It’s Saturday. Today is also the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project Saturday Spring Reunion. (link to the brochure)
That means that today I will be following the #tcrwp Twitter Stream closely and keynotes are underway by rockstars Diane Ravitch, Colleen Cruz and Shanna Schwarz.
The Setting: FREE workshops by fabulous #tcrwp Staff Developers
Who: Teachers and Administrators spending their time on a Saturday to learn and to celebrate learning about literacy
Agenda (link to the day’s agenda)
Learning via twitter is truly the next best thing to being in NYC at Columbia University’s Teachers College. All of the presentations will help teachers and administrators deepen their understanding of student responses to literacy instruction!

Slice of Life 19: Hunger Games

For a bit of entertainment this weekend we went to the show and it was especially great because we were together watching this movie series again!
Stunning visual effects! Are the characters still believable? And consistent across the first two movies? How well did the movie capture the contents of the book?
We both agreed that the book was better than the movie. As bookaholics we may be a bit biased. Isn’t the book always better than the movie?
Hunger Games?
Catching Fire?
Mockingjay?
A trilogy to debate. Evan says Hunger Games is the best book of the series. I say Mockingjay is better. Two different votes – neither wins . . .
Let’s see what the readers say! Which one is truly the best book? Which movie is your favorite so far?
