I'm here sitting across with Lee and Husbandman. Seriously! Isn't that crazy? I'm sitting in their living room with my feet on their couch and drinking their coffee. Yesterday, I went to Thirdlandia with Dr. H., and I'm so flipping serious: It's every bit as fabulous as I imagined it to be.
There was singing, there were lit circles, there were multi-paragraph essays written by every single 8 year-old in the classroom. There was this genius system for readers' workshop where the kids had choices and accountability. Basically, Thirdlandia's population is sublime. I recommend this place heartily.
I tried to help a little in there, but I was pretty useless. One thing I tried to do was coach a little guy on not sneezing so disruptively, but he said, "I cannot do that."
Oh, well. That's why we leave things to the experts.

I beg to differ.
You set up blogs for all the Thirdlanders.
You supported the moves of all Thirdlanders throughout the day, and my moves as well. Which I really needed.
You taught about the sneezing and there will be follow up lessons next week.
You saved a child's life with the peanut allergy thing.
I guess you can all see why right now I'm on my knees, begging to differ.
I'm certain that they felt blessed to have you in the room.
I can't tell you how excited I am to learn that you have been in Thirdlandia! At this very moment I am pretending that I'm there, too. This news has just made my day.
