Day 53/ Day 16


Today, I thought I would blog at a different time....in a different place. I am sitting in the hallway at one of the sites. I am feeling a little guilty....I am sitting...I should be up and helping in some way.....but the classrooms are set.....I want to go in and walk around the rooms but the students become easily distracted.



.........the children are engaged in learning.......in just 20 minutes....one class is listening to a story...one class is journaling....one class is heading to JumpBunch......one class is just finishing their Afternoon Message and preparing for snack......


I can't see too much....but I can hear.....



.......I hear students laughing

.......I hear students singing

.......I hear students answering questions

.......I hear students responding with please and thank you



I feel a sense of calmness....one that was difficult to find, today......I just saw a sense of calmness....I saw 14 students tiptoeing down the hallway.....such a big change from day 1....


Back to the sense of calmness....calmness was difficult to find, today......perhaps it had something to do with a quiz that I had to take.....I read the powerpoint....I listened to the powerpoint....I took notes....I studied.....but the outcome wasn't as I had planned....guess I need to study a little harder.....


Study harder means different things to different people.....take more notes....read more....listen better....work harder......


Work harder means different things to different people, as well.....but I truly believe that no matter how people define "working hard" we will all come together, work hard, and change the world!


Carpe Diem!
