So stoked with how the exhibition turned out equally stoked to have colleagues as supportive and spaces as beautiful to function within.
Our library is extra beautiful right now with our early childhood’s weaving exhibition. Thank you, @elizabethperry and @Akshaya_Space for your vision and for choosing our space to showcase the amazing work. Interactive and inspirational!

Thanks for the kind words, Mark - they mean a lot. These are really difficult times. Let's find ways to work together to to give each other courage to keep asking and listening, remain inspired, and to find the energy to fight another day.
With everything happening in schools now I feel like it's hard not to simply despair - losing hold of what inspires, fascinates or makes me laugh as a teacher (now coach). Too much of this pandemic/austerity problem-solving has really dampened the old pedagogical project.
Reading the 'Making Oopsies' piece brought that all together for me. @sharrismackay gives a great example of the tangible, joyful beauty of "making something new" with our brains. She doesn't directly talk about self talk but it gave me pause to think about that process.

Remember friends. Teaching kids about giving to homeless orgs & people on the streets during the holidays is also a perfect time to introduce them to the concept that homelessness is not normal & that the housing crisis is manmade.

Dan always makes my day. Thanks for writing this, Dan, and thanks @StreetRoots for publishing such great work.
Street Roots vendor Dan Newth describes how he just moved from homelessness to transitional housing through the Veterans Affairs. This is a first-hand account of the bittersweet challenges that comes with getting off the streets. streetroots.org/news/2021/09…
