We are each other's audience, sounding boards, fans, and best supporters! It's because of the feedback--the community--that I, as well as SuperThinker, do what we do! (That, and a shameless blogging habit--does that count?) Anyway--it's so much fun, and inspiring, to read the impressive work that your students have been producing. When our 5th graders read some of their posts, I think they got a little scared (like you said about Will's class when they mentored your class.) They saw the quality of the work and asked several times if the kids were ALL 5th graders. I reassured them that their writing is so good because they've been implementing their learnings through their blog, and hopefully, that's what these kids and their teacher will do--with a little help from their blogging friends!
