Today was a different type of work day for me, as I wasn't in the classroom. I spent the day at a PD session with other Grade 3 teachers from our school division. Getting out of the building and meeting with colleagues from other schools can be a fantastic experience, as the exchange of ideas can often lead to trying new things - this blog is evidence of that, after a conversation I had last spring with a colleague about how she was blogging in her Early Years classroom (thanks, Erin!). I only hope that I have been able to contribute as much to these discussions with my colleagues throughout the years as I have taken away from them...
While I'm out of the classroom on numerous occasions each year, it's a little strange when it's the first time. I always wonder how my class will have gotten on without me, but these thoughts tend to rattle around in my brain a little more than usual during the first PD session or meeting of the year. I look forward to getting back into the classroom tomorrow, and reading what I'm sure will be a glowing report left for me by the very capable substitute who spent the day teaching in room 18! I'm looking forward to seeing all of my students tomorrow morning!

We are loving your blog! I'm so glad that you and Mr. Hoeppner decided to start telling the world about all of the great things you're doing in your classroom. We've been following you and have noticed that you are doing some of the same things that we are like the Daily 5 and Power of 10. We can't wait to see what you're up to next!

PS- We saw you had a substitute yesterday... have you read the book "Substitute Creature"? It's a good one!
