since i have no life..

..i'll talk about work! wahoo! i can't put my kids' faces online but i think i can put up their work. as an introduction to teaching about the Columbia River Gorge's natural resources, this week we "went to another planet" that was barren and planted things we could think of to sustain life. This group had a wheat field, rivers, an apple tree and a garden full of blueberries. I love primary school.

Then we wrote about a hope we had for our world. Answers ranged from world peace to finding my cat.

"One hope Lucy has is a loving family for everyone"

"One hope Harrison has is the war in Iraq ends and we win"

"One hope Kiera has is that all the people that have back problems feel better soon"

"One hope Rowan has is there's a lot of health and good dreams"

My favorite self-portrait. Ever!

Aren't they cute?? I'm so thankful...
