Was lucky enough to observe, contribute ideas and enjoy the making of TJ O'Briens. Although I do not get enough time to attend the regular festivities as I would prefer, everyone I know is extremely happy there is new blood on the block. A new establishment to add some spice. Its my favorite place if I'm going to town...for the younger crowd I have only heard rave reviews. TJ Obrien's as I said before ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!Its the hospitality.

I've done a version of it with those ABC steps, but I really like the finishing described here. Thanks for those important ideas about reading. It's amazing how much good stuff happens very quickly when students get the right materials in their hands. That lesson idea is great.

Let's keep our antennae up for some ways to connect our classes or somehow collaborate. I think we're on the same page.
