The March Slice of Life Challenge is hosted by Stacey and Ruth at their blog,
I am so grateful and appreciative to all of the community for your comments to me in these recent two days. Thank you for your concern, your kindness and the sharing of the parts of your lives that have touched some parts of mine.
As I have read and re-read comments, I connected to something in the classroom that I did when I taught that has similarities to my post. I felt a need to TELL my story, to gather support as well as advice. When I taught, my students wrote a letter to me three times a week. These were called letter journals, and were private between each student and me. Three days a week I sat after school and answered each one. The purpose was for the student to share how their lives (school and otherwise) were going, what was working, what was not, who was a good friend, who was bugging them, what they wished would happen, what they wanted from me for support, and so on. Any topic was okay.
