Areas to Grow!

In Melissa's Demo today on poetry, I realize that I need to add more poetry to my classroom.  Actually, I don't do poetry.  I had a really hard time picking a poem for our Poetry Walk.  I found myself on The Poetry Foundation website wanting to read more and more poetry.  I finally settled on the following poem:




Do I need to add poetry to my teaching? Yes. 
Is it outside of my comfort zone?  Yes.
Would I like to grow in this area?  Yes

This is one thing I have loved about the Writing Project.  Learning... thinking...and writing through the process. Discovering me, not only as a teacher but, also, as a writer.
