The Touch
A girl named Mindy was at a pawn shop. All of a sudden she saw a small, stuffed unicorn. She loved it! She asked her mom if she could get it. Her mom said no.
So Mindy and her mom went home with Mindy sagging as if their was a 100 pound weight on her back.
"You look tired, hun. You should go to bed." Her mom said.
"Okay, mom." Mindy said.
When Mindy woke up, she couldn't find her beloved stuffed puppy. She was so mad she screamed. When she went to breakfast, she touched her waffles and looked away at three little birds. It made her think of her favorite song, Three Little Birds, by Bob Marley. When she looked back at her waffles, they were gone! "My, my, my. Mindy, you ate those waffles fast." Her mom said.
She didn't have an explanation, so she said, "I was really hungry, mom." Mindy did feel a tingle when she touched her waffles and her stuffed puppy.
The next day, she hugged her mom and felt a tingle. She was mad about forgetting about how everything she touched dissappeared. DANG IT! she thought. She really had to go to the restroom. She chose to go, since her mom didn't dissappear yet. When she came back her mom wasn't there. She didn't bother looking she just cried and cried. When she touched her face she felt a tingle.

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?
