As 2023 approaches, many people like to look forward to the New Year. Today, I invite you to instead look back and reflect. What did 2022 bring you? Celebrations or disappointment? Accomplishments or setbacks? Originality or monotony? No matter what you experienced this past year, take time to acknowledge it before you set your sights on the future. Please share your thoughts with us, and comment on at least three other slices.
Leah is a Kindergarten teacher who is passionate about honoring student voice and identity through writing. She believes that in order for children to see themselves as writers, they deserve trust and autonomy to learn more about themselves and their writing process. If students can identify as authors, the motivation, skills, and craft will follow! You can find Leah on Twitter @LeahKoch_. Leah slices at leahkochtwt.wordpress.com
