I'm off to Washington D.C. for four days to chaperon eighth graders. I'm exciting for this opportunity and ready to soak it all in even though the weather looks like it'll be rainy. Many of the units we cover in reading highlight things that I will experience up close. I hope FPE training will come in handy and I plan to create a highlight reel for the students when I return. I've been thinking about what kinds of podcasts would be beneficial for students to listen to and without having searched for any yet, I think that ones created by other students would be a good place to start. I also hope to find ones that captivate the listener through storytelling and vivid use of words so that you can picture what the speaker is talking about. I'm going to attempt to submit week 2 blogs from my blackberry from D.C., but I've never tried it so you'll have to wait and see how it goes.

I was just in DC at the end of April. I'd never been before and it was an amazing city to visit. Not sure how I'd fair having to look after lots of kids, but that no doubt adds to the experience. Hope you had a great time.
