When we work with children we often discover talkworthy texts. These are the pieces that draw us in and invite us to uncover a deeper meaning and to build our own unique understanding. And so it is with conversation. Whether it is a reflective conversation with oneself or with a group of others, the talk moves us to deeper understanding and a broader view of our thinking. Here's hoping that all our conversations will be talkworthy.

A Clean Desk
I spent a few days of the winter break cleaning my office at school. The piles had overtaken any available workspace! I was determined to begin 2009 with a clean desk. As I moved through the piles, it was scary to realize that so much of it went straight to the recycle pile! Someone told me once that I should handle every piece of paper just once. Good advice but I am not very good at following it. The piles grow no matter how hard I try. I am anxious to begin 2009 with a desk that sparkles.

Good luck with that goal -- I try every year to do the "one touch" thing with paper, but my piles just keep on accumulating!
The Challenge will help you keep on track...
Here's to a clean desk!
