The Vacation Vibe

So, this summer I spent a lot of time meeting new people and stumbling upon random fun experiences while traveling. When I got home...and reluctantly started working again...I made a vow to myself to keep up with the vacation vibe and continue to meet new people and be open to the random things that come my way. It's funny how when we are at home in our safe little lives it is easy to be closed off to interesting things that pass by us every day and not even notice them. Anyway, last Saturday night Kassey (my Mexico counterpart) and I managed to attend a random birthday party, get invited to a club opening, make some friends from Connecticut, France, and Morocco, and hear one of my favorite house remixes. Sometimes random fun can be the best kind of fun :)

I Believe!

The cutest thing happened today with a couple of my fourth graders. We were drawing pumpkins and focusing on drawing what we actually see, rather than what we think we see. This is hard for kids sometimes so I told them it is all about your attitude. If you believe you can do it, then you probably can. Anyway, I left them to draw for a little while and I came back to find these drawings (see above). I guess I was right!

Stars Concert

I went to see Stars at the Fillmore with Kassey and Kimia. It was sold out so we get posters!

4th grade weaving

The kids were so proud of themselves! Part of the project was to use colors to symbolize values. So, each weaving represents things that are important in each kid's life.
