Wordle art

Yes, it's true. Wordle borders on the addictive. I've posted wordle art based on my delicious bookmarks to the right, and I think it looks great. Could be a creative writing assignment in this--William Carlos Williams as art, perhaps.

The End of School is Coming!

Today I had my last meeting with a group of kids I do enrichment activities with. They were such a pleasure to teach. At the end, they asked if they can meet with me next year. And I didn't know what to say. My time is being cut, down to 50%, and I doubt that having me do enrichment is part of what I will be doing if I only have half time to run a school library. But I told them I would see what we could do. I hope it happens.

On the other hand, I am enjoying the enthusiasm all the children in the building are showing for the nearness of summer. They are like little (0r not so little) animals cooped up, needing to be set free to run and play in the outdoors. I am looking forward to our last day, field day, when we get to do exactly that--run and play outside.

I'm tired, and ready for a break, but I wish I could have just a little more time to put everything in order before hand. Still, maybe it is impossible to have everything organized.

Here's to a summer full of good books, cold ice tea, bright sunshine, cool breezes, and pleasant walks with family and friends.
