This past Saturday I woke up at 5 am to go to see Dave Burgess, author of Teach Like a Pirate, in Moraga at Saint Mary's College. I love, love meeting authors! He was amazing, and I highly recommend his book. I'm going to use his "teaser" hook and just share the word cloud and a few pictures from the day... If you want to know more check out my blog post from Lead.Learn.Sparkle or read the book!

Word Jam in 2nd grade- which Julie blogged about!
Reading "Deck the Walls" to classes! I loved the kinder version of fa-la-la which sounded a little like la-la-la!
The homemade turkeys outside TK. Big Papi is AWESOME!
The kids' behavior at lunch. They filled my bucket!
