The Final Blog

I cannot find my quote anywhere! I thought I put it in my purse, but it's not there. It's not in my pants pocket either so I picked a different one to share here.

"Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire." --William Butler Yeats

As teachers and reading specialists we have the opportunity to help create lifelong learners and instill in them a love of learning, curiosity and a passion to go out and achieve their goals and dreams.

So....the projects are done and the Live Text portfolio is submitted. It's been a fast semester for sure! I really enjoyed spending time in our small small group setting. Sheila--we made it! Alan, I wish you all the best as you continue on your path to graduation--it will be here before you know it!

Take care,

Kate

One more to go

An empowered organization is one is which individuals have the knowledge, skill, desire, and opportunity to personally succeed in a way that leads to collective organizational success.

Despite the errors in spelling, which were quite a few, we got done with one more activity. There is one more session left. You guys did a really good job on your presentations thrusday. I was impressed.

"Achievement seems to be connected with action. Successful men and women keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit." Conrad Hilton

You won't get anywhere by standing still, and you'll never know what could have been if you don't step up and try! Learn from your mistakes and don't fear them--keep trying!

I enjoyed everyone's presentations tonight and appreciated the in depth refreshers on reading strategies. I look forward to using them all!

I cannot believe next week is our last class--what a fast semester! Oh, and could my forehead be any bigger in that picture? UGH!

Have a great weekend,
