Mana made me laugh. It’s beautiful. I’m definitely using your work with my students this year. Thank you!

Also, I saw 28 years later and enjoyed it. It’s mostly about a boy’s relationship with his parents plus zombies. Did you see it? If so, did you like it?

What do you teach?!

8th grade Language Arts. Poetry is the funnest part for me. (Yes, I know it should be most fun, and I reject that thinking. As an ELA teacher, I get a lot of flack for it, but it’s not fun to say “most fun.”

Can you tell I’m defensive about it?)

"funnest" is good...but maybe not as good as "most funnest"

"Mana" caught me by surprise. My first thought was "Clever lad," in the Jurassic Park / Velociraptor sense.
