Footloose

Right now I am watching the movie Footloose circa 1984! That movie is almost 30 years old! The soundtrack was one of my favorites and I love the dancing scene at the end! Anyway, it was certainly a different world back then. I am not sure if I really miss high school that much but I do miss many things that happened during that time as well as the music. Watching this movie brought back so many memories... Who would of thought this movie would be shown on a Kuwait movie channel. Thanks Kuwait!

New Inspiration!

Today I became newly inspired by a teacher/writer at our school who just got his first book published. The library had an open house for him all day where students came up to hear about his adventures in the publishing world. Basically the message was to not give up. The road in getting published is long, with many bumps but you just keep plodding along.
I have just started working on my resource book regarding how to teach research skills. I would like to call it "Scaffolding Research" or "Scaffolding Research Skills". I just completed my introduction and soon want to write my query letter. After presenting many workshops and working on this curriculum for research the last four years, I believe I have enough material and knowledge to write this.
Thanks Jamie for the inspiration. I am so happy for you!
