There we were, sitting at my round table talking all things early literacy: what characteristics we see in early level text, how to teach CVC words, the weird schwa sound, how butterfly kits will fit in with our standards/next unit of study; We watched a video of a student sharing her writing (chills), and this teacher helped me pick out some resources we would need for next year.
We scheduled our meeting for a half hour (ending at 2:20), but we were so deep in conversation that neither of us realized that the clock read 2:43!
This is my first year as a literacy coach and some days I leave work feeling more coachy than other days. Today is one of those days. :)
Sounds like a very fulfilling meeting! I am a coach too and days like this is what keeps me going (that and the times I get to work with kids directly!). I hope the rest of your week follows suit!
