This is my very first blog, and it brings me great joy to have the opportunity to share my words with the rest of the world. I am a teacher, and I believe words are powerful. In fact, for the entire 2010-2011 school year, I told my students just that..."Words are Powerful!" I used this phrase in an attempt to rally my students around the concept that their words are powerful, and that they can make a difference when they use them correctly. This realization, I hoped, would get them excited about learning the English language more in depth. I don't know what your experiences with English were, but most people seem to turn their noses up when they think about theirs!
This blog will consist of a collection of my experiences with how words are powerful in my life and in my classroom. I will share activities I do with my students to help them see how their words can make a difference. I will also attempt to support how I believe it's vital to stay connected to all of my students even when they leave my classroom at the end of the year. Afterall, I consider myself to be a teacher for life! Once my students have sat in my classroom, and have shared a piece of themselves with me and I with them, we will forever be connected.
