I like them!
As Mr. Slinger, a teacher, writes in a note to Lily in Lily's Purple Plastic Purse, "Tomorrow will be a better day." And so it was. Tuesday morning, I stood at the door and greeted my students as they came in, and I noticed something: I was sort of happy to see them.
I am a writer who spent one year as a teacher of 83 fourth graders, working on writing, grammar, cursive, and spelling. I loved it. Here, you'll find some tales of the year's ups and downs.
Identifying details about students mentioned in this blog, and dates on which the events concerning them happened, have been changed to protect students' privacy.
