Even this year in fifth, I must use it as a rein when I just want to dive into the good stuff (and I've been tempted sorely even in the first 3 days), but know we just aren't ready. I was thinking the other day that when state testing comes around late in the year, if I have laid the foundation correctly, we are able to fly through our reviews, fast, faster, fastest, and make the most of limited time. Because we were slow and deliberate when it mattered most.

On the surface it can seem like so little has been accomplished when really we've made such great strides to ensure a smoother ride for the rest of the year. Voice level - that's a fun one to tackle.
