As Ben noted, keep sending reports to he e-mail. However, if you have questions, they are usually more time sensitive, so find a category or recent post that sort of fits and ask the question as part of an existing discussion. Or go to the forum and start a new thread (after looking to see if someone already asked your question). However, the forum doesn’t get as much traffic.
Don’t let your desire to turn every CWB into a story override your feeling of the energy in the room. You might not get a story today, but there’s always tomorrow and next week. Come back to that student later to see if anything develops. At the very least, use him or her for contrast or a parallel situation.
Congratulations!! I love this line: ” That delighted them so I will keep using it.”
Pure gold!
We often say, “Follow the energy” but I love the idea of “following the joy”!!
Robert is right…not every day nor every story will be golden. They really don’t need that. (we think we do…..) They shine just being a part of it all.
Congrats on this year’s success. I’m delighted for YOU!
with love,
Laurie
Robert, thanks for the advice to pace myself. I appreciate your posts a lot.
Laurie, so glad to see you here. I remember you from more than 10 years ago on the moreTPRS list. (hard to forget the distinctive spelling of your last name). What I really remember most is the wisdom, kindness, and love with which you dealt with every person with whom you came in contact.
Thank you so much Tim.
with love,
Laurie
This might help:
I have a bulletin board with question words. I asked students to bring in a baby picture. The night of back-to-school I hang up all the baby pictures from all 4 sections that I have. I explain to parents that 1) kids ask question by nature when they’re little. It’s a reminder that it’s okay to ask questions–both I of them and they of me. And 2) when they were kids their imaginations ran wild. Before we start a story I ask them to look at their picture of them and remember the time when it was okay to be creative. So far when we pause and channel our inner-kid we get the cute stuff that helps us to run wild. 3) it personalizes the class to reflect that it’s all about them. 4) when I get angry I look at how cute they were.
Just an idea,
Drew
I like it Drew!
LOVE this Drew!!! Thank you 🙂
Perfect idea Drew. Doing this.
I LOVE this idea! Plus, I am going to start videotaping to curtail side chatter. Grades are out and jGr reflects Interpersonal Skills – problem is some kids don’t seem to care about their grades. I have some worksheets ready for tomorrow to send them out to be baby-sat by AP. Grrrrr!
