NYSEC Conference Free Write by Kathleen Sokolowski https://padlet.com/farmingdaleschooldistrict/oubuwo3hy2nr Response to The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore en-us 2016-10-12 15:43:24 UTC 2025-07-01 00:19:45 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padletuploads.blob.core.windows.net/aws/61717757/218a87bc1c621891e03a8e8c0dd31bbe/the_fantastic_flying_books_of_mr_morris_lessmore1__1_.jpg https://padlet.com/farmingdaleschooldistrict/oubuwo3hy2nr/wish/132215427 The illustrations of Morris Lessmore getting lost in the pages of the books, not emerging for days is what resonated most with me. I liked watching him skip through the pages as the letters flew behind him in tow. I like the feeling of getting lost in a book- it's like an adventure that you get to go on without paying money for a fancy trip. I just wish I could find more time to get lost in the excitement of a book. Maybe shorter books are more manageable at this point in my life. Morris Lessmore- less is more I guess. ]]> 2016-10-20 20:03:07 UTC https://padlet.com/farmingdaleschooldistrict/oubuwo3hy2nr/wish/132215427 https://padlet.com/farmingdaleschooldistrict/oubuwo3hy2nr/wish/132215493 That book was sad. It reinforces how everyone's life is a story and each person has something important to say. It also illustrates how reading and writing can be a means of escape which I think is appealing to teenagers who are oftentimes looking for an outlet. It was a beautiful story. ]]> 2016-10-20 20:03:28 UTC https://padlet.com/farmingdaleschooldistrict/oubuwo3hy2nr/wish/132215493 This book makes me think about blogs as a place to hold my joys and sorrows in a community of writers. Looking back on past blog posts is a way to go back to a time in my life and right away remember.  ksokolowski1 https://padlet.com/farmingdaleschooldistrict/oubuwo3hy2nr/wish/132215820 2016-10-20 20:05:09 UTC https://padlet.com/farmingdaleschooldistrict/oubuwo3hy2nr/wish/132215820 https://padlet.com/farmingdaleschooldistrict/oubuwo3hy2nr/wish/132215933 I hadn't ever thought of using a Padlet to have students post anything other than work. Great activity.]]> 2016-10-20 20:05:37 UTC https://padlet.com/farmingdaleschooldistrict/oubuwo3hy2nr/wish/132215933 https://padlet.com/farmingdaleschooldistrict/oubuwo3hy2nr/wish/132216087 My coworker uses padlet as a way for students to brainstorm ideas for projects and such but I like using it for sharing writing prompts like this.
