Well it's the day after the Saturday Reunion at Teachers College and I write this from my hotel, in bed at 7:30am on my phone. So, I will have to elaborate later :-) I may follow Fran's lead and do just a little summary of the experience with intentions of elaborating in the next few days. However, my summary I mean one little word:-)
OLW for each part of yesterday.
Hotel- anticipation
Cab ride- excitement
Patricia Polacco- heartfelt (not a dry eye in the room)
Shanna Schwartz- pacing (something I can always work on)
Kylene Beers- incredible
Lucy Calkins- generous
Kylene Beers (closing keynote)- hopeful
Walking 70+ blocks "home"- ouch
Dinner (rinkside at Rockefellar)- relaxing
Radio City Music Hall show-mesmerizing
Hotel-restful
Today-repeat the fun
Phew!
What an amazing day. Kyleen and Patricia together on the same day! Sounds like time well spent.
