I could be the worst blogger ever OR I am really busy, but that's no excuse!

I really think I could be deemed the worst blogger ever. On the to-do list of my life, this routinely ends up at the bottom. That said, my hope this morning was to do a little catch-up blogging instead, but I'm going to cheap-out on that as well because my exercise bike and CBS Sunday Morning are calling me. However, as I dug around on the web this morning, I ended-up on colleague and middle school literacy coach Kasey's blog. Rather than write much on my own, I replied to a really interesting point she was making: "how do I model my thinking for students?  In my opinion, this is the largest piece that is missed by teachers in classrooms.  We may even think we are modeling our thinking when in reality, we are simply giving directions for how to do a task. " This is within her January 12, 2014 blog "Unscrewing Our Thinking Caps."

I do still aspire to get back on here soon, but off to exercise land this morning!
