This past weekend was the first Area 3 Writing Project Super Saturday and the big theme for the day was writing notebooks and getting started. Several of our teachers attended and I look forward to hearing all about their sessions, and our October 1st staff meeting will be all about notebooks! I also ran across this great post by Donalyn Miller-- Channeling Your Inner Nerd: Writing About Your Passions and after some thought I've decided I'm a writing nerd. What are you nerdy about? Leave a comment and write about it!
