"Mum! Go outside!!" My daughter called me lastnight. I was already in my pajamas but I had been hearing about the aurora borealis making a showing so I jumped up and ran out the door. I could hear my granddaughters in the back round saying, "It looks like a rainbow!"
My husband and I quickly threw some jackets on and walked down to the old fort which is right on the ocean. Wow!
I had parent teacher conferences yesterday. I love this first conference of the school year because it gives me a chance to get to know the families in my class. When I know how the families operate and what their hopes and dreams for their little toddlers are it helps me to understand and guide the children. I am 61 years old and the parents I work with are often the same age or even younger than my own daughters. The children I work with are younger than my grandchildren.
I cannot (nor would I) post pictures of my class families here but if I could post a picture of a giant heart I would.
I have been doing quite a bit of cooking the past few weekends. I have plenty of food in the fridge to eat for dinners and lunches without having to cook when I get home. It's been very nice!
In my classroom we have a wall of windows and a glass door that look out onto the back deck and the fields beyond. The campus used to be a tree orchard. At this time of year, when the leaves are changing colours it looks so beautiful. The light in the classroom changes. It becomes all soft and colourful. It's just so pretty.
