First Day of School

                                    First Day of School  

                                         Will the playground be infested with termites?
                                                        Will flowers even grow?
                                                  Will they smack me with a ruler
                                                  like they did a hundred years ago?
                                                 Will my teachers turn into zombies?
                                                   Will my classmates eat my brain?
                                                   Will the witches in my classroom
                                                        cause me misery and pain?
                                                         Will spiders try to bite me
                                                        from their cobwebs up above?
                                                       Will my classroom be so dirty
                                                        that i'll have to wear gloves?
                                                          I think I have a headache
                                                                And the measles
                                                                And the mumps.
                                                     We really should be heading back...
                                                            Oh no!Were pulling up!

The Art and Aspirations of a Commenter 
I believe in the power of a free exchange of ideas. I also recognize that words or access to
some information can be of harm to others, intentionally or unintentionally. As a
commenter, I therefore aspire to participate responsibly in the great online conversation
 by:
* treating all bloggers with respect.
* seeking first to understand what is being said.
* celebrating another's accomplishments.
* using school appropriate language.
* rephrasing ideas in the blog that made me think, made me feel, or helped me learn
to let the blogger know his/her voice has been heard.
* commenting specifically and positively, without criticism. If I disagree, I will
comment appropriately, politely stating my perspective.
* being mindful always that I may be a role model to my audience, especially if they 
are younger than I.
* making no reference to, link to, and/or giving access to any information that may 
 be inappropriate for a school setting.
* asking at least one question in my comment with the hopes of continuing a
conversation and deepening thinking.
* using a triple check before submitting any comment: Would I be happy to have my 
mother read this comment? My grandmother? My favorite teacher?
