Launching WP

The date of the Writing Project launching has arrived!!

A cart stocked with supplies sits ready to roll down the hallway to the school library at 3:30 this afternoon. The students' writing notebooks are standing ready in a plastic bin, name labels tucked inside. Various pens and pencils, sharpeners, sheets of brightly colored paper, a stapler, scissors, glue sticks and tape are all huddled together on top of the cart. 

Really? You don't use scissors and tape when you write?
        [Cut the colored paper in quarters, tape or staple one piece to the writing notebook's inside cover, 
        making a pocket to safely store homework reminders, writing prompts or other little slips of       
        paper containing assorted writerly ideas.]

If I just could have gotten a little more sleep, I'd feel completely ready; but at times like this the excitement pervades even a nightly suspension of consciousness. Not even a cat-nap in sight.
