There Is Something Wonderful About College Students Writing 3rd-Grade Informative Essays (As If They're 3rd Graders).

I made it to campus by 7:15. The I-95 Gods looked out for me, so there was plenty of time to print materials for class. We will be hosting the 3rd-grade Franklin writers in a week and yesterday's class was a workshop on informative writing.

I shared my own writing about Wiffleball on Duncowing, and informed the class of my childhood memories. I tried to keep in age-appropriate and drew what I intended to be a Wiffleball and players. The students then informed me about their 'something' they know about. They developed their sentences to teach me about their something. 

We also looked at the calendar, with T-Day and a conference blooming more class time, and headed towards the pace they'll need to keep in order to complete their mini-projects.

When I drove to work in the morning, it was 60 degrees, but upon my return home, the winds were pushing 40 degrees on your neck and face. It got cold.

And finally, FINALLY, I made it to the grocery store to stock on items so I'm not eating crackers and cheese every night. 

Today, a sprint to get on top of many items. I need as much computer time as I can.
