I am grateful for my two strong, wise daughters, my amazingly brilliant son, my partner in life and crime, my ability to think and reason, the students that I learn with every day, the rising and setting sun, blue skies, and clouds, rain that soaks through everything and quenches thirst, afternoon walks, books that nourish me, words that declare and shout and feel and spread across the page. I am grateful. Cross posted to Two Writing Teachers Slice of Life Tuesday
This blog is a place to ruminate on the problems of teaching. If I am thinking thoughtfully, my posts will hopefully raise more questions than answers. By problematizing teaching we reflect on those questions that are constantly behind, in front, and at center of everything we do in the classroom. Feel free to comment. I'd love to hear what other teachers are thinking about on these and other issues. Cheers! Elisa
