The terms of endearment for your students are lovely. Such a brilliant way to adopt Ó Tuama's advice. I love your weekly poetry routine, also, and will be sharing this post with all my colleagues so they too can plant the seed of poetry.Catherine Flynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00390699128046569127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-21366739606769928602021-01-10T07:43:16.929-05:002021-01-10T07:43:16.929-05:00Wow!

I had dropped it in the chaos of the new school year in August. But, I'm delighted with the responses to our discussion so far. Poetry is INDEED a seed worth planting. I might be a few rows over from you in the field....but I"m there and so very happy to be planting with you.Linda Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00833034575304594924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-59337203714204840722021-01-10T06:17:33.218-05:002021-01-10T06:17:33.218-05:00You've inspired me to strive to be a "swe...You've inspired me to strive to be a "sweet babboo" in all I do and say, Mary Lee.

Endearing words sound like a wonderful way to connect, bond and build trust with your students–these days sure aren't easy, and we sure could use more TLC.

You certainly make me wish my granddaughters had such a teacher, although they are doing well. The day of 9/11, I had my students draw or write, & I gave them a copy of what I called "hope", John Lennon's lyrics to Imagine. We talked a lot & parents came in to join us. (The students were a bit older, FYI) Your patience with students' readiness to respond to Wednesday is wonderful, too. They will speak, and you will help them in many ways, including poetry. Best wishes to you & the class!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-52719097545809900152021-01-09T11:01:21.107-05:002021-01-09T11:01:21.107-05:00Mary Lee, your post made me smile.

Coming up with fun, sweet, even outlandish terms of endearment is giving your students something to look forward to each day -- and you're using words to connect with them.
