I know that when you read the title you are thinking what in the world, why is she posting something that has to do with the Kardashians. Well I wondered why I was so intrigued to open this article which then just leads to why the article makes so much sense. I love the idea of using caution tape to close off a section of the classroom library-all the while the kids are seeing just enough to be interested and wanting so badly to see what is in there. Brilliant! Obviously, if Kris Jenner, who in my opinion has done absolutely nothing worthy of being a celebrity can get the whole world to want to know her every move we should be able to get kids to want to read. I'm going to see if I can "brand" myself a bit differently so that my students want to know about everything they can about reading.
I am a bit bothered by the fact that I found this blog now, knowing what happened yesterday on the Today show but setting those feelings aside I think that this just shows how turned around our country is right now. Why is it that people feel they need to follow the "reality" of others and forget they have their own life happening right in front of them?
Love to hear your comments.
I enjoyed this article. I never would have thought someone could take the Kardashians and turn their story into a positive teaching outlook. The part of this article that hits home is that we need to look at all areas of our teaching and be as "real" as possible in all aspects.
