Great experiences

Today was another amazing day. I wonder if I will ever get used to all this mental stimulation. I was so surprised by the free write this morning--I haven't used that method (for myself) in a long, long time, but it seemed to generate ideas for me that I had no idea about until I began. The experience taught me a lot. I really need to give my students this opportunity a lot more than I do. Also, I so appreciate Marlene's enthusiasm and compassion for her needy fourth graders. They are so fortunate to have her! Thanks everyone for comments and insights!
