How fortunate I was to work in Bethel, WA last week with hundreds of teachers getting ready to go back to school! This was a follow-up training, so we built upon successes and problem solved on what they’d been trying with literacy work stations since last summer. As an extra bonus, it was lovely being in a cooler climate and seeing all those big trees! I even got to eat lunch outdoors in August! Their playgrounds sure look a lot different than ours in Houston.
