It's APRIL!

Here begins Day 3 of my literacy portfolio ... I have literally been sitting in this chair for two days straight and find myself in it again this morning, likely for the whole day. We have to compose a resource portfolio for ourselves/future reference to use when teaching filled with enduring strategies that will aid in the development of reading, writing and oral language. We've been told that 15 strategies is a minimum and will only receive a Pass grade - so I'm doing 30 strategies and I wish I'd known when I started that it takes about an hour a strategy! Some of my crazier people in my program are running straight through - not sleeping until they have it done - I'm not sure how in the world they're pulling that off but I think they're insane; after about 7 hours straight your brain just stops working and it's hard to refocus. A thanks to Afton and Kirsten for being amazing and forwarding me some of the strategies they use in their classrooms - I appreciate it so much!
And speaking of Afton ...... HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY!!!
It's the Jays home opener tonight, and not that I like baseball much at all; but it's always a fantastic reminder that summer is just around the corner. The delicious Toronto street meat, the go-train & union station, gigantic vodka lemonade's and the roof open on the Skydome.
Enjoy your first taste of summer, I'll keep my fingers crossed you don't see anymore snow!
