Check out the writers, readers and teachers here. Thanks to Stacey, Anna, Beth, Tara, Dana and Betsy at “Two Writing Teachers” for creating a place for us to share our work.

Anticipation

Today’s a big day at work.   Well, they are all big days!  But in a few hours approximately 200 teachers and administrators will be filing in for professional development around K-3 literacy:  specifically, Instructional Practices, Iowa Core ELA Standards, Assessment for Learning,  and Quality Interventions for Fluency K-3.  Huge day!   Big topics that merit full days but we, literacy team, have five hours of learning delivered simultaneously in three locations.

Why am I awake so early?  

It must be the anticipation of a GREAT learning day!  It  can’t be “anxiousness” about the event; an event to be streamed through technology (zoom) to three sites. No pressure . . . No stress  . . . No worries . . . Just fabulous  learning, RIGHT?

The alternative?

I choose anticipation!
