Alli stood in the doorway. She holds out her hands and dropped the towel. The towel fell to the floor and clumps up. It had only been on the floor for a moment before she leans down and picked it up. Does your head hurt yet? Mine did just writing that. This can be howContinue reading “Education :: The Importance of Tense”

Hope :: I Don’t Fit In
I’ve never been part of the ‘in’ crowd. I was never ‘normal’, or at least what everyone in my schools considered normal. I’m sure I’m not the only one. You don’t have to fit in. I know being in middle and high school is extremely difficult, especially when you don’t fit into the ‘normal’ crowd.Continue reading “Hope :: I Don’t Fit In”
Education :: Taking a Break
Hiya! I apologize for being out of touch with education posts the past couple of weeks. I honestly was really struggling to find motivation for the posts. I’m going to keep writing!

Who is in your circle? No, I’m not talking about your social circle. Your peer group. Your family.

Our students are all at different levels of understanding while we are also stuck teaching the curriculum and barely get a moment to think about teaching writing. Not every student has the gift to write, but teaching them writing is still important. Teaching writing helpsContinue reading “Education : Why do we teach writing?”
Hope :: “There’s Something Wrong with You”
9 times out of 10, we find ourselves saying these words to other people as a joke. Usually they’ve done something silly and we want to laugh but don’t want to laugh at the same time and so we say, “There’s something wrong with you…” That tenth time is when we’re hurt or angry andContinue reading “Hope :: “There’s Something Wrong with You””
Education :: Be There
My favorite teachers growing up were the ones who cared about me. I didn’t know anything about their personal lives. I didn’t even know their first names until much later. But I knew they cared about me. Mrs. Spargo understood that the playground wasn’t my favorite place. Instead of forcing me to go outside forContinue reading “Education :: Be There”
