באלסקה שנת הלימודים התחילה לפני כשבועיים, ודוג נון כבר עובד עם התלמידים שלו על קריאה, ועל הבלוג של הכיתה.
- We've got the student website up and running, and the kids started posting things there yesterday. This was the first post to go up:
- Yay! We Started!
I'm really happy and excited that we finally started using the website!! Normally I would hate writing ( I guess typing is different) but this is probably gonna be a whole lot more fun!
- Short, but sweet. And generally reflective of what else I saw and heard going around the room. A few look like they may not want to have anything to do with writing on the website or anywhere else for that matter (like, they didn't write anything for 30 minutes) and I'm thinking about what I might be able to do for them. When I taught beginning swimming, there were always kids who didn't want to get in the water, and I'd praise them for dangling their legs in the pool – taking little steps. It's the same with teaching.
- Getting Organized

אין זה מזיק לזכור שהדברים הקטנים, כמו התלהבות של תלמיד, הם אלה שנותנים סיפוק בעבודה החינוכית. נון מודה שלא כולם מתלהבים כמו התלמיד שהוא מצטט, אבל הנסיון מלמד שהוא מוצא את הדרך גם אל התלמידים שמתלהבים פחות.
