I just keep thinking of how can I get the others to see the big picture and love their kids, too. I reread the book by Donald Graves: A Sea of Faces. I may have the group do this exercise: Write on one side of a paper the names of your kiddos. In the middle column write 2 or 3 nouns that come to mind for that child. In the right hand column write 2 verbs that come to mind about that child. When you do that, you begin to know, really know your students. It is not all about adjectives. What do you think?Kathy Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15048581226559774602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119769200546156350.post-15048048967363353842007-11-29T20:41:00.000-05:002007-11-29T20:41:00.000-05:00LOVE THE IDEA KATIE!

We are taking turns hosting a hour evening at one of our homes. Instead of assigning a full book to read, we pick a topic we want to focus on, find an article and chat. It has been a good start!Katie Dicesarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04267193046510544304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119769200546156350.post-41167114053231159692007-11-29T20:05:00.000-05:002007-11-29T20:05:00.000-05:00Wow Sarah-I love this quote!

How can you show in one hour what a year-a summer- and TONS of reading has just started for us? I often feel as if I have just STARTED this amazing journey. How can you show someone what you feel inside & make it affect someone else? <BR/>I love these questions and think that we need to do a MAJOR coffee night (ok, well a light coffee night mixed with a protein bar) to look a little deeper into these thoughts. <BR/><BR/>PS- love our discussions!Jen Barneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05907949160401264885noreply@blogger.com
