Tuesday, April 28, 2015. Nothing better than a colorful, symmetrical mandala! My sixth graders are studying India right now (if you want my Smart Notebook file for my Indian unit, click here.

KinderCoaster: December 2014
http://kindercoaster.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 30, 2014. The What If Game. So there's this game I play. I don't really like it, but I am quite good at it. I'm sure you're familiar with it too. It is called the "What If" Game. You never really volunteer to pay this game. It just happens to you. and it is about as easy to end as Jumanji. Btw, if you have any tips for avoiding/minimizing this game, I'm all ears. What if it hadn't woke him? What if I had to do cpr? What if I didn't do it right? What if it happens again? Yeah, yeah&...

KinderCoaster: July 2014
http://kindercoaster.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 18, 2014. What's in a name? Before school got out.before I even had the gender revealing ultrasound.I asked my students what they thought I should name our baby and why. I wasn't really looking for their input, just curious what their little six-year-old minds would come up with. You know, kids say the darndest things! I was surprised at how reasonable most of their selections were. Here are the lists I got:. I answered that we liked to cook and read and watch movies. Was his third question.

KinderCoaster: Labor Day
http://kindercoaster.blogspot.com/2014/11/labor-day.html
Wednesday, November 5, 2014. So I'm talking about October 10.not the first Monday in September. Most people love the September Labor Day because it means they get a nice long weekend. For me it always marks the beginning of going back to work for another year. And as much as I love my job, I hate that day. October Labor Day from now on will be far superior. It marks the day James decided to come meet us. Is today the day? I immediately reached for my phone and started the contraction timer app. I quickly...

Monday, March 31, 2014. Start with a Dot. Have you read this book? I typically read it every year to my kids because I love the message. And I like to pair it with an exploratory art lesson with water color paints. In case you are not familiar, let me give you a little retelling. Vashti is not an artist. At least that's what she thinks. She doesn't believe in herself. So she does. She jabs her paper, leaving a tiny little dot in the center of the page. "There! Vashti is a bit puzzled. I use this book as ...

Friday, April 25, 2014. Choking.all the while resentment rising because he just can't stop laughing and grab me a frickin' trash can to spit in. I was a basket case the rest of the night. So, those were the emotions one might expect with pregnancy, but Monday it got real.as evidenced here. It's just been weird. Weird" is the best way for me to describe the week. Weird because I want/need to grieve but haven't really found the time or space to. Weird because I wanted nothing to do with work. W...So, that'...
