"Twas The Night Before School Breaks"
Twas the night before school breaks, and all through our site
Not a creature was stirring, not one megabyte!
All the bloggers were weary from wonderings galore
And giving feedback on briefs, which they all did adore.
When out of cyberspace, there arose such a clatter,
All the bloggers logged in to see what was the matter.
Nancy posted a message to reflect on the year
And to all the facilitators, spread some holiday cheer.
"Inquiry this year, has had a great start!
We are leading staff development that comes from the heart.
Through inquiry, teachers take charge of their learning,
Giving them a voice, for which they've been yearning.
Of course when teachers you work with inquire,
The winners of all, are the students they inspire!
You are leading an effort that has incedible power
To help teachers and their students blossom just like a flower!
As we begin 2008,
Know that the inquiry work we coach will be great!
We'll work hard as coaches, but together we'll stand
Helping each other, lending a hand . . .
By posting, repsonding, and sharing good stuff,
As well as what we do when times get tough.
So as we approach the coming new year.
Please proceed with your coaching without any fear.
On Mickey, on Alissa, on Deb, Gayle and Jack.
On John, Joan, and Leanne, on Rhonda Clyatt.
On Mark, Sherri, Tracy, and Nancy too!
Proceed with the very best coaching you do!
We'll meet face to face in January again.
We'll pick up the pace and continue on then.
So, let me exclaim as I sign off this site,
Happy Holidays to All, and to all a good night!"
My very best wishes to everyone for a happy, restful, and peaceful break!
Nancy
