For me, fear & poetry are synonymous. Until I changed it up. we didnā€™t analyze poems to death or study fancy terms. I let go as I watched kids study poetry on relevant topics, some written by teens. It was empowering for kids, as you can see in their own final products:

Today is bittersweet! It is my last day in NEISD. šŸ˜” My husband has received an incredible promotion that is taking us to Austin next week. I will miss my students and colleagues tremendously, but I am thrilled to join Leander ISD! #goodbyesarehard

Reading, or rather listening to šŸŽ§, The Memory Book by Lara Avery while I do chores around the house. A great student recommendation! Can't go to the bookstore so the app Libby is helping me out. Leander MS #VirtualSpiritWeek

My advice on conferring. Just start doing it. Donā€™t stress about choosing the perfect teaching point or having the most beautiful toolkit. The more you do it, the better you become. Worst case scenario: You get to chat with one of readers, just you & them.

You canā€™t overstate the importance of the first 45 minutes of the first day of class. Students ask: 1. Can I trust you? 2. Is this a safe space? 3. Does my voice/perspective matter? 4. Can I succeed in this class? 5. Do you care about me? #edchat
