Celebrating Writing

I just participated in a Twitter Chat, Teach and Celebrate Writers (#TandCwriters), and I left inspired.
Join in on the chat next month!  It was fabulous!

I have been doing odds and ends today getting things ready for my class.  We start back to school in 3 days!  I am so excited and I cannot wait to meet my kids!  As a get to know you activity, I decided to introduce some poetry right off the bat.  I am going to have my students write "Selfie" poems.  Now, I am young, but I still am not the biggest fan of these selfies! But, I think the kids will love it!  Here is mine to share with all of you!
