"When teachers write, we become partners with a community of writers, full participants in our classroom."

- Tim Gillespie You're invited to join other Utah educators in 30 days of writing. A daily invitation to pause and write for 5-10 minutes will be emailed to you. Invitations may ask you to reflect on questions, consider mentor texts, engage in guided imagery, or pick a topic of your choice. Choose to participate with the invitations how you wish.

There are no submission requirements. There is no checking up on whether you've followed through. Miss a day? That's ok, join us for the next one. This is low-stakes writing - no judgment, no evaluation.

January 8 - February 6, 2024

Invitations will be emailed in the mornings. Write at a time of day (or night) that works for you!
