The day has finally come for me to say Good-bye. I have knots in my stomach because I have mixed feelings about this challenge ending. I was challenged to write whatever I wanted and people were able to leave a comment if they liked or disliked my writing.

Taking small steps to becoming a writer. How is everyone feeling? I can honestly say that I immensely enjoyed being a part of it. I never thought I would say that about writing.

How will I write something every day? What could I possibly write about? There came those day.

Memories are something I treasure, and I want to capture them in writing here so I can keep them forever. Whether in the past or present, these are important to my heart. Its the last day of the challenge. I wanted to find some profound topic to write on. I wish her nose would be clear.

Coach, Mentor, Lead Learner. A day devoted to kicking-off our Graphic Novel unit. We set up six stations in the library for our 64 sixth graders. We watched a video on the different screen shots.

We created comics on the iPads with the Strip Designer app.
