Yesterday was a beautiful day in New York City. Not a cloud in the sky and with a little bit of summer breeze still in the air. I began my afternoon up by Columbia to pick up a book at the library. Premium Rush, a new movie with Joseph Gordon Levitt was filming around campus. Alas, I did not spot him. I did see some awesome filming equipment though!






Then, as I continued downtown, I decided it was a perfect time for a cool treat. I have been dying to try the chocolate Pinkberry flavor all summer, so I finally took the plunge.


SO DELICIOUS.

Finally, I walked down to Lincoln Center, where they are hosting NY Fashion Week this year. I did not see and designers or celebrities, but I did see plenty of well dressed fashionistas!




Now, I'm just resting up and relaxing for this first week of school with my first graders. I'm excited to see how the week will go! My co-teacher and I are doing a lot of procedural things with introducing our readers' workshop, writers' workshop, and math workshop. Already, I can see that my kids l-o-v-e to read, so I am eager to continue to support them in this lifelong endeavor!
