I started my reading course today, 

"Reading Workshop: Aligning Literacy Curriculum & Engaging All Learners."

We reviewed the structure & components of a reading workshop, set up our reading notebooks, and started reading our independent reading books. My book is Wonder by R.J Palacio.  Have a good night!  I have homework!!

What a beautiful Sunday. I started the day with yoga and then ran a 5k race. Here is a picture from my back deck. It's hard to see, but there are baby robins in a nest waiting for their momma to bring them some worms.  Yesterday, before the hockey game, I went to Taylor Park to visit Ms. Dion. She sells greats vegetables! I got some butter crunch lettuce and snap peas.  Here is a picture of Erin's last hockey game.

I am at my daughter's hockey game right now wearing flip flops. Gotta love summer hockey. She is playing in the Make A Wish All Star Classic. It is her official last hockey game. I am having trouble getting pictures on here because I am not using the app. I will update with more tomorrow.
