As a writing teacher this hit home about inspiring writing within all my students. “What you say and don’t say matters. What you do or don’t do matters.”- Jeff Anderson @jeffanderson30

Personal narratives are probably the most important writing your students could EVER write about. It’s all about what matters to them! @jeffanderson30 @MesquiteReads #mesq4th #mesquiteliteracy @TomikaJohnson21 @PriceElem #pricedreamers

Learned some great ideas to use writing in creative ways and as a station. #pricedreamers @PriceElem @TomikaJohnson21
