You made quite an impression on him when he was your student, I'm sure! I also enjoyed your picture of the sunset. We have had some amazing sunrises and sunsets here in Wisconsin lately. Now if it would just stay longer for its visit. :) Have a great week!<br /><br />JenniferJennifer Laffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00409566035103972341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-68704725346047808282015-01-18T09:40:45.063-07:002015-01-18T09:40:45.063-07:00Thanks Carrie, it was a good week, though so, so b...Thanks Carrie, it was a good week, though so, so busy.

Reflection is key to happiness, or one of them. Your school continues to fascinate me. Have you encouraged the former student to blog?

With 2 players to shuttle, that has thrown a kink in my Celebrate time. (But has also given me much to truly celebrate) :) I must rethink this during the upcoming week.

There should be great reflections coming out of that field trip. We learned at our curriculum institute that there is power in fieldwork ( a new term for field trips ) - meaning that students take on the role of researchers as they visit exhibits and take notes that will later impact their learning. The topic of the power in art should ignite sparks in their minds. I am glad that you had a great week. BTW: I enjoy making soup so yours looks like a yummy vegetable soup.
