I really think that the Council is hoping that each gallery will have as many pieces as possible by the 20th, but if you don't have many submissions yet, try to get at least five. You will still be able to continue to add pieces beyond the 20th wh...
I am having a similar problem. I have many submissions from our 4th and 5th grade students. They are very excited about the project. It seems adults are a little more reluctant to their writing. I really believe that writing is one of the most per...

- HI-I saw that on Twitter! Mary Lee and I put up a gallery for the kidlit bloggers asking people to share stories of their reading lives. So I think I'll have to submit there. So many great possibilities for writing!

- Hi Becky,
MIT university is trying to build a free resource to help kids learn SAT/ACT thru the power of user-generated images and video. We are currently running a nationwide contest, challenging kids to make fun and memorable flashcards by pairing sentences and images to a common test word. There will be a small cash prize and iTunes giveaways. Due date is May 22.
More details at brainyflix.com/main/contest_rules. Do you have students or colleagues who would be interested?

- Hi Mariana,
Are you going to be at the conference in Columbia next Saturday? I am going to be presenting with Susi about going beyond the walls of schools to know our children. I hope to see you there. My year has gotten off to a great start. This is my second year in this school, and I am really feeling good about where the teachers are after our first year together. That first year is always spent building bridges and putting out fires. Take care, and I will see you soon. It will be time for the convention before we know it.

"The existing standardized tests are so incredibly bogus that it is the height of impropriety for NCTE and other so-called professional organizations to pretend that tests exist "to identify learning needs, inform instruction, and monitor student ...
So far there has been no response from NCTE in any form since the postings on the website of the Washington Post. The bottom line remains:
NCTE has approved of a plan that calls for

Approximately 8 million students in grades 4-12 are reading below grade level. Limited literacy skills cause 3,000 students to drop out of high school every day.
