More often than not, it's the little things that keep me going. Here are three things that made me happy within the last two days:
1. The model of the human brain Grace's mom made out of jelly. The children were thrilled to touch the blobby "pink matter." During the craft club, the brain got knocked off a stool and splattered on the carpet. The kids loved to hear me say, "Do you know how hard it is to scrub brain out of a carpet?" Pictures and stories from Bill's fabulous brain lecture will be posted on a future post.
2. Hearing George blurt out, "That was a really sick lift!" when a ballet dancer was hoisted in the air during the dance concert at Earl Haig. Thanks to Ms. Park for making it possible for six classes to go on a field trip and to all of the parents who joined us on the trip. Great to see the arts valued by students, parents, and teachers at Clairlea. Let's keep this dream alive.
3. Having a full house at my first tutoring session after school when most other kids were out playing in the sun. You have to admire such drive.
