Literacy wasn't a big focus today. Math curriculum mapping took up the entire day. I handed out a copy of this poem to celebrate our math map enterprise. I was a little nervous to pass out the poem but I think the colleagues appreciated it. They didn't say anything. Just stared blankly, or smirked a little, but I think deep down inside they were genuinely touched.Now I'm relaxing as I always do on Friday evenings. I've read a few blogs and I read a news article about Pronto's trial. Now I'm watching Glee. Jane Lynch is making me laugh.

At school, we have a literacy coach and a numeracy coach, but the numeracy coach uses literacy strategies to help kids learn math.
literacy is truly awesome.
I had a volunteer tell me she was really going to ramp up next year and volunteer in the library a lot. And BTW, she asks, what would be the best way to organize the books?
OMG.

Literacy, math, poetry, Jane Lynch, Friday evenings . . .
There is so much to love in this blog entry. As always.
Thank you, Miss Lee.

JW, What the heck? Am I naive, or does something like that happening seem absolutely impossible because of its stupidity?
Thanks Cynthia!
I'm liking that Mary Cornish poem about Numbers I found, but that's not going to be my PiYP. (just fyi, all)
Being a number person and a word person, I am completely in love with this poem. I'd been looking for my PiYP poem and not totally feeling it with any poem until I read this one. It will be my PiYP poem tomorrow.
I love it too. If it weren't for curriculum mapping and national poetry month I never would have found it.
