Nothing is ever ...You're right as always, Lani. Nothing is ever a failure if we can learn from it, and I am definitely trying to figure out that missing puzzle piece for these kids.<br /><br />But sometimes when you're in the moment, and they're frustrated and you're frustrated, it's hard not to feel like you've somehow failed.<br /><br />The only real failure is if you let them fail and don't do anything about it.

I don't think anything is ever failed. ...Becky,<br />I don't think anything is ever failed. It's what did we learn.<br /><br />I'm wondering what if the students recorded what they wanted to say. If I'm understanding they can talk about what they've learned but writing is the barrier. If they can say, if they can record it, then what if they listen and then write what they hear themselves saying?<br /><br />I know there are state writing standards-- and yet if your youngsters are so challenged by writing, can't they share their ideas another way? an audioboo? a fotobabble? and then if there has to be piece of writing evidence, can't they write what they've been saying?<br /><br />Not failure, what did we learn?<br /><br />Best,<br />LaniLanihttp://possibilitiesabound.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
