I had quiet moments like these...

...on our new deck!  Look at me developing professionally!!!  I was trying so hard to get to MA +90 over the summer, taking clock hours from My 24/7, but alas, (spoiler alert) I came up a few credits short.  But I loved Donalyn Miller's sequel to The Book Whisperer.  I love turning kids on to reading...and I picked up some great things to update in my classroom this coming year.
PS--Jeff was so supportive of giving me time over the summer to do these hours!  He was an amazing encourager!
