As you may have guessed, I just can't swing that much focus for now, not even on a more random collection like the No poems. I'll just have pay attention and enjoy your Project with the 5th graders at Emerson, which is all the more interesting since Duncan is a 5th grader. Thanks for being so open about your process!<br />P.S. For some reason your blog is showing up very different than usual on my screen, just FYI. No nice design, just basic text.Heidi Mordhorsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902158336083356337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303906221917588052.post-29515803215622850852013-10-18T22:02:44.430-04:002013-10-18T22:02:44.430-04:00Oh.

I agree that they no longer fit the plot of the story, but I'll miss these darlings almost as much as you do! I love each and every one of the original members of Miss Hill's 5th grade class! <3Veronica Bartleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04452926814324819692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303906221917588052.post-75133738296836728302013-10-18T06:49:15.296-04:002013-10-18T06:49:15.296-04:00Tabatha, as Captain Picard would say, "Make i...Tabatha, as Captain Picard would say, "Make it so!"Author Amokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636391982938592789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303906221917588052.post-33328483650339489152013-10-18T06:11:06.187-04:002013-10-18T06:11:06.187-04:00Don't go, Joe!
