"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"

SNOW DAY!!!

First snow day as a full-time teacher. I love the excitement at the school (I drove in, as it was decided to close the school after I arrived). I decided to stay and help answer phones, watch kids, and inform parents who drive up. It's more fun to be here than at home (never thought I'd think that about snow days). Everyone's bustling around and full of snow joy.
