Today, I am trying something new. I am sitting by the lake and am no longer at the store. I have been reading the musings of many of my friends...and thought i would give it a try. They say that writing is good for the soul, so I am going to give this one a try. Thanks guys...for the new ideas.

Poetry Day
Tues was Valentines Day. Fortunately for me, it is the very LAST party I will have to deal with this school year....and now it may be that I am going back into the lab if I am still working in Michigan. This is a short week for us, as we are having Mid Winter Break here. No school Fri or Monday!!! So... I had scheduled a poetry reading for this week. The kids in class have been working on poetry books for 3.5 weeks. I decided I really only wanted to lose one day of the short week. So, I decided to have the reading in the morning of the party...I thought that was pretty good thinking, but really...it was not. I was so exhausted by the end of the day, I just wanted to sleep right in the room. The kids did great. They all read at least 2 poems and didn't get nervous or scared reading. We had something like 30 adults in the room. It was pretty awesome. I hope that the kids remember what we did as positive. :-)
