Venturing forth on another expedition to Teachers College to further explore Readers Workshop.

2011

Back in the saddle again for Round 3. K and I are ready to add some shine to our Writers Workshop strategies this summer. Until we jump on the bandwagon Monday morning we are taking note of the metropolitan environs... and then some.

2010


After jumping in with both feet, teaching Readers and Writers Workshop in our classrooms for a year, K and I are back at Teachers College for Act II. We are attending Readers Workshop and will be filling the bill with more strategy focused morning and afternoon sessions. Until Monday, when the training gets underway, we are obligated to paint the town red, (or "read", as the case may be).

The World is Our Oyster













Saturday and I could sleep in.  Ahh... 10:30...  The proper way to start a holiday.
DR and I went to the Museum of Natural History and did some time with the dinos
 and bones.  









I kept asking myself, "Is that real?"













We swashbuckled past the picnicers in Central Park...












...to meet K and L for a traditional 4th of July dinner of cocktails and cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery at the Rockefeller Plaza Rink Bar.  










Inside 30Rock L got on line in the appropriate cue to go the appropriate floor where
 her imaginary office awaits.  Actually we spent a bit of time in the lobby hobnobbing with the doorman and security to try and get access to the top for viewing the fireworks.  No dice.









Then we eventually boogied on down...













 to some anonymous corner where we were packed ourselves in like sardines to see 
the Macy's
 fireworks over the Hudson River.

    Hope you've recovered from the festivities on the 4th! Looks like an exciting time to be in The Big Apple.
