So, today it began - Writing for Fabulous Prizes - an iPod Shuffle is a pretty fabulous prize.  The kids got really excited about it.  Some even wrote their "dream" poems about how they dream for an iPod!  I wish I could post some of them - they are truly adorable.  I'm going to look into the legality of posting student writing, because they are seriously adorable!
