I have already gotten reports from some that their June
earrings have arrived...and I haven't had a chance to sit down and write a
blogpost about my inspiration. So sorry!
This month's theme - WONDERFUL SURPRISES.
You know there are junctions in life when you pause, look
back, and are shocked at the changes or growth you didn't notice was happening
all along?? That was me this month when I read my boys' projects or summative
assessments as they finished up fifth and seventh grades.
I read D's letter to his next year's teacher and was just
completely blown away by his skill with a pen (or keyboard). I'm pretty hard to
impress and I was impressed. It began...
"Imagine a student who can find fun and enjoyment
wherever he is. Imagine a student who could learn wherever he is . Whether he
is in a coffee shop, or in an abandoned warehouse. That’s me, I’m a very
curious kid who loves science. Anywhere I go, I find how to learn and I enjoy
it. These are both things that I like, but one of my most liked things are
spices. I try ANY spices I see, then cook with it."
- excerpt from the
letter to his next year's teacher
I proofread R's application to the Broadcom Masters Science
Fair - he was invited after he and his partner took first place in their
division at the county science fair - and marveled at how he crafted his
answers to the questions. So articulate and reflective.
Wonderful surprises all! I am a proud mamma for sure.
In that vein of wonderful surprises, I created this month's
pieces with pearls, for the most part, because I think those are wonderful
surprises in nature...and they start with a grain of sand. Pieces might include
grey pearls, navy blue pearls, and various gems this month.
