The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.
~Sydney J. Harris
What if man were required to educate his children without the help of talking animals.
I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework.
~Lily Tomlin as "Edith Ann"
Happy New School Year to all of us in
the school of life!

Wonderful quote for your picture!
ReplyDeleteI like your window Maria, it is very teachery!
ReplyDeleteLove Di ♥
I am a children's book nut--I ordered "I'm In Charge of Celebrations" just last week and received it yesterday. I read it out loud to myself as I had done so many times to my former students.
ReplyDeleteByrd Baylor is the author--an incredible picture book about the desert--
There weren't any talking animals in it but yes, how would we educate without those.
And speaking of Charlotte's Web--there is a gal on line who has a blog entitled "Charlotte's Web Log. I'm finding that not everyone knows that "blog" came from the last four letters of web log. I think that is the cutest name for a blog.
Love your window and I bet your precious students do also. Have a great year.
Love,
D.

ReplyDeleteHave a productive and fun school year, Maria. I do remember that excitement, and now I see it in my Grandchildren's eyes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment and good school year to you.
ReplyDeleteAfter a good and long life as a teacher I enjoy my retirement.
Maria Maria you always make me so happy with your comments on my blog.
ReplyDeleteYes I did that too ! Was a mom at home and enjoyed every minute of it , all of it . My first one was born in 1979 . No computer and no blogging for me in that time.
I enjoyed to see them grow and discouver the world and being individuals , After my son Valentijn there was Anna in 1981 and Elisabeth in 1983 and Thomas in 1987 . I also worked parttime at first when there was a teacher ill . When my husband left me ( unexpected !) and did not pay me and the children a dime ! I went to work full time . Was not easy in the beginning but working at school means same holidays and so on ..... So we managed and they became wonderful persons and I feel very rich and blessed .
I also loved the contact with the other moms ( some of them ! ) and sharing lots and lots of tea talking about LIFE .
Now we can Blog and enjoy new friends . Like you are to me .
Have a peaceful weekend .
A wonderful window and lovely thoughts!
