"The only way to "fit" writing in every day is to write all day across the curriculum. Don't separate "writing workshop" from other writing. Writing is writing-in math reading, science, and social studies; in journals, writing folders, or notebooks; on papers, charts, the computer." (pg. 184)
I love the saying that "WRITING CEMENTS KNOWLEDGE." That is the reason I always tried to make time for writing, even though I never felt as if I a proficient writing teacher. I seemed to shy away from shared writing because I didn't feel very confident as a writer myself. After reading this book (for the third time) , I take risks. I am a writer. I will continue to write and improve my writing skills!

I also like the saying "Writing Cements Knowledge". It makes sense, topics that I have written about I remember the most. I had friends in college that would rewrite(not copy) notes they took in class. They said it helped them to remember the information better.
