The seeds have been planted


My second post, and the year hasn't even begun!  Our language arts team met today, and we began to get the ball rolling on what our first week and unit will look like.  The book we're working with is inspiring in more ways than one--it made me want to make a new friend and plant a garden.

I'm reading:

A community made up of people from all over the world and different walks of life, Seedfolks highlights how tensions develop and suspicion breeds when people cease talking to each other.   One small member of this community begins a garden on an abandoned lot, and before long, neighbors who had never even said hello before are giving each other advice on how to water their Swiss chard.  What was once a unofficial dumping ground becomes a beautiful medley of flowers, vegetables and lots and lots of lettuce.

I'm working on:

1,001 creative ideas of how to save money on school supplies.  Ideas?
