i've been teaching my kids alot of

 exciting things about the world, such as:

-scientific information about sea stars

-to write persuasive petitions about solutions

to problems we see at school and in the larger world

-to apply what we have learned about the

properties of different types of fabrics to solve

problems we have in our daily lives

With 3 teachers observing me,

i had my 8th and final observation today!

my interdisciplinary science-math-art

graphing lesson went phenomenal and it makes

me so ecstatic to have such engaged students
demonstrate all that they have

learned from MY science unit on fabric.

i also calmed a stranger down at the bus stop today

who was going through a crisis. i think our

conversation might have helped prevent him from

going to jail (again). before i departed,
we shook hands and he thanked me for "being a
teacher and teaching him."
