Well, here we are, a few weeks before the start of the school year.  My district has purchased a new reading series but I haven't gotten any of my TE's.  Wouldn't it be nice to be familiar with the curriculum before we had to teach it?  One day of professional development isn't going to slice the poupon for a whole new series.  Why does it seem that circumstances so often work against the classroom teacher?  Where's the warehouse? I'll go get my own books!
