I'm a teacher, writer, musician, father of three creative young men, and husband to a librarian. Cool, right? My teaching 'home' has long been the National Writing Project.
I blog (we still do that, right?) at https://dogtraxwrites.com/

Now that I have settled in a bit, and found the #EduSky hashtag (yeah!), I suppose I should introduce myself. I teach sixth grade in Western Massachusetts and have been long connected with the National Writing Project. I love writing & music, hiking & kayaking, and exploring tech. Happy to connect.

Today's #ds106 #DailyCreate is a fun one for #writeout -- using a tree fractal creation site to make tree art. I went further and added some birds to my tree

Yesterday, I took all of our students outside for a #writeout for activity in which we counted all of the trees on our school property through tree mapping (after they made a guesstimate). As we were walking, one student turned to to me and said: I love write out. That inspired this #poem

I had the pleasure of interviewing and chatting with Rob Walker -- author of The Art of Noticing -- for #writeout and that conversation aired last night. We chatted about intentionally noticing the world and using what we see for creativity.

It’s that time of year when my wife and I will soon take part in the Hot Chocolate Run event in Western Massachusetts to support the family shelter for women and children. We’re part of our church’s team. We walk the route, but it’s fun to watch the run.
