We Three -- I Mean Four

My grandmother, my mom, and I are all on a year long altered book round-robin journey.  We call it We Three and these three books travel the country from Lawrenceville, Georgia to San Antonio, Texas to Washington, D.C.  We haven't missed a single month and are in fact so excited that we have to KEEP from getting ahead!

Each month we have a shared prompt and our hope is that in December of this year or in January 2011 we'll be able to all sit in one room and ooh and aah over our year of creative exploration together.

So, the other day I was looking through some photos that I hold as precious gems and I saw this one of Mimi, my grandmother's mother.
 I love Mimi, who went on to see Papa in the land of generous spirits several years ago, like she's still sitting in the warm, humid air of south Georgia waiting for my family to come for a visit.  I love her because she is Person 1 in our chain of women who love each other.  She is the one who taught us all to love beautiful things.  She is Person 1 because she was a motherless child, an orphan who sprouted a family of women who smile and explore and trust in the security of family.

So, today, as I get ready to mail my grandmother's book forward, I'm thinking of Mimi and wishing she were here to do a book too.

    Hi Daisy

    Of course, Nana and I LOVE this one! I just got a call from Pam, "If you haven't read Day's blog, go get a Kleenex and read it!" I love that my sister-friends are getting to read your entries. I love that Mimi made it into her first blog. And I love that we four are connected always.

Don't Read This if You Don't Like the Word Pee

   Okay... so I think I nearly broke the toilet from plopping down on it so hard to go pee.  WHY did I plop instead of coming in for my usual graceful landing?  Because my best friend encouraged me to go to the gym and take her weight lifting class... and because I did it... and because she's so darn encouraging that I tried to show off how MOST people who don't go to the gym for four months would really stink their first time back... but not me!  I decided that I should prove that I am a superhero who can skip the gym for four months and come in looking fresh and fit and strong as an ox... okay, okay... an ox that can lift a 2kg dumbell.  I decided that these sleeping muscles could SURELY do just as many squats as that cute 60 year old woman in the front row whose gluteus maximus muscles look nice and bouncy. I'm just going to have to be deliberate about which chairs I go to sit in today.  Spindly antique ones are definitely NOT my best option. ...

Undivided Self

Palmer describes two teachers, one who found joy and success in his career, and another who did not.  He attributed the joyful teacher's success to the idea that he taught "from an undivided self."  He says, "In the undivided self, every major thread of one's life experience is honored, creating a weave of such coherence and strength that it can hold students and subject as well as self."  The other teacher, on the other hand, projected his inner warfare onto his students.  The joyful teacher enjoyed craft, while the sour teacher enjoyed nothing.  The joyful teacher was "enlarged" by his teaching.  The sour teacher was diminished. As teachers we are either the joyful teacher OR the sour teacher.  We have days, maybe even weeks, of being the joyful teacher and days of being the sour one.  In my personal experience, when I am actually in the room teaching students I am the joyful one 95% of the time.  When I leave the room and enter the rest of...

Altered Books and Journaling

We English teachers usually believe that the WORD, the combination of  letters into meaning,  is the most important tool in the box. In an effort to document my belief that it may be time to consider that  there are other tools that help students  make meaning out of their lives,  out of what they read, out of what they think... I offer this slide show. Perhaps the literacy toolbox could be expanded. I say this knowing that some kids, like my oldest son, might balk... but also knowing that other kids, like my youngest son, would sing arias of found comfort and joy. Maybe next to the words and sentences, some kids could find color  and shape and sticky-stuff...  maybe cuttings and doodles and sketches... This slide show exhibits a visual reading journal using a traditional  text entry and  a webbed entry.  It also shows some altered books.
