However, we've had several days of blue skies and sunshine just for me. Now I know what your big changes you mentioned earlier in the week referred to. That is one lucky group of students!

Thank you for the idea of Thankus, when I first read the word I was saying it like "tank-us"… before I realized it was pertaining to Haikus. When I do this I always think of my students who struggle to read and wonder how often their reading experience is confusing like that…before the context gets clear for them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816523885799745194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-23900228205980543092014-11-08T08:27:27.351-07:002014-11-08T08:27:27.351-07:00You and Margaret both wrote about Thankus this mor...You and Margaret both wrote about Thankus this morning.
