The years of experience in this room and the knowledge I take from those in attendance empowers me and for that I thank YOU, all those who participated in the Literacy Academy. I have learned &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;sooo&lt;/span&gt; much and feel I'm a better teacher for having attended.

They have enjoyed and  grown from the lessons I have pulled from my giant black binder. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Ultimately&lt;/span&gt;, the success of the Literacy Academy is shown through the growth of my students.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1703745766214381540-3137892606420389791?l=spendergrass.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://spendergrass.blogspot.com/feeds/3137892606420389791/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1703745766214381540&amp;postID=3137892606420389791' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1703745766214381540/posts/default/3137892606420389791'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1703745766214381540/posts/default/3137892606420389791'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://spendergrass.blogspot.com/2008/03/memorable-experience.html' title='Memorable Experience'/><author><name>Sharolette</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14926992907906646403</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1703745766214381540.post-576168755199482192</id><published>2008-03-14T10:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-14T10:58:33.221-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Power of Brevity</title><content type='html'>"For sale: baby shoes, never used." by Hemingway.
