Early morning thoughts

Hi All,

4:00 AM seems to be my natural creative time. This morning, as I woke from a sound sleep, realizing it was Saturday and there was no reason for me to be up, I began thinking about my purchase order for next year.

Along with the usual markers, post-it pads, and fun-tak for the walls, I began thinking about subscriptions - online subscriptions. Were there sites I wanted to use but needed to pay for? Groups I wanted to join that weren't free?

And then I realized, that after 22 years of teaching, I feel almost more excited about teaching now than I have in awhile. Thanks to new technology and to Christine (my co-teacher) for forcing me to go online and meet people (it was either that or be forced to listen to her get all excited about each new group, website, person she met - I love you, Christine), I can't wait to learn this summer and start new projects next year. The hard part is waiting for all the equipment to come in.
