		<title>Poetry Project</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have loved teaching poetry in my class.  We have been creating a poetry unit on Native Americans of North Carolina which is what we are studying in Social Studies.  For language arts we are reading pourquoi tales.  I cannot believe how well everything is integrating.  The students are absolutely loving this project.  Students have been [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=southerncandee.wordpress.com&blog=4664542&post=217&subd=southerncandee&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>To Dance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I loved this graphic novel.  I think it would be an excellent way to get non-motivated readers involved in reading.  Some students think books such as this one are not allowed into the classroom.  I think some teachers are reluctant to put graphic novels in their classroom because they think these are all the students [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=southerncandee.wordpress.com&blog=4664542&post=215&subd=southerncandee&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Family Pictures</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thought this was a excellent multicultural memoir.  I loved how the pictures flowed so perfectly with the words.  As I was reading I thought about how I might could use this book in my classroom.  I thought it might be great to use this book during Cinco de Mayo.  I always do some type [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=southerncandee.wordpress.com&blog=4664542&post=213&subd=southerncandee&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Shortcut</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This was a very simple book that could teach a lesson to any child.  It is hard for me to imagine why anyone would want to walk along train tracks.  Not even a year ago my uncle (father&#8217;s brother) was killed by a train.  This story related to me in a much different way than [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=southerncandee.wordpress.com&blog=4664542&post=194&subd=southerncandee&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>My Rotten Redheaded Older Brother</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This was such a cute story.  As I was reading I thought back to my childhood.  I have a brother who is 14months older than me.  He would always call me names, just because he could, when we were little.  My mother said as soon as I came home from the hospital he was angry that he [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=southerncandee.wordpress.com&blog=4664542&post=190&subd=southerncandee&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Red Ribbon Week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So as my students and I were putting up our door decorations for Red Ribbon Week I glanced to my neighbor&#8217;s door.  She was putting up tombstones with writing on them.  Each tombstone was created by a child.  They had make believe characters and reasons that they had &#8220;died.&#8221;  The reasons were all related to drugs.  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=southerncandee.wordpress.com&blog=4664542&post=188&subd=southerncandee&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Diary writing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So my students are still loving their diary writing.  They voted to call it a diary.  Sometimes they even want to write during silent reading time.  We shared some of our entries the other day.  Before we shared our entries I had a little girl ask me to read hers to myself.  She had written about how [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=southerncandee.wordpress.com&blog=4664542&post=185&subd=southerncandee&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Writing Without Boundaries p 105-end</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I feel that, as stated on page 106, I too am very critical of taking on a new project such as multi genre writing.  It&#8217;s not that I wouldn&#8217;t want to do this in my classroom.  Do they really relate to the curriculum?  Will students get everything they need to succeed on the writing assessments?  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=southerncandee.wordpress.com&blog=4664542&post=177&subd=southerncandee&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Multigenre Project</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was thinking about our 4th grade curriculum and pondered the idea of doing pirates.  However, I&#8217;ve been thinking of doing something that I could use with many different grades.  I&#8217;m not exactly sure what grade level I will be in next year (this is always up in the air with ILTs and especially with [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=southerncandee.wordpress.com&blog=4664542&post=165&subd=southerncandee&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
