After some brainstorming, we hit the markers and started decorating our circles.
The 6th graders started telling me about people, events, books, locations, and other things that held significance in their lives. Harry Potter turned a nonreader into a reader. A student who recently came to Nicaragua is trying to grapple with moving from one part of the world to another. Music has, and always will be, the best part of another student's day.
Working in the library has given me more time and more opportunities to listen to my students and to hear their stories. Give them a little prodding, and they have a lot to say.
