That was a very nice gesture from you, Ms Yost. I can see from your description of the event that the boy, Tony, must have been deeply moved and appreciative.

For you to come back to a "lock-down", single class instruction? to pass out packets for your children to do,could only burst your bubble. I know there are benefits to teaming/switching classes, but on days like these, and there sounds like there are many at your school, perhaps it would be better for your students if you opted out of such scheduling. I have at my school and it is wonderful. I admit I don't "do it all" but what I do do is a lot better than what is happening in other classes. My students score better, are better behaved and enjoy school more than they ever have. And I sleep a whole lot better every night. I encourage you to "lock down" your classroom everyday and teach with the passion those speakers have...... A fifth grade teacher in Atlanta. Sarah,

It should be a required pilgrimmage for any English teacher ready for inspiration and swweeeeet ideas. Peace, -Paul Sarah,
