Honestly, I've been telling many adults, "I'm too old to keep this energy level up any more." Ah, but when the kids arrive, the joy returns. We had 70 young people, grades 3 - 12, yesterday and they were quick to rejuvenate the joy of writing, the zest for words, and the passion for storytelling.
Actually, I need to highlight the educators: Jessica Baldizon, Stefania Vendrella, Allison Fallon, and Emily Diggs. I'm amazed by what they are able to get the young people to compose in simply a week's time.
This morning, however, I also welcome teachers to the teacher institute. I believe we are good to go, and I can't wait to carry forward the National Writing Project tradition.
Sorry to be brief today, but I'm lucky if I have time to brush my teeth.
Happy Tuesday everyone.
