My next task is changing up the open house presentation, but my Twitter presentation, "PD in your PJs" is done, and it's fairly easy once you think of pictures to help remind you of what you want to say.<br />Have fun with it!<br />-JoyJoy Kirrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08883167887036480979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941630785664397334.post-70150087047548011862012-08-02T11:53:42.062-05:002012-08-02T11:53:42.062-05:00Joy, thank you for this reflection.

They are pictures that explain and remind the reader for later, but I need focus on each one. I may not take your points this time due to time, but I appreciate you sharing.<br /><br />Here are two ideas for your picture:<br /><br />Ideas won't keep; something must be done about them.<br />~ Alfred North Whitehead<br /><br /><br />“Books are mirrors: you only see in them what you already have inside you.” <br />― Carlos Ruiz ZafónSheri42https://www.blogger.com/profile/06110059329788147499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941630785664397334.post-85920843679283166802012-07-30T15:54:13.478-05:002012-07-30T15:54:13.478-05:00Thanks, Danielle!

One of my Twitter pals, Denise (above), encourages everyone to do the same. Commenting on blogs, sharing of your wisdom, asking questions... You are truly a connected educator!<br /><br />Thanks for the quotes - I think I need a bigger book!<br /><br />~JoyJoy Kirrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08883167887036480979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941630785664397334.post-32422330204645006602012-07-30T12:09:26.021-05:002012-07-30T12:09:26.021-05:00Love the last picture you took!

Tell me the truth and I’ll believe. But tell me a story and it will<br />live in my heart forever.” An old Native American proverb<br /><br />"People think that stories are shaped by people. In fact it's the other way around." Terry Pratchett, novelist<br /><br />"The world is shaped by two things – stories told and the memories they leave behind."

I've learned so much from sharing photos on Flickr this past year. We are going to have a photo a day blog for my students. <a href="http://mrsdkrebs.posterous.com/" rel="nofollow">http://mrsdkrebs.posterous.com/</a><br /><br />DeniseDenise Krebshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00583406241247334445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941630785664397334.post-4978459639778431952012-07-29T13:57:22.470-05:002012-07-29T13:57:22.470-05:00Joy,

Quotes for your book-<br />"Reading takes us away from home, but more important, it finds homes for us everywhere.” <br /> - Hazel Rochman<br />“There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate's loot on Treasure Island.” <br /> - Walt Disney<br /><br />At ISTE I was at a poster session on Images as Assessment http://bitly.com/Lly4hq Thought you might be interested. I am also beginning everyday with an image that we can discuss since they are so powerful and can build vocabulary and thinking skills.<br />Have a wonderful day!<br />JoAnnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941630785664397334.post-5352480115521551282012-07-28T14:46:13.624-05:002012-07-28T14:46:13.624-05:00Joy,

I'm heading to the library now, and I may be inspired to take another photo similar to this. I'll share it with you when I do.<br /><br />Anyway, there are a million things I could write on that book, if it were big enough. <br /><br />Perhaps: "Books are a uniquely portable magic." ~Stephen King<br /><br />“If you cannot find yourself on the page very early in life, you will go looking for yourself in all the wrong places.” ~Richard Peck<br /><br />“We read to know that we are not alone.” ~William Nicholson<br /><br />Have fun!<br />DeniseDenise Krebshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00583406241247334445noreply@blogger.com
