Mentor texts are such a great way for students to learn and getting to read work by other students could be a great motivator (esp for middle and high school).

With the new responsibilities, I'm reminded of Jim Burke's advice of "honoring your roles" and recognizing that each week/season, we need to adjust our priorities and which roles take precedence. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your "Where I'm From" poem. It was beautiful. I too have seen the power of this poem format with my students. I didn't read the whole book in one sitting, but read the first section through quickly - and then went back to reread and consider.

I appreciated the opportunity to hear about your teaching experiences as those surely shape the lens for your reflections of Sara’s work (and I enjoyed learning more about you.). I had to laugh at your true confessions that you’ve already read the whole book. One of the things I noticed in the first two chapters seems to be confirmed in your post: that this isn’t a do the activity and be done book. It is apparent that these first conversations are routinely revisited and lay the foundation for depeening the trust and understanding of the community.

Such exciting news — and you are still here is so impressive! Enjoy all the new baby moments. <br /><br />Also, I love that you said this work will change minds and hearts. This is refreshing to hear and my hope going forward! I’m happy to also know that the lessons build on each other as well.<br /><br />The poems are powerful. Wouldn’t it be awesome for students to have written these every (few) year to see their growth and changes and beliefs in who they are? I think all this HEART work will fit beautifully in your 5th grade curriculum. A great age/year to dig in deeper into this work. <br /><br />Best of luck with napping and reading and designing curriculum this summer! But especially love that sweet baby! ��<br /><br />Michelle<br /><br />Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895290340118654990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722037294375418886.post-73528920642641549392018-07-02T06:41:25.030-05:002018-07-02T06:41:25.030-05:00What a beautiful poem - Thank you for sharing your...What a beautiful poem - Thank you for sharing your student's work.

I am also participating in the Book Love Summer Book Club and this poem was paired w/Woodson’s Brown Girl Dreaming! I wrote one and had my 4th graders also create one as a one-off lesson, too. With S samples and a better understanding, this is a wonderful way to start the year!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11292198181770895550noreply@blogger.com
