I teach Writing Workshop, Language Arts and Social Studies to sixth graders at a middle school in suburban New Jersey. This blog is my attempt to capture all the "stuff" that goes into my teaching life - the planning, the dreaming, the reading, the preparing, the hoping and (above all) the kids.
Please note that the content of this blog is my own. It does not reflect the opinions of my employer.

Tara, I am linking my blog post, Speaking of Freedom, to your site. This was written to honor a woman who believed whole-heartedly in the American dream and was fiercely proud of being an American. The piece can be found at http://beyondliteracylink.blogspot.com/2014/07/speaking-of-freedom.html
