Don't

Another great idea shared by Diana at One Literacy Coach: Don't Poems

Today, I'm dedicating my don't poem to my students.

Don't
Don't have a good fit book?

Don't forget to think when you read.

Don't keep reading if it doesn't make sense.


Don't forget you are a very important person with a capital I.

Don't forget ending punctuation.

Don't you want to reread and check your work?



Don't let me forget that I'm a learner too.

Don't stop making me laugh every day.

Don't you know that you can do this?



And don't ever, ever forget . . .

YOU are why I love being your teacher.

{#sol15} deeper than beauty 8/31

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters.  I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem. First of all, because I don't want them to believe everything that society says is true.  Even if they don't fully understand it today.  In addition, because they are fraternal twin sisters, I want them to understand they are individuals with unique and different bodies that God created for each of them.   However, society -- including my loving family and friends -- tell a different story and harmlessly create a comparison war.   My girls constantly hear how beautiful, adorable, cute, fill-in-the-blank with any other
