Here we are, back in Bailey Hall, though one flight up and a vast improvement from the second floor. We are comfortable with more space and less humidity. As happy as we are to see one another, we feel the absence of friends who could not join us for the Fall sessions. We will miss them.
Patricia Opened the day with some wonderful six-word memoirs.
We had a quick refresher on the expectations for the Fall (see "helpful links" or the shared folder for the Fall Requirements Doc), and a couple of cool announcements: 1) SMWP is hosting a Writing Marathon in Portland next weekend. Bring a pen, bring a friend, and join us for a day writing around the Old Port!
2) The Technology Conference is definitely happening on November 7, so ask for a professional day this week and register early (keep your eye on your inbox for registration information). You'll recognize some names on the presenter list and have an opportunity to meet some great people while learning some things about technology that you can share with your own colleagues.

Writing Time -- any time at all during the school year is a gift, and writing time in particular comes as a rare and precious commodity.
Book Discussion -- small groups gathered by book choice and answered three questions about the book from the Rethinking Teaching Practice category: Thinking Out Loud on Paper, Room 109, Crafting Digital Writing and When Writing Workshop isn't Working. Each group shared a strategy, idea or concept that participants agreed was important.
Presentation Blurbs -- fascinating and dynamic brochure-worthy blurbs were crafted and shared on a google doc.
Closing Moment -- Rebecca shared ZeFrank's eloquent video "Sad Cat Diary." If you enjoyed today's clip, check out his True Facts videos.
