Another Blog You Should Be Reading

People who have blogs tend to know other people who have blogs. I know a few such folks, myself. One person I know who has an outstanding blog, to which I race daily when I wake up to see if she has published something new on the West Coast while I was fast asleep in the Middle East, is my best friend. Click here to read about yoga, sewing, dance class, upcoming forays into librarianhood, and oh yes--First Grade. I live vicariously through her this year, since for the past four years (really--that long?!) I've written a blog about life at school, and a few other topics too I suppose, and what can I say? I miss it. Teaching generates incredible amounts of bloggable material.

In a totally self-serving moment, let me tell you how her blog helped me to realize recently that even though I do not have my own classroom this year, I have not lost the excellent skills of teacher-student communication developed and honed by the past twelve years of classroom practice. I feel this is evidenced by something of which I am particularly proud, a comment I made the other day in response to a situation she described having taken place in her classroom, and I think you should admire it by clicking here.
