One of the great parts of being part of the National Writing Project family is to work in K-12 schools in support of teachers and their wonderful young people. Yesterday, I had my coffee and walked two blocks to Wooster Middle School to work with ELA teachers and their students in 7th and 8th grade who are prepping for SBAC testing, but also putting their fingers into a little poetry. I believe we, Nohea Breedan, a senior from Fairfield University, accomplished for six straight hours without a break.
Ah, before I left, however, I did a little study of looking a little closely as the gorgonzola cheese I craved for a cheeseburger on Wednesday night. This morning, if the rain subsides, I will walk Karal, participate in several ZOOM calls, and head to campus for a faculty meeting. I'm TGIF'ing like it's the most fabulous TGIF in the world.
I am exhausted.
