Linda, were your ears burning??

I walked by our executive teacher's office (I know, that's a topic for another entry!), and on her desk was a photo-copied (I've quit saying Xerox copied, cuz they all laugh at me for saying odd things) version of Linda Hoyt's Revisit, Reflect, Retell. I came to a screeching stop and smiled so big! It's like walking down the aisle in the grocery store and seeing the little roll packages of Oreos! A sign from Home!!

I found Deb and exclaimed how I was thrilled to see her interested in Linda as well! She spoke of her vaguely that she seemed like a very interesting educator and she was just learning about her. Ahhhh!

I tried to not leap out of my seat and blabble on and on about loving all of her books, going to numerous sessions, interviewing her for special projects in grad school, and how she was once upon a time a lowly teacher at Sunrise Elementary!!!!! I restrained myself and mentioned how I'd brought many of her response sheets from Re,Re, and Re with me here and how her videos are certainly worth purchasing. I did mention she was a Portland girl . . .

It's a small literacy world. Let the revisiting begin!
