A very happy birthday to my best friend, Linnea. She is now joining those of us who have been 28 for a good portion of the year. :) She'll learn to love that in years to come, I'm sure!

2. making reading groups that work
3. teaching writing at 2:00 whether math is done or not.
4. I'm excited to finally own Razzle Dazzle Writing and Writing Whizardy.
