Tuesday

1. I actually had THREE meetings today. ALL of which were meaningful, productive, AND focused on student learning! AAAAHHHHH!
2. Yes. I wear sandals. Even when it's 10 below. I'm sure you have your own special stupid things you do on principle.
3. Lunch with Jeremy K and Lindsay. It's nice to get out and about. Even if out and about is just the second floor.
4. My Colorado Writing Project peeps. You know who you are. And you're awesome. And your students know it.
5. Reading books with Jack. Even though I really don't like "Red Fish Blue Fish." He can read all by himself!!!
6. Have I told you that I love "Write Like This" by Kelly Gallagher? I do.
7. Don't tell anyone. But I totally rock out to Billy Joel's Songs in the Attic in my car every day. Especially #1, #2, #7, and #10. Loudly.

Good Tuesday.
