Expectations


“If you treat an individual as he is, he will stay as he is. But if you treat him as if he were what he could be and ought to be, he will become what he ought to be.”
-Goethe

we are lonesome animals

Picture 1
"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.

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.
