Slice of Life | Day 10


The other day my cousin, Glenda, mentioned Glenn Gould to me in an email. I told her that I wasn't familiar with him and she replied, "You haven't lived if you have not experienced the greatness of Glenn Gould." I asked her to send a link to me and I was amazed when I listened to him play. So moving. So beautiful.

In our writing workshop , I am using the book, "A Place for Wonder" by Georgia Heard & Jennifer McDonough. Today we looked at the question, What Are Your Three Wonders?  While my students were stretched out comfortably around the room to think about their wonders, I remembered Glenn Gould and I played his music softly  in the background. It was absolutely "wonder"ful.

    For whatever technological reason, the link doesn't work on my computer, but I'll check out Glenn Gould. I love Georgia Heard and everything that she has written about getting kids to express, really express themselves in their writing. I bet this activity was really impactful!
