The weather in Estonia has been Mediterranean hot and the water on the North coast almost Arctic cold. The first day when the water wasn’t freezing cold I took my first swim.

I spent the morning learning about Anna Julia Cooper, an important Black educational theorist, and imagining what a framework of learning based on her work would include: https://thedirigibleplum.com/2020/06/30/spending-the-morning-with-dr-anna-julia-cooper-sol20/

I tried an “Isolation Journals” prompt, to write without emotion about 5 words chosen from a list. My words were watermelon, earthworm, tin can, buttercup and dandelion. They brought out some long ago summer memories.

The line “I’m the one who leaps” from Jericho Brown’s Pulitzer Prize winning poetry collection, The Tradition, reminded me of a life-changing story I heard long ago. I lifted that line for my own poem along with anaphora, the repetition of it for emotional pull into the experience (thank you Margaret Simon and Ethical ELA for the inspiration):

School’s out (finally!) and I have the time to reflect on how I decided if one child had done enough to earn her English credit. https://persistenceandpedagogy.com/2020/06/30/who-gets-the-credit/
On the day Mississippi’s legislature voted to remove the confederate symbol from its flag I visited Beauvoir where the myth lives in full bloom. My visit went like this: https://evolvingenglishteacher.blogspot.com/2020/06/reframing-vs-erasing-history-at.html?m=1
