For NaPodPoMo 2021, I decided to do something different than I’ve done in the past. Each episode I release in November of this year include pieces of an old, hand-written journal which I had to create as part of my student teaching experience in 1997.
I read “Little Pieces” on Episode 070 of Words of Jen (the 1997 series).
