Be Ware

Be Ware.
Don't say that the kids didn't warn you about the sharks in here.
We had full size creatures of all shapes and sizes-
tiger sharks, dolphins, manatees, sea horses, puffer fish, angler fish...
you name it.

After a quiet year feeling my way in a new school,
I am happy to be back at home working
at what I feel I do best.
Designing developmentally appropriate projects
and engaging kids in creating a vision.






The technology at me new school is really what takes it to the next level.
Researching on the computers and
creating posters in microsoft publisher...

but really, its just about watching kids do their best work
because they care about what we are creating.

and the public-
i.e. the rest of the school community-
lavished them all in praise
well deserved.

I am a happy teacher this Friday.
I've earned my week-end.

Gratitudes: Valentine's Day Edition

just one more reason to break out the glitter
mental poetry
new days
music
week-end plans
nights out
tequila shots
laughter
sun salutations before sunrise
long week-ends
peanut butter
fresh water to drink
snooze buttons
surprises
looking ahead
my husband's smile
the light left on for me
a good night's sleep
childhood memories
puddles
fresh pinapple
waking up before the alarm clock
the smell of hazelnut coffee
family
talking politics
hearing my dad call me pumpkina kind husband
hope
assistance
growth
love.
