Here I am. Back after a not so brief break. I feel inspired to write and to blog again.
Today myself and 3 friends went on a road trip! We traveled to Coldwater, Michigan to experience Patricia Polacco. When we arrived she was already in the midst of speaking to the crowd. She spoke of her life experiences and beliefs on NCLB. She spoke of her support of educators and the roles they play in the lives of children. She awed and inspired me. Later, she signed books. She was so gracious. She seems to be a real down to earth person. WOW! She mentioned she is great friends with JK Rowling....yes THE JK Rowling. And still so down to earth. I appreciate people like this.
After returning to Fort Wayne, my oh so dear friends proceeded to help me organize my huge piles of Readers Workshop and Writers Workshop lessons into binders and also to find mini-lessons within different texts. I so appreciate them. These 1,000 thanks are for you. Without your support and encouragement I'd be so incredibly lost.
Thanks for a phenomenal day!

i so missed visiting you on the blog site. thank you for the thanks, it's really not necessary. I loved every minute of the day. thank you for being a part of the day!!!!
Now that I know that your buds are helpful at organizing, I wonder what kind of bribe it would take to solicit help some blustery weekend afternoon...there's a lake involved (ie, pond=peace...maybe lake=more peace?) It was nice to see you at the conference yesterday. ;)
