I read this recently and it really spoke to me...
It is important to fall in love again. Somewhere each day we must fall in love with some
one, some thing, some moment, event or phrase. Somehow we must break free from the noise and allow for the softening of the heart. Otherwise our hearts will move inevitably toward cynicism, bitterness, fear and despair..
If we don’t pause, the hardships of the world will slowly de-sensitize us from the simple joys that life has to offer.
Stop and take a breath.
Enjoy the moment without needing the moment to be perfect. Life is what happens between the cracks of perfection.
It is a discipline to consciously simplify and re-discover those moments of falling in love again.
and again.
Learning Together...
Here's a great example of the power of learning pairs:
The students in Brittany's class have a wide variety of fine motor skill development. When her students are working with a partner, the student with the more developed handwriting skills writes the word with a yellow marker. The student with the less developed handwriting skills traces over the letters. What a great way to encourage shared responsibility and collaboration!

A new member of the family!!
We saved a puppy yesterday. He is the greatest ever and loves Daegan so much! Meet Charlie Quinn. We would have named him Harley Quinn due to the two diamond spots on his forehead but he's a boy.
