Voices

Goosebumps.  I have them because of this speech.  Please read it, you will be inspired.  I agree with Diane Ravitch, where is the media attention for this superintendent, when people like Michelle Rhee get tons of air time?   We need more people like John Kuhn advocating for educators and kids.  His voice represents what so many of us believe and don't have the courage or the eloquence to say.  Thank you, Superintendent John Kuhn!

The Imagination Tree

Oh my goodness, I'm in love with this blog: The Imagination Tree  If you are looking for ways to invite your children to discover and play in oh-so-many ways, this woman (her name is Anna, ironic, huh?) has a knack for putting together the most incredible play settings.  My favorite idea (so far!) is her "Small World Play Scenes."  Check out this pirate scene!   Or another one of my favorites, the Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory Play Dough.  Are you kidding me?  I'm giddy right now!  Let the play dough making begin!  One is NEVER too old for play dough. :)
