Monday's class

Wow! How relieved I am to know that their is "no perfect writer". Even though I know I have a long way to go in my writing abilities, after today's class my confidence is much greater. As, I mentioned earlier in class, teaching first grade has helped me relax and become a better writer. Hopefully, I can carry this over to my own classroom and eliminate unnecessary fear of writing for my students so that they may become better writers.

I am also glad to hear that there are no perfect writers. I feel a lot better about myself in hearing that. I also know that by telling my students this would have done away with a lot of anxiety.

I was also glad to hear that there are no perfect writers. That was one of my favorite comments in the whole article.
