Have you ever really thought about the little moments, memories, and experiences that make up your life? All those separate experiences that when put together, make up who we are. I asked the kids to think about their memoir writing in this very way--to look at their lives as a beaded necklace. Each memory, each life changing moment is like a single bead on a string. What I believe the kids were able to realize today in their writing is that all it takes is a single moment to completely change our lives forever. A single moment can make a lasting impact, and compel us to become better human beings. Today as the kids were mapping out their childhood memories on a piece of butcher paper, I experienced a moment I will remember forever. In the waning minutes of the day, 15 school children grew up before my eyes. Their insights on their childhood transformed them from children into young adults.
NO HOMEWORK TONIGHT! HAPPY WEDNESDAY!
