WRAD-i-cal Celebration

"I'm on the top of the world 

looking around at my students 

and the only explanation I can find 

is the books that were read by the people who came around 

their reading put us at the top of the world."

On the top if World Read Aloud Day, that is...

While Tweeting and updating statuses on Facebook Wednesday night, I finally raised my white flag, I had run out of superlatives to describe what was one of the "most awesomnessest" days.  

"I'm on top of the world..."

Yup. Still am, three days later.  

Now, only 361 more days until we get to do it all over again!
