Here we are at mid-June. Whether you are in school or not, teaching or not, I hope you are enjoying a moment of air, of space, of light. As for me, I’m at the NCTE-NCTM joint conference in Chicago, presenting with the amazing Sarah Valter and Leah Thomas. We had so much fun sharing the ways that being writers revolutionized our teaching.
And…if you see a new name in the comment section below, it just might be one of our new-found friends from yesterday’s workshop. Give them a visit and share some comment love!
“Words can do wonderful things. They pound, purr. They can urge, they can wheedle, whip, whine. They can sing, sass, singe, They can churn, check, channelize. They can be a “Hup two three four.” They can forge a fiery army of a hundred languid men.” – Gwendolyn Brooks

This morning’s news from Washington and the Middle East have me petrified about the state of our world. As I said a quick prayer, before rising, my new fan reminded me to look up for inspiration and signs of hope.
