Friday at school I was approached by one of my 6th
graders asking me why I never post on Kidblog.com. I didn't have a good answer to tell the
student. I told her I couldn't remember my password. She looked at me and said
I can fix that. I bet it is the same as ours and then you have to change it. I
was then given directions by the student to access my account.
I guess that is my sign to start writing so the students can
read how I write. First, I have to tell
you that I am a little embarrassed since I think they all are more creative
than me. Second, what happens if I goof
up or share too much information? And
finally, what if they think I am bad?
I think that I can get over the embarrassment by just
writing about how wonderful I think they all are. I will have to filter my thoughts when I am
on their site. I think I will just have
to learn from my mistakes. The students put themselves out there everyday. I
think I can do it if it will make them better writer. So, I am about to serve
myself some confidence and do some creative writing.
We are certainly learning how it feels to put yourself out there with your writing. I think that's a great lesson. A little boy in my class always covers his work up with his hands when I walk by. I want to say, hey I know, I get it, its okay. We are all in this together.
