The problem with me specifically writing about a good year is it is grounded in what were some really bad years, long… Read More A good year

Parents & Guardians

TL: DR Meetings with parents and guardians can be made simpler and with more care. I have more to add later: just a placeholder. https://t.co/CLWlXiJsAg — Kelly Love (@mrskellylove) January 19, 2022 A little story: Many years ago, I saw the need for an alternative to the current ASB (Associated Student Body) group.

little ray of sunshine

We’ve been in the building full time since May of last year, and now this year. School began on September 8th for students, so today is Day 12. And each day I think, “Whew, one more day I don’t have COVID, or at least a breakthrough case that I know of.” And that is our… Read More little ray of sunshine

Well, dangit. Long story short: I posted this TikTok on a large English teacher group, with the point being the teacher doesn’t have to leave out her “non-honors” kids in asking about books.

Last Writes.

This past week I circled back to something we tried in the fall: some students remembered, some didn’t, but dang –once again I have to give Kim Norton and Holly Stein a huge YOU ARE GODDESSES thank you! No fancy gimmicks, no assembly required: just spontaneous and authentic writing. As mentioned, the kids are growing… Read More Last Writes.

I am asking a weird question.   Are we doing this all wrong? This is a great post, with classic tried-and-true tips. But maybe the place to explore reading is never, ever school, or at least school first.
