ashley saw this sticker and said it reminded her of me:

mops in the jungle

i rearranged all the furniture in my room and

got some organizational things to avoid constantly

having multiple piles of papers, books, assignments,

and binders all over the floor.

on friday, we made turkey hands with a

scientific informational sentence.

the left one is my protocol.

the right one is one made by a student :)

it says "i know a turkey is colorful."

"have faith in the process."

today consisted of running records

& roasting marshmallows.

!spaghetti squash!

autumn autumn autumn.

it's my new favorite season.

kiki and i both bought too many groceries:

look, the bags ripped open.

"look, a moth! let's use our looking-lens"

*5 kindergarteners rush to get a good look
but in the process, end up accidentally

crushing it to death*

we all watch it flutter helplessly
to the ground with its smashed wings.

everyone was silent.

"oh..look what happened, ummm

come here & look at this pretty flower instead..."

a group of my favorite little humans

ran up to me last Friday & all tried to hug me

at the same time.

 it was the best group hug i've ever had.
(dozens of smiling 5-6 year olds screaming
your name when they see you is..awesome).

 i made a mailbox out of

colored card-stock paper and

i've been "sending" them mail

to keep in contact for the 4 days i'm not there.

cathy says they love

listening to my letter

and looking at the stamps i draw.

heads or tails by lilli carre
this is one of my favorite [graphic] novels.

it is whimsical, strange and original.

it feels sort of like magical realism

conveyed through illustration.

i read the whole book

during one sitting a few weeks ago.
