Writing With Abandon

Reflections and ramblings about life as an educator, writer, reader, knitter, and over-thinker. Trying to do the writing only I can do.

“Ms. Amy!” N calls during indoor recess. I’m sitting at my desk, working on our literacy power standards document. She’s in the mini-atelier of our class with some of her classmates, listening to music and drawing.

“We forgot to give you this!”

She hands me a big sheet of paper:

“I love it!!” I exclaim as I sing the lyrics aloud. “But what’s this blank space??”

Before she can respond, I’m already singing: “Cause I’ve got a blank space, baby, and I’ll write your name!”

She laughs and tells me she was going to say the same thing.

    What an uplifting, serendipitous, “swift” moment! A lovely intrusion when working on that literacy power standards doc :O – and a reminder of our “why”.
