Daily Writing Prompt 3 (pure joy) Poem

SUMMER CAMP

It is the summertime,

I arrive at the camp,

I have my backpack with all of the necessities,

I head up to the Pavillion where I will meet the campers that I am responsible for,

We do our check-in and then eat breakfast together while chatting about what we should do,

Most of the time they want to play gladiator dodgeball or gaga,

We head to our first activity and will stay busy until the afternoon,

I love being a counselor at a camp,

It brings me so much joy,

It is a stress reliever,

It is my passion,

It is what I love doing.

Daily Writing Challenge Reflection on Revision

Within the revisions, I added more details to the experience I have with coffee. I explained the coffee as my "warm blanket" and expanded on how it made me feel. The peer that I did the revisions with recommended to organize the writing more and make it more of a story. To do this, I started in the early morning and described the routine that I follow. As a morning person, I enjoy keeping things simple and relaxing. In order to add a negative side to the story, I discussed how coffee or this blanket of warmth can stain with just one touch. If there was anything that I could change about my "warm blanket" it would be that I could wear white without fear on the way to school.

It was important to mention the word "addiction" because it does make me the morning person that I strive to be although I would not say I am necessarily proud ...

Teaching Spelling Reflection

What did you learn about the topic? I learned about the importance of spelling and its relation to pronunciation and reading fluency. Before learning about this topic I did not make the concrete connection between spelling and reading. If a student is able to spell by sounding out then they will also most likely be a more successful reader. I also learned that problem-solving techniques for spelling are very similar to reading. Spelling is also very important for writing and making sure that your audience is able to understand the points that you are making. How did your group planning go? Very easy, we made an iMessage group chat and discussed what we should do. Did you communicate well? Yes, everyone in the group said when they would be able to work on certain aspects of the project and it was easy to communicate. Everyone felt comfortable texting and it made it easier to communicate as we are always on our phones. We also all have similar schedules so communication was al...

Daily Writing Prompt 2 (sensory writing)

On this morning, the dark heavy clouds filled the sky and stacked on each other like jenga blocks. The birds sang a triumphant song, it was my first day of running a 5k every single day that summer. As I walked down my front steps, I felt the bounce in my sneakers and the humidity encompassing my body forcing me to sweat. My lips were moistened, it smelled and tasted like a fresh misty day. It was time to start my fitness journey, my mind was ready but my body was not. I was about to be flooded with sweat, racing with thoughts, empowered by the sound of slipknot.
