"I have grown to appreciate the task of helping children take better care of themselves, of each other, and of their classrooms. It's not a waste. It's probably the most enduring thing that I teach. In a world filled with global violence and threats of environmental devastation, where drugs and guns are easily available, learning to be more decent and to build caring communities is hardly a waste of time."
-Ruth Sydney Charney, Teaching Children to Care


"I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework."
-Lily Tomlin as "Edith Ann"

Five more days until I see my classroom! In the meantime, I've been working on my welcome signs. I have a pretty diverse classroom, so I wanted to make a sign that reflected different languages including home languages of the kids. I still need to get my sister to write in Japanese.
