what excites you?

I've been wondering what people are most excited about for the Literacy Alive conference. For me, it's Lester Laminak's closing keynote. I can't wait to be inspired all over again! His speech has been one of those things that's stuck with me from our time in NYC.

Leave a comment (or, coaches, create your own post!).

searching for give aways!

Tomorrow Mindy & Julia will be scouring the streets of Shipshewana searching for give aways. Can't wait to see what they find.

Author List

As I reflect on the year, I am looking forward as well. I am excited to continue to research children's authors. My purpose for this project is to create a master list for students' access in order to write authors. Reading and writing is so connected, and I think that students become more excited when they can feel connected to the author of the book. Wouldn't it be totally exciting to get a letter from an author? I would be. So, I want to provide this opportunity to the students next year.
