Every now and then, I'm absent from school to participate in professional development, workshops, training, or conferences. Recently, I've signed on to work with my state's DOE on a special curriculum writing project. Specifically, we're writing exemplar ESL units that match up language objectives with content objectives. It's both interesting and intense. En la puerta del sol.

Reach for More - Aspira a más. Bilingual thoughts on life, language, learning, and all things Latina. Saturday, November 20, 2010. Books, books, and more books! When we rang in the New Year 2010. I resolved to read a book a week this year. It's been a challenge to keep up the momentum, but it's also been exciting to see my virtual bookshelf fill up on Shelfari. My shelf is at the bottom of my blog here, if you care to take a look. So far, I've read 42 books this year! My husband, @TheAmericanPoet.

Julia's hang out to chat with readers and friends. Friday, January 27, 2012. I've had this urge lately to go on a hike. Nothing crazy, but just to walk out in nature. I think there is something restorive about being outside, breathing fresh air (which isn't an easy thing to do in California), and getting away from the normal rhythm of life that has most of us cooped up inside some sort of building.

Going through my calendar and thinking, "wow, I'm planning too much! I've decided to throw my mom a 75th birthday party in September! My girl scout troop is going to Washington DC next year to celebrate the 100 anniversary of girl scouts! But organizing parents and girls for this is huge! These are just the things that.
