As I put down the grade marking pen today, I think, what would my children think if they knew exactly what their teacher thought of them. I am so thankful that technology has not gotten to the point where my thoughts can be read. Would you be so surprised to find that your mouthy 7th grade daughter is so thoughtful and insightful and kind today - to a struggling special ed student? I see students' inherent kindness. I hear that skater kid complement another. Little acts of compassion - from students that will inherit our world. What happens to make them such cynical adults? From my side of the desk, I see them smile, struggle, and learn. It is my life's work - and I love it!
Each day/week a window into this world will be opened. Enjoy.

favorite bird
my favorite bird is the sparrow. Why? because without the drab little ordinary sparrow, you wouldn't notice the bird of paradise.
