Do not disturb: Reading in progress
So thankful that @emilyfranESL opened the OCS conference today. She grounded me back in my why in 30 minutes or less. Can't wait to read her book.
I'm thinking about next semester, and I thought I'd #AskTwitter if anyone knew of a company or organization that might donate 50 or so planners to benefit my sophomores. Thank you for any guidance you might be able to provide!
We are studying street art as a nonliterary text, and the students did a great job of "throwing" their names, using color archetypes and symbolism to carry messages from literature they connect to.
IB training in Seattle has been invaluable. Super excited to return with a PLC of educational partners from Vancouver, Alaska, Portland, Chicago, etc, a ton of notes, and a collaborative Dropbox of materials.
"The best way to improve your ability to think is to spend time thinking.
One way to force yourself to slow down and think is to write. Good writing requires clear thinking.
Writing gives poor thinking nowhere to hide."

The new school year is getting closer! I have created an Amazon wish list for my classroom, and I am so appreciative of the support that both friends and strangers alike have provided me in the past. Thank you for your support.

We have a woman here who comes in early & stays late to greet us as we come in to grade. She says we have her heart, & that's why she does it. Her authentic gestures make my day every day here, and it reminds me of the impact of acts of kindness.
