Today I'm thankful for: My ability to read. When I am doing research in the area of reading, and I realize how complex the process is, I'm thankful. My Mother read to me from the time I was little. We sang songs and said rhymes together. My first grade teacher loved Dr. Seuss and had us reading (and really devouring) his books.
On the "Family Front": Wednesday night is our "kidless" night. DSs 3 and 4 are out at youth group. LG is out at church. DS 1 is sometimes around, but he's pretty quiet. I love it!
My Educational Journey: People have asked "why are you doing another Master's degree?" My former boss said it best, "You may not ever 'use' the key in your pocket, but if you get to the door and you don't have it, you might be sorry." This will be a degree in educational leadership which will open doors for me when I'm ready.
My Running Notes: I feel like I'm going to have to start all over. UGH! I didn't get out tonight either. I could give excuses, but I won't.
What I'm Reading: Educational research again! Imagine this, though...the research continues to show that it's the TEACHER not the PROGRAM that makes a difference for kids and learning!
On my Mind: I am excited to go with some of my fellow colleagues to see "The Producers" tomorrow night at our local theater! It will be nice to be with friends. And I LOVE the theater! DH and I saw this play a few years ago in NYC with Tony Danza. It will be interesting to see the local cast's rendition.
