I did The Work with my students yesterday. During a journal writing assignment about parents, Trevor came up with the thought, “My parents are not interesting.” He shared that he felt frustration with this thought. I did popcorn inquiry with the entire class. When we got to the turnaround, “My parents ARE interesting.” Sweet Trevor was the first one to find something interesting about his parents. Today he came in and told me his mom was interesting last night because she told a joke. 🙂
