The Writers
Little Red Head took awhile to get writing. I told him to get busy, and he drew a huge X in the air, basically right in my face. I whispered to him, "I'm going to tell your teacher you just did that."
"Okay, sorry!" he said, as he picked up his marker and got back to work.
One other, unrelated event: I was asked to help out in the cafeteria today, so I grabbed my water bottle and headed into the fray. Set my water bottle down and walked about, supplying napkins, ketchup, and some words of friendship to the littles. When it was my time to leave --- no water bottle. Come to find out, hunterman threw my waterbottle away. He said he didn't know who owned it so he threw it away. And the trash had been removed already. I forgive Hunterman, but that waterbottle was one of my best waterbottles.

I love red-headed children.
Have you read The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds? It's an awesome picture book... reminded of it reading your post. I use it as an introduction to ideas and Six Traits.
But, this is still a major thorn in the side.
E, no, the green one is good. It's the monkey juice one that's gone. I am really into my water bottles, and as 20 something daughter has written, I've requested nothing but MORE WATER BOTTLES for Xmas. I love WATER BOTTLES!
MM, Saw Peter Reynolds speak last year at ASCD. Yes, love that book.
JW. What is it about the redheads? I need to read more about the mythology of the redhead. There are some identity issues with the red hair. Do they have something to prove? Please advise, Redheaded Friend.
Streibie, You've probably already met him, but you've got to sit in the room for a bit to get his whole shtick. It's really something.
