All is well!

Hello everyone. Just a quick note to report that I found my husband (with the help of one of Oley's finest), and we are safely home. He is banged up a bit but will be fine; the car may be another matter, but it was on its way out anyway.
I'm sorry to have dampened our festivities. Once again, I want to wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. I'll see you next week, and just e-mail with any questions in the meantime.

Class Quote of the Week

Someone: "Back in 1990..."

Megan: "I was only 3-years-old."


Aaaand on that note, we all feel 10 years older--haha!

my answers to two blog questions

I made it to the blog! yeah!

How I know a piece of writing is finished:

Lots of times I have to hand in my work before I am really done, due to deadlines. But if I have all the time I want, I think it is done when I start really enjoying reading it, almost like I didn't write it, and I am just a new reader who likes it.

What I am looking forward to teaching students someday:

To listen to themselves, to find their truth within and write from there. At the same time, to polish and strengthen their mechanical writing skills, so they can best express their truth.

A Thought After Class on Tuesday...

After class on Tuesday, with guest speaker J.C. Todd, I couldn't stop thinking about what I look forward to teaching the most to my potential students.

So as aspiring teachers, or teachers currently in practice...I wonder, what is it YOU look forward to teaching the most to your students?




(ps. Anyone feel free to start a new conversation or post a new blog. I'm just curious and enjoy hearing from everyone in class....soooo here I post another question.)
