Somethings really cool started happening today.
As I was walking into the building this morning I was suddenly struck by what I wanted to write. My mind was racing with ideas as I quickly put my stuff down in the cold basement room, grabbed coffee, and chose where I would write.
The words poured out of me in a way they haven't in at least 7 years. And when I was done I was really happy with what I wrote. Again--something that hasn't happened in at least 7 years.
I'd say that shows that this first full week as a success.
Going forward I really hope to continue exploring myself as a writer and getting to know the other writers around me. Everyone has such great ideas regarding writing and teaching and learning from them this week has been fantastic.
I'm really excited to continue exploring using writing to promote empathy in students in a way that they can bring with them when the leave me. I wasn't originally excited about my inquiry project but now I am really enjoying what I'm finding.
I'm also excited to walk out with all of the strategies and knowledge that the others are sharing.
