Top Five Things on my Mind since returning from the Break
- SPRING happened while I was away- garlic is shooting up taller; the call of the chickadees is more prominent; the willow tree is revealing her sweet buds; the soil is warmer; the kale is revitalizing itself.
- JOY– the joy of watching worms wriggle onto the hands of our excited children; the joy of listening to a child excited about bandaids on her knees; the joy of a warm breeze along the water as the Eagles soar above our heads whilst big sticks are tossed into the water by my small group.
- WORK– the amount of work to be done; in the garden, in the Cottage, in the office, in curriculum development, as a team day to day, as a team for a team project for an upcoming presentation.
- DEEPENING– how to go deeper into our values and teaching practice.
- CONNECTIONS– laughing together each day; listening to stories told by our children, land and animals; sharing ideas and stories with our families; learning from our Elders.
In gratitude,
Emily
