School visit

Hi everyone,

I look forward to Monday morning. I’ll begin the week by making a school visit, right here in Springfield at McBride Elementary School. It isn’t an all day affair. Thanks to an invitation from Laura Strausbaugh I’ll spend an hour with 86 fourth graders to talk about poetry. After that I’ll pay a visit to the second grade classroom of a dear friend, Lisa Wakefield.

McBride isn’t far from Harrison Elementary so I suppose I might go a few blocks out of my way so I can grin at the sign again.

By 11:00 I should be home at the keyboard, revved up and ready to roll.

I wish you all a school visit feeling of a day.
