evenings
Of buzzing, chirping, and nightly sounds
Bringing contentment close to you daily
 
I wrote this etheree today at our annual writing marathon for The West Tennessee Writing Project. It was fun getting into groups and writing. I got to meet new people and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hey2teacher.wordpress.com&blog=1441323&post=290&subd=hey2teacher&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Wrapping Up 2007-2008 School Year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I wrapped up all of the loose ends. I ended the school year by locking my door at 3:00. I checked out. The process of checking out is tedious, but worth it in August. I have to take everything down from the walls, wash the book cases &#38; dry erase boards, take down bulletin [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hey2teacher.wordpress.com&blog=1441323&post=289&subd=hey2teacher&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>An Odd Feeling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I came home from organizing my classroom to an empty house. It was an odd feeling because no one was here to greet me as I walked in. Usually my two dogs, Belle and Mimi, are wagging their tails and smiling when I arrive. It&#8217;s going to be this way for a few days [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hey2teacher.wordpress.com&blog=1441323&post=288&subd=hey2teacher&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The End for Now</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The 2007-2008 school year is over! Last Friday was the last day of school. It went by so fast this year, but I am glad it&#8217;s over. I am ready for some R &#38; R. The only thing about the end of the year is the process of packing up everything. At my school we have [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hey2teacher.wordpress.com&blog=1441323&post=287&subd=hey2teacher&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
