Faithful video posts... Writing everyday is tough!

All of my sixth graders have committed to a 100 day challenge of their making. The ideas range from stressing less to telling jokes to reading to ring nicer. Have I mentioned how much I love my sixth graders? Their ideas reflect their inner goodness and conscience. Good kids. The seventh and eighth graders made a year goal. We are thinking long-term and focusing on some future goals.

   On other fronts, life has been busy. Our family still cannot seem to shake this evil virus. We spent a little time in the Emergency Room. Phoebe, our youngest is pretty sick. She has bronchiolitis and restrictive airways. I am glad they let us go home. 

   Life is never dull! There are so many things happening around us all the time. It will always be like that. The point is- you keep going and you never let yourself be defeated. An old proverb says- "fall down seven times, stand up eight". 

   That is my advice to my students. Just keep standing up!
