I'm the one digging into the work and thinking about the lessons ... but it is BIGGER than the lessons. It's so much more -- as Mary Lee said, "This is a revolution that can change the world. It's HUGE." Thank you for opening my eyes to seeing the bigger picture. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your words and thoughts with us. You have given me a new perspective on this book.<br />~Michelle<br /><br />Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04822472844833732246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760018118498685466.post-52618664243496478702018-07-07T06:47:51.882-04:002018-07-07T06:47:51.882-04:00You're so right.

A professor once told me that when we begin to ask ourselves, "How do I...?" it always comes back to language and how we are using it. Like you, I appreciate the opportunity to discuss this book with others and learn together.

Our words are so important and you capture that here in your post. This book isn't simply lesson ideas. It is a way to reflect on all we do so we can deepen students' understanding of social comprehension. This book is all about reflection and perspective taking - two life skills our kids need.

I think this book definitely shows how we can begin to foster students' empathy and compassion.

I also kept noting Sara's carefully chosen language as she referenced Peter Johnston and I know this is something I need to improve on in my own discussions with students (hence the need for some of the conversations to be more thought out/planned for beforehand). Lots to think about here!Erika Victorhttp://www.msvictorreads.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760018118498685466.post-66538711083454273842018-07-04T12:36:25.671-04:002018-07-04T12:36:25.671-04:00Glad to know that you had a similar experience.

My husband kept asking, "What's wrong?" Isn't that telling that the activity of "mulling over things" looks like I'm doing nothing, or that something is wrong? I wonder, how much space/time do we make in our classrooms to allow students to process or mull over the ideas they are encountering? I know when I design workshops for teachers, I intentionally build in this time, but with students, I don't always provide that. In considering schema theory, this time is especially important to help reframe schemas - figure out how the new information fits with old information. When there is significant differences, this can take some time to juggle. LitProfSuzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05547925033315402993noreply@blogger.com
