“If you were all alone in the universe with no one to talk to, no one with which to share the beauty of the stars, to laugh with, to touch, what would be your purpose in life? It is other life, it is love, which gives your life meaning. This is harmony. We must discover the joy of each other, the joy of challenge, the joy of growth.”
— Mitsugi Saotome
Hey, this is off topic, but I read this about teaching math in the New York Times today -- http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/21/health/research/21brain.html -- and it reminded me of the way you've described working with your kiddos. Nice work! Sounds like your art classes will be nicely complimented by some surreptitious math skills.
Wow! Or, as Kieran likes to shout,
ReplyDelete"Yowza-Wowza!"
Congratulations on the big clean-up-I bet it feels great :_
Hugs,

Whoa! Total transformation!! I am impressed! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's certainly impressive. I think I would not have had the stamina to see that through.
ReplyDeleteIt's so odd to see summer. For once I am not jealous. We've had snow and it has been absolutely fantastic. We've had sooooo much fun.
Yaaaay - what a feeling. And even without Drew's help! x
ReplyDeletelooks fabulous! Hey!!! Do you travel :-)
