Classes

I am finishing up my first class at Hamline.
During some discussions a classmate said that one of her colleagues says:
"First the heart, then the mind."
As a teacher, I am passionate about literacy, and strive to instill the love of reading in each of my students. I actually think I do a pretty good job of it too.
I am going to begin The Writing Workshop this year.
The quote "First the heart, then the mind." really hit me as I begin this. It's about grabbing the heart of my students, and the stories they have to tell....and helping them get it down on paper.
I believe I am actually excited to start school.
