Afraid of the Dark?

1081) Darkness, on many levels, is a scary place to be. Sometimes it’s somewhere in the absence of light; you can “see” things that are not necessarily there. At other times, being in a dark place can be an emotional experience; nothing feels good and depression fills your being. Spiritually, darkness represents the lack of

Who’s Your Partner? Thanksgiving?

1080) Some years, in my language arts classroom, I assign a poetry anthology. At first, the kids scoff at the idea, but when they see different ways to express their thoughts, they usually pick up the ball and start rolling. One poem I assign is called a circle poem. They start with one word, then

Who’s Your Partner? Coarseness

1079) My students just amaze me in so many ways. The things they’ll say, write, or do, good and bad, will often blow my mind. Sometimes they are a harsh reminder that I am no longer young! Sigh. A good example of this is when we occasionally play limbo. When I watch kids literally look

Who’s Your Partner? Foolish Talk?

1078) For a few years, I had my 6th grade write, produce, create, record and perform a puppet production. This event was a big deal because we worked all year on it. When we would begin the project, I always suggested that we take a fairy tale or fable and rewrite it and one year

Who’s Your Partner? Obscenity?

1077) My husband and I sometimes will watch old TV shows because we have a fondness for the simpler life many of the early black and white shows portrayed. One thing we laugh at is when we see the husband and wife sleeping in single beds; after all, censorship forbade showing a man and woman

Who’s Your Partner? Greed?

1076) my principal believes that I am a good person to assign recess duty, and she’s right. I can see what’s going on over a wide area and can deal with problems with the kids effectively. One of the things I sometimes see on the playground are groups of kids forming impromptu games. I’m always

Who’s Your Partner? Impurity?

1075) Once upon a time, my husband was moving a sawhorse and got a nasty splinter in his thumb. He did his best to get it out and afterward, we both forgot about it. A few days later, he came to me and showed me his thumb. It was red and swollen, so I set

Who’s Your Parner? Sexual Immorality?

1074) I have been rereading Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis this summer. Among many other thought-provoking issues, Lewis discusses sexual immorality and states that it is an obsession and fascination that is out of balance. Think about how much sex is used to sell things; it has marketing power that many have tapped in to.

Follow the Leader

1073) In my language arts classroom, we have read a book that details the life of a family who, living under the deadly thumb of Joseph Stalin, were arrested and treated with absolute cruelty in labor camps. The account is brutal and the atrocities that this family and millions of others experienced during his reign

Garbage Out – The Role Model Award

1072) My career in education has had many twists and turns. There have been many wonderful things that have happened and some that were not. There are things my students have said throughout the years I’ll never forget, and there have been many special things that happened that I will cherish. One of these things
