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.

Thank you TWT for a place to put this blog each Tuesday. Loving this community. This one was a quick write… but it made me cry so it must be right. About leaving my freshman girl at University.

For me, performing in front of a crowd=pressure. I allowed piano recitals, and the mounting pressure that accompanied them, to rob me of my love of playing. How many of my students feel that same angst when they take the stage, sharing their words with an audience? I hope they will tell me if the pressure is robbing them of their joy. I hope I will be wise enough to know and intervene.

A near by high school gathered all the students and faculty and watched videos of the 9/11 tragedy. They brought in an few first responders to speak to the students sharing how the events unfolded. The school wanted to honor all the men and women who were there that day! I thought it was very cool!

I’ve been trying to steer away from writing about my lovesick woes, but they sort of spilled out onto the page this slice: http://iheartpurplestuff.blogspot.com/2015/09/the-big-prize.html
So interesting the reasons your kiddos write. Because you told me to is sometimes ok, even though we might not like the sound of it! Sort of what this post is about. That and the power of The Dot. https://jarhartz.wordpress.com/2015/09/15/slice-of-life-finding-your-dot/
