When I started my
writing, I was so inspired and excited. That feel is still there and it gives
me so much energy. As the days go on, I
have had more and more ideas for how I can incorporate my students into this
little adventure of mine. After all, it is also their adventure! I want it to not only be my writing about
them, but them having an opportunity to share themselves as well.
I have been
struggling with the desire to include my kids’ picture in my posts: to
acknowledge them. Having you see my
kids’ faces would be awesome! Their energy and smiles would light up each
entry. I would love for you to be able
to connect my stories with them. In our modern day society, however, there are
legal issues with which could be
addressed with parental permission, but it still leaves room for complications.
After this brilliant
idea, I was left with this challenge how I could bring it to life. At least
that was the situation before my trip to the coffee shop. You just never know!
So, this relates to
my previous post. How did my coffee shop
conversation inspire a solution to my dilemma? Well, based on project that Monsieur
David had created, I realized that I could include my students’ artwork or
something else they created as a part of my post. They could create something
which would be impressionistic and totally their own. You will notice that I
will be adding that to my posts.
Students are creating postcards that represent who they are and what
they would like to share. Some are going
to write poems. For some I will include the work they are doing in class. In the end, this could be way better than
pictures!! How awesome is that!
Letting go of my solution
enough to allow another to come into view: that is the beauty of inspiration.
I am super excited to
share more of my students; to have the opportunity and the place to show off
how amazing they are!
This is why I
teach!
