I used Jo Knowles Monday Morning warm-ups a lot! I hope she continues to post them. Another thing I saw on Twitter yesterday was Jody Feldman used it to randomly generate a phrase for her writing-don't you love technology?

I've enjoyed a few of those myself this summer by intentionally doing less and saying no. This summer was a delight. <br />I love the line - "Memories playing around in my mind." Hopefully those playful memories and summer's promise to return will carry us joyfully into this new school year. I always spend some time with my students kissing summer goodbye and then embracing festive fall. May I use your poem to introduce this activity?Ramonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929914252480696798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-85822164703038139602012-08-14T14:12:41.354-05:002012-08-14T14:12:41.354-05:00You have created a great mentor text for the stude...You have created a great mentor text for the students. You've had a busy, eventful, wonderful summer. I love the line "Summer promises to be back..." Even though we mourn the passing, there is something hopeful in that phrase. It will be back before you know it.
