Wow. My brain is full! We had our 'job alike' today and I spent 6 hours mixing and mingling with other learning specialists from our district. It was one of those 'tasks' that I dreaded. Didn't want to go at all. I wanted to stay in bed this morning, sure that the day would be less than fun, and only somewhat useful. I was sure that I could get so much done at work today. Sure that my time would be better spent somewhere else. Boy was I WRONG! I hate it when I'm wrong :-(
It is amazing...the power of collaboration. Just sit three of four people down together and the ideas begin to fly! Get a bunch of teachers together and there may be fireworks. Teachers are, I believe, some of the most passionate people out there! Thank goodness. Today I learned how much more I need to learn. I learned that I have an incredible network of knowledgeable people at my fingertips. There is something about being in a group of people that you really don't know, at least not well, that lends itself to opening up. At least for me. Today I had a lot to say. I was not afraid to share my thoughts and concerns. It felt good to suggest ideas as well as heed the advice of others. Actually, I'm pretty excited for Monday. There is so much that I want to try. So many ideas that I can take back to my colleagues and kiddos!
It turned out to be a very productive day...and quite humbling. So glad I rolled out of bed this morning!
Friday night (1800 Tequila~Anejo, fresh lime, kosher salt, and a beer chaser)!!!

I work at a school that is on a 'modified' calendar, so I am fortunate enough to have several two-week breaks throughout the year....
Glad you had such a good day. I came home feeling the same way!
