As a teacher, I love the built-in breaks!
I am now on Spring Break.
I do not need to grade any papers this weekend.
Or plan out any lessons for a unit.
I do not need to visit the library to checkout books.
Or plan out a read-aloud for a mini-lesson demonstration.
I do not need to gather items for the estimation jar
Or make a fraction anchor chart.
It's Saturday, the first day of Spring Break!
I can sleep until noon.
Then stay in my pajamas to watch NCAA basketball.
But I'm not.
Instead, I'm up at 4am.
I'm heading to Union Station.
I'm training to Penn Station, NYC
I'm heading to Riverside Church.
To pray with my people.
It's the 90th Saturday Reunion.
My 14th.
At Teachers College Reading and Writing Project.
THE place for me to be today!
Such an exciting line up of sessions today. See you soon!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day! It seems like so many that are part of the SOL challenge are going to be there.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fantastic way to begin spring break! (Except for the early alarm; I'm sure that was a bit jarring.) Have a great time!
ReplyDelete"I'm heading to Riverside Church.
ReplyDeleteTo pray with my people." YES!!! Have fun!

ReplyDeleteI loved "I'm heading to Riverside Church.

It's always a spiritual experience to be in that community.
Enjoy your reunion...and then your spring break!!! I must say I am quite jealous.
