Happy Holidays!

A huge thank you to the parents of our students who came out to see us on the last day of Alpha Class.
I am so honored to have worked with your children and am excited to see where writing will take them!

Students, remember that this blog is a forever place for you to write and comment on writing.  I am excited to see former students leave comments on our incoming student's posts.  You are all amazingly talented and so chock full of personality- and I love that we laughed A LOT!  Keep writing, keep imagining, and keep blogging :)




From my family to yours, have a very happy and safe New Year!

Love,
Mrs.Goins

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?
