pottery Originally uploaded by teachergal I tried to focus more on the letting the writing guide me... not letting the photos lead the way, like I have the other days this week.

Stacey’s Slice of Life Story: Day 12
Each student went around at Closing Circle and shared some of the positive feedback they received from another student or an adult during the Publishing Party today. It was a super way to end the day. After school, a few of my students helped me clean up and discovered two cold half-gallons of juice under… Continue reading Stacey’s Slice of Life Story: Day 12

Giving the Gift of Poetry Originally uploaded by teachergal I was tagged by Megan for the Passion Quilt Meme. Essentially one needs to think about what they're passionate with regard to education and their students.
