I guess every teacher might like to keep that one handy in the classroom. Congratulations on two years of writing every day, a very big deal!

I told her all she had to do was look around. All of the poems we wrote yesterday came from things in the library, or topics that the kids wanted to write about. <br /> Life is good. Thanks for hosting today and keep writing.
