Thirty-one days of writing, sharing and reading slices at Two Writing Teachers.

7:00 AM: Tea to go prepared, breakfast to go prepared, dog in kennel and car (doggie daycare today), and head to school.
8:00 AM: Morning traffic, arrive at school, transfer the pooch, and prepare for the day. Kids and a teacher are using the library for math club.
9:00 AM: Bus duty. Love saying good morning to kids. Finish getting ready to vote for the reader choice awards with third and second grade. Grab books for PreK Story time. Help a 3rd grader who’s sobbing about his mom.

Jone, fun to hear about those postcards. I’ll be looking forward to getting one again this year! Love this format for sharing your day.
Wow, what a day, Jone – glad you had time for a guilty pleasure, though!
Fun to hear about your very full day, Jone-hardly a minute to sit! And about that ‘guilty pleasure’! I watch the Voice, & enjoy seeing those who are trying so hard to “make it”. They are so talented.
So appreciate this format. May find myself giving it a go tomorrow!
That’s a full day! So glad you get to work collaboratively with other teachers. What a joy that must be! And I”m glad you get to indulge your guilty pleasures. I will probably watch “Lilyhammer” tonight when I get home from class. My wife and daughter will be away, so I can watch the things that my wife doesn’t find interesting.
