Here it is, my newly purchased writer's notebook for the summer of 2013. It is day one of Kate Messner's Teacher's Write. It is an on-line virtual summer writing camp of mini-lessons, inspiration and guidance that Kate along with Jo Knowles, Gae Polisner and Jen Vincent guide us who want to improve on our writing and craft. I had very few journals to choose from at the local bookstore, but I needed to purchase one to keep at pace with my summer goal, and day one's assignment. I couldn't fall behind on day one. As I look more closely at the cover; the key, heart, flowers and the word "dream" in the lower with hand corner, it symbolizes my goals as a writer. I want to unlock my heart and write what is inside of me. I want my writing to bloom and transform like a flower, and I dream of the possibilities that await me. As I take on the task of daily writing I will focus on myself and think of my students and the challenges I ask them to tackle everyday. I am eager to learn, reflect and grow in my daily writing.
I love your new notebook. I went shopping for a new one today, too. I looked but did not fall in love. It's not like I needed one anyway--I have a gazillion. I bought new markers instead. I want to play with color in my words. Best wishes with Teachers Write. Your blog looks beautiful!
