Home Again

Hello to all,

I have arrived home safely through snow and rain, but with not trouble. I am so thrilled and excited with all I have learned and the friends I have made at the Spring Mingle. I can't wait to sit down and begin writing. Also I am toying with ideas of how to most effectively volunteer in the local middle school to created a win-win situation to help them and learn more about my audience. If you have any ideas for me please let me know. Right now my main thought is to walk in to the office and ask where could I be of assistance and still observe students interaction, so not necessarily study hall :). I would even kind of like to start some sort of writing group with them to give back to the community. I have my K-8 teaching degree, so with a look at standards, I am qualified.

I was also looking at the blog of Shelli Johannes-Wells who spoke at the conference and recommended blogging. Her blog is of course AWESOME so I may try to imitate some of the things she has done like including blips about projects I am working on for people to comment on so please keep checking back.
