I will stay married to my husband for as long as we both shall live. Yes, we made altar-born promises, but what gives us the stamina is really this:  no one is as interesting or as insightful as I find him to be. He is inquisitive, and questions/seeks answers.

After we’ve exhausted the possibilities in my classroom library, and in the school’s library, you may want to check out these blogs. In reality, you should be checking them out anyway to keep up with new titles, authors you love, new authors, new [...]http://teacherlingo.com/blogs/mrs_loves_blog-0-rama1/archive/2009/12/24/charting-your-journey.aspxThu, 24 Dec 2009 15:53:57 GMT2d57f927-24f1-4f58-a78a-cbbebe5f5d42:325442AnonymousThis article link content is NOT about your personal  beliefs, or mine. It is about what we talked about (briefly) the other day — in addition to books, poetry and songs can also help us find answers to our questions–they speak to us. Another path is reading what other great thinkers/philosphers reflect upon, and consider.

When I was on the playground, one cold, crisp Texan school yard afternoon, the bell rang, and we went to line up. One of my classmates, a sweet, shy boy, while running to line up, [...]http://teacherlingo.com/blogs/mrs_loves_blog-0-rama1/archive/2009/12/03/monster-spray.aspxThu, 03 Dec 2009 18:46:53 GMT2d57f927-24f1-4f58-a78a-cbbebe5f5d42:321982Anonymous“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear – not absence of fear”–Mark Twain On Wednesday, while we were reviewing the final Journey of the Hero project, I shared a personal story with some of you about when I was a little girl.
