As I was walking yesterday, I pondered a friend's comment: "What if I'm not a creative type? There is no such thing! We are all creative. We need a better definition of creativity!" While contemplating this, I nearly stepped on a flower peeking through a crack in the sidewalk. This small display of resilience highlighted the ability to thrive in impeding circumstances. We may face limitations or lack mastery, yet we can still flourish by taking bold steps despite our circumstances. What's your biggest challenge? What if you give it a try? Always prioritize taking action over just hoping for change.

"I Want My Hat Back" is a humorous and engaging children's book written and illustrated by Jon Klassen. The story follows a bear who has lost his beloved hat and embarks on a quest to find it. As he questions various forest animals, he becomes increasingly frustrated until he finally realizes where his hat has gone. The book features simple yet expressive illustrations and a clever, surprising twist that will delight children and adults alike. With its dry humor and charming storytelling, "I Want My Hat Back" is a captivating read-aloud book that encourages children to think critically and pay attention to details. Happy Reading!
Feeling sad is a natural emotion that we all experience from time to time. However, it's important to remember that we can choose joy even in difficult times. Doing things that make us happy can help us feel better and turn our day around.

This book by Matt Murrie and Andrew R. McHugh inspires my students! Right now it stays on top of the bookshelf where students can readily grab a copy when they want to read. They say it is "inspirious" (I'm guessing that means inspiring and curious). They are following the example of Shakespeare by adding new words to their vocabulary. Last Tuesday, they were consumed by writing short thank you videos to Matt Murrie because he is coming to visit our classroom next week. They used WeVideo. We started the project by creating a class project. Since I did not have a firm grasp, I enlisted one adventuresome student to begin the project and share it with the class in Google Classroom. They inspired me, and I smile when I watch their final products. I hope you enjoy the video. |
Pearls take time to form; likewise, our words should be chosen carefully and with thought.
