So I've been noticing stuff in my everyday world and wondering what to develop for WNW. It occurred to me on Monday night that I should write about the Christmas lights that have filled my home. So I've been doing a lot of writing in the air in preparation for today's entry. I pushed my… Continue reading ruth’s wn entry: merry & bright.

ruth’s wn entry: thanksgiving thoughts.
Edited: I posted & then read Stacey's entry from today. Strange that we both wrote poems. Stranger still that we have a similar line. Strange in a cool way, though. So thankful for friendship. 🙂 So I'm waiting for some paint to dry on a canvas and I'm thinking about all the things I'm grateful for in my life. And this thinking… Continue reading ruth’s wn entry: thanksgiving thoughts.

ruth’s wn entry: teaching heart map
I teach because of relationships. I teach to impact others in positive ways. I was surprised, looking over my map because of what's not there. No units, no grammar, no standards. Nothing of what fills a typical plan book. Instead, this seems to be a start to make visible what is often invisible. It's about… Continue reading ruth’s wn entry: teaching heart map

Stacey’s WN Entry: The Sadako Project… A Reflection
Coming together, as a class, to do something worthwhile... I wanted all of my students to see what teamwork was about. I wanted them to do something as a group to see the amazing results. But was it art for art sake? (Don Graves told me it wasn't when I shared my original entry with… Continue reading Stacey’s WN Entry: The Sadako Project… A Reflection

WN Entry: Busy
I'm so busy. Busy as a bee. (What does that really mean?) I wanted to write today, but didn't have the time to write in prose, the way I normally do. So here I am sitting here writing this poem so I can say that I wrote today. It's kind of like what kids do… Continue reading WN Entry: Busy

ruth’s wn entry: people who have changed me.
When I read Stacey's charge on Monday, I thought about all of the typical people I could write about, and quite frankly, I wasn't excited about it at all. So then I began thinking of a person who has impacted me, but I've never written about, a person who wasn't the first to pop into… Continue reading ruth’s wn entry: people who have changed me.

Stacey’s WN Entry: Two People Who’ve Really Changed My Life
The two people who changed my life were both my teachers. Carol Snook Role: 1st Grade Teacher Carol Snook was the most amazing teacher a child could ask for. She celebrated each student and cherished what was unique about each of her 14 kiddos (the year I had her). She insisted that we keep in… Continue reading Stacey’s WN Entry: Two People Who’ve Really Changed My Life

A Charge for WNW: Who Has Changed Your Life?
I was perusing Educating Alice this morning and came across a post about two people who've changed her life. I thought that could be an interesting charge, and a lovely way to pay tribute to people who matter to us, for this-coming Wednesday's .
