Taking The Mystery Out of Writing – Assembly Notes

1. I had a blast!
2. I’m glad I wasn’t getting graded because I made all sorts of mistakes.
3. It’s going to be way better next time (and shorter). I learned so much.
4. When I was introduced they made it sound like I was way cooler than I really am.
5. Kids are awesome noise makers. Especially when classroom frogs go crazy.
6. When I said PLOT is a four letter word I didn’t mean plots were evil. I really meant it’s a word with four letters. Oops, guess that didn’t come out right.
7. A few times I could tell the kids got it and had learned something. Those were the best moments.
8. I look ridiculous in the video. I hope the kids were laughing because they were engaged and having fun, and not because a crazy women was parading around in front.
9. The pressure of picking volunteers was too much – hundreds of hands waving in the air. I had the teachers pick; smartest thing I did the whole assembly.
10. I seriously needed a nap afterwards. It took a lot of energy to put on an assembly.
