I laughed out loud when I saw the my own published draft typo in this piece. (How ironic, right?) It's fixed now. But it was those fourth graders who cheered me on. :)
I saw that, a former court reporter whose livelihood depended on catching those typos, lol! It made me laugh as well. Typos aside, the post was absolutely delightful! 💛
Just delightful. You were a great teacher to these fourth graders. Their minds are like sponges when they sense a person truly cares about them. You showed them how to make their writing even better. I liked that you saved their notes to you.
This will be my favorite story of the week. Hell, the month, for sure. You bring such sass and wonder to these fourth grade kiddos. I have a fourth grader of my own and I can almost hear the idea wheels cranking in his head, gathering momentum. He’s stuck at the part where he pulls the idea from his brain and puts it on paper. I picture Dumbledore brandishing his wand to pull a thought from his memory to flick into the Penseive.
I hope to help my curious fourth grader find the sass and confidence your adorable group gifted you. Thank you for sharing your lovely, hopeful story of our future writing peers. 🦋🙏

What a great gig . . . talking to the little big people who proved to be such an inspiration! Thanks for sharing this one.

You shared your passion and told them the truth. Kids don’t often see this in grownups and it’s irresistible to them.
