Your enthusiasm for the literacy projects is infectious. Thank you! I can't wait until we finalize some of these great ideas and begin . . . Keep the ideas flowing. Share ideas. Search the net. Think of what has inspired you to love books, to write, to express yourself, to debate, recite, and publish? How might you use your expertise to inspire others? How much time can you reasonably give to the project?
What will you need? Whom will you need to speak to? Will you need funds? How will you manage all of the aspects of the plan--design, implementation and assessment?
Hope you find a great book to read this weekend. You have all set a reading goal for Monday. Good luck. Remember: one minute per page is ample time for most books that we read for pleasure. Choose a book that you'll be able to concentrate on during class.
Appreciate you respecting the classroom today, arriving on time, and particpating so willingly. We have a lot to learn together and I'm looking forward to learning from you. We'll start our short story unit on Monday.
I have us booked into the library to really research the literacy projects and confer with Mrs. Tweedie.
Have a great weekend.
