Yes, I wasn't there on Friday because I was at the annual conference of the Utah Council of Teachers of English and Language Arts. (That's a mouthful!) It was fun to spend time with other teachers, picking up new ideas and inspirations, and to meet the visiting authors and gurus. I'm posting here my picture with Gary Soto. If you haven't read any of his books, you're missing out! Try
Living Up the Street or
Baseball in April for starters.
