Phantogram: Don't Move

Remember:

back in 2008

we are lonesome animals

"We are lonesome animals. We spend all our life trying to be less lonesome. One of our ancient methods is to tell a story, begging the listener to say --- and feel--- "Yes, that's the way it is, or at least that's the way I feel it. You're not as alone as you thought."

- John Steinbeck

Go!

I could stare at the butterfly case or the gems and rocks forever.

In 2010 I went on a field trip with some of my family to the old location at the U. see it here.

unBury The Floors

1/16/12
I'm off-track from school so first thing I did was tackle my room. I got it all dusted and cleaned and framed two new pieces of art I got for Christmas. It was the best to clean it up a bit and change some things.

The panorama shot is from the app Photosynth. (thanks for the tip Ryan Wells)

I listened to line through lines top 25 of 2011. Add it to your spotify. Good jams.

January classroom

January was a blur. We got back from New Years and two weeks later I am off-track. (not mad)

for example, I put up this bulletin board and took it down less then a week later because I was moving classrooms so the next teacher could move in.
They made goals for 2012 using the flip-up freebie I found on Pinterest.

Utah blows my mind almost daily. I really love driving in the mornings and seeing the skylines, sunrises, and mountains give a different scene every time. It's remarkable. I've wanted to do a picture-a-day project, I still want to. This was taken outside my car at school last week.


I've done this project for the past couple years. I like this one because it's great for them to create something 3-dimensional and they love it. Takes some prep time to pre-cut the pieces, but fist-pumps for mom helpers.
