I sit wondering how writing can bring such strangers into the same room.

We’ve learned about others and made connections already!
Love using photo icons to build community with small kids virtually.
There has been so much movement already!
I didn’t think something like the continuum could be adapted to online. Pushing my thinking to adapt in-person activities to virtual.
I believed that creating community online was almost impossible.
So much problem solving and collaboration for students in dealing with the text and each other. Powerful!
Zoom brings out creative choices that would never work in person… cool.
Love seeing the varied choices–images, body writing, use of silence, mix of languages.
Xiomara may be remembered as a lot of things: A student, a miracle, a protective sister, a misunderstood daughter, but most importantly, she should be remembered as always working to become the warrior she wanted to be.

Loved the wisdom of my group…could have talked for another hour!
I like that the prompts can be interpreted in different ways. Each person may think of them differently.
I simply loved the prompts based on the readings. It forced me to write.
Responding to quotes from the book opened the floodgates of my thinking.
It went by so quickly. We were able to share and relate in such a short amount of time.
The prompts were amazing. in fact I feel like I will live with them beyond today.
