Had a terrific visit last week with the St. Peter 8th grade English
classes. The students were wonderful listeners and had great questions.
They had all read Chasing AllieCat, so it was much, much fun to get to talk with them! Thanks, Ms. Hughes!
Time is flying past!
It's April 10
already! And look at the ground! Freya's happy--she was crazy this
morning, playing "Grab Mom's warm stuff and run." (Question of the day: How many exclamation marks can one writer use in one short blog post?)
Time is flying! I'm not keeping up with my days...I put out fires at
school, work on the details we need to iron out for our trip to South Africa, try to keep up grading and reading ahead of the students, and
try to squeeze in a little writing and a little cycling.
South Africa approaches, and it's getting more and more exciting as it does. Will keep you posted...might have more news by the end of the week! (There--I had to end with another exclamation point, of course).

Clive--Crestview and Indian Hills
I just spent two SPECTACULAR days in Clive, Iowa. I visited CRESTVIEW ELEMENTARY and INDIAN HILLS JUNIOR HIGH. The kids were wonderful, and we had so much fun talking about writing, dogs (Freya got to go with me!), and bikes.
I have to get ready for another school day at South Central College, so I don't have time to write much, but I'll post more as soon as I have some pictures. I had a TERRIFIC time. So did Freya, but she's pretty tired right now!
Thanks, Clive students. You ROCK!
