in Why We Can Do What We Do on Drape's Takes
When I was teaching So. California I would spend many an hour trying to show and impress upon my students how fortunate they were to be living in this country with its myriad of opportunities. Hopefully it stuck with a few of them...

in Twittering To Learn on Drape's Takes
Hmmm...Just signed up with Twitter today...am playing around with it at Journey of Words. It will be interesting to follow the discussion and see what thoughts are out there for using this in the educational setting.

in Oulipo Style Meme - Christianity Is So Predictable on GoodWordEditing.com
Simply put...each day that a new miracle seems to fall at my feet, big or small, they are all significant.
Specifically...as many have said before, the list could go on and on. Realizing how much love He has for me and my life. His leading me to my better half almost 10 years ago. His guidance and comfort as we raise a special needs son. The opening of all the right doors emotionally and financially to adopt our daughter from Korea almost 2 years ago. His leading and caring for this family as we moved 2200 miles from West to East this past year.
It could go on and on. Thanks Marcus for a post to help me to "go to sleep counting my blessings" (as Bing would say) tonight.

in How My Kindergartener Learned to Read Chapter Books on GoodWordEditing.com
As a teacher I can attest to all of the above and more. I have found that the strong readers in a class, whether it be a second grade, fifth grade or even in high school, are those that have some or all of the items mentioned above in their homes. I have also seen many a good reader who enjoys reading turned off by his late elementary years because of some of the inane curriculum, lousy "research based" ideas and just plain bad literature used in the school system (that's why I would expose my second graders to the likes of Whitman, Twain, Dickinson, and even Shakespeare!).
