It’s starting to get to that time of year as an ELA teacher when some students need a bit more of a push as writers—and leaning on this collection of sentences has been a go-to resource, in case it’s helpful for others: #EduSky

sometimes I think about how weird music is. "ah yes, I enjoy listening to sounds sequenced in a specific way that triggers emotions in my brain." very normal
