On the way, I blogged. At first it was hard, but then gradually it became fun incorporating all the techniques I had been teaching my students over the last 8 years. My sister, retired librarian, and president of the MO school librarians, and you know has read many great books over the years asked me, "Did you know you could write like that." My reply, "No not really, but you really can't teach kids to write unless you learn how to yourself." Thanks to the 5200 views from several different countries of my blog who motivated me find my writer's voice:) Now, I can't not write.Shirla and Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13769007492385174225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8405146603748291192.post-75476587393166130912012-08-28T20:52:46.172-07:002012-08-28T20:52:46.172-07:00When I did my dissertation research on a collabora...When I did my dissertation research on a collaboration approach between a regular education teacher, special education teacher, and SLP, the one thing all 3 of them said when they examined the transcripts of their lessons was "Wow, we talk way too much as teachers. They children never get to speak."' I think teachers feel so much pressure to make sure they cover everything, they can't breathe or have time to listen to the kids.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664095362787863238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8405146603748291192.post-77777194045964828472012-08-28T20:36:16.106-07:002012-08-28T20:36:16.106-07:00As you know, writing is THE MOST IMPORTANT thing i...As you know, writing is THE MOST IMPORTANT thing in my humble opinion. The reciprocal nature of oral language, writing, and reading... a never-ending cycle that influences each other. I am so saddened about how writing becomes marginalized and fragmented in schools as some "separate" thing. Also, children view writing as punishment at times. How did that happen? I cannot imagine going a day without writing. It is my passion. When people ask me "IF you were stranded on a desert island and you could only have one book, what would it be?" I answer, "None. Just make sure I have stick where I could write in the sand." My love and passion for written expression was nurtured in me by my second and fourth grade teachers....through the medium of poetry initially. Thankful they had the forethought to plant the seeds of writing in me when no one else did. Bells, I have seen you teach...and you are ALWAYS teaching writing in some way but it is so natural for you, that maybe you did not realize you were doing it? <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664095362787863238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8405146603748291192.post-4650683973408331482012-08-08T08:11:53.443-07:002012-08-08T08:11:53.443-07:00Even though I retired last year I am interested in...Even though I retired last year I am interested in how to be a more effective teacher.
