What a wonderful community of writers. I can see strengths in each and every one of you. I appreciate how you are all open books and welcome us into your world. I love how everyone has different strengths. Some of you are able to write an amazing setting while others are able to make me belly laugh in an instant. I love the touching tales that each of you weave each and every day. You share stories of your classrooms, children, and journeys. You all push me to be a stronger writer, which in turn makes me a stronger teacher. I value all of your comments and relish waking up in the morning to your kind and encouraging words. It has been a wonderful experience so far. I look forward to continuing this journey with you and look forward to a story filled March.
This is lovely, Elizabeth. I love reading expressions of community when it comes to the SOLSC. Warms my heart.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea. I appreciate the positive comment. I wish all report comments could be just as positive - celebrating the spark and growth of children.
ReplyDeleteVery creative idea...an inspiration for sure! Ditto back to you!
ReplyDeleteWow...if one of my children came home with a note, from the teacher, like this I would save it! Thanks Elizabeth.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, good thoughts!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a journey, and I just wish I could get to everyone's post every day!
What nice comments on our report card (or are you like us, and now our "report card" is our "progress report"?) Your words are a nice way to start the day, and I am glad I had time to come by and read your blog this morning.

I agree with all you said. I wish I had more time to read every slice. I try to get to different writers as often as I can. The days just slip by so quickly. Thanks for the lovely comment.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the wonderful comment. Can you believe it's day 20? I so agree about reading every slice.
ReplyDeleteSee, even report card comments are writing pieces! Thanks for the kind words that I wish I'd said!
ReplyDeleteI love it! This was a wonderful report card to read! Thanks
ReplyDeleteI agree with the others - what a creative post. I also like that the detail you put into the post reflects the style of comments that you write for your students. The first years of my career, I was used to selecting a number code with computer generated generic comments. It was definitely a lot more time consuming when I switched to a school with narrative comments, but it is worth it.
