When a Child Is Hurting, Part 2 BE NOT AFRAID - May 16, 2013 It started, I think, within the first week of Amelia returning to our parish school for second grade. It began with notes in her planner saying things like, "not on task today", "can't stay in her seat", "not following directions". On one particular day, the teacher caught me in the parking lot and explained to me that Amelia had lied to her about finishing an assignment. Amelia said she had finished it, but could not produce it for the teacher. After some investigation, ...http://benotafraidnancy.blogspot.com/2013/05/when-child-is-hurting-part-2.html
Honoring Our Eighth Graders - May 16, 2013 This evening, we had Awards Night for our eighth grade class as they prepare for their graduation next week. Sitting there listening to all their many accomplishments, I felt very proud of each and every one of them for what they have done this year as well as throughout the years here.

Sometimes twice a day. Well, OK! Leo is in undies full time but he still doesn't understand that you don't go number 2 in your pants. He demonstrated this lack of understanding at the children's museum yesterday. I amaze myself what I can do with a baby strapped to my back.

More Plan-Pondering for Primary Kids CASTLE IN THE SEA - May 15, 2013 ... a chance to play with these concepts and others. At the end of the answer section for "Your Turn to Play," we've been given four practice problems -- a mix of addition, subtraction, and multiplication -- to work. Yesterday, Crispina didn't know how to multiply something like 52x4, so we worked a couple of those together. Today, she flew through the practice problems, and then began spontaneously multiplying things like 222x2. She went from 111x2 all the way to 444x2 -- when she got to 555, we ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/iUPz/~3/4jpIIWKm-_g/more-plan-pondering-for-primary-kids.html
When a Child Is Hurting, Part 1 BE NOT AFRAID - May 14, 2013 ... 3 kids without a little help from Dan's parents and we were tired (and prideful) of being so needy. Sending them to a public school was just NOT an option for us....thus our decision to homeschool. All three of our kids did well that year. We used a Catholic homeschooling curriculum called Catholic Heritage Curricula. I loved it! Every subject integrated our Catholic faith! Amelia finished her first grade materials easily. The only issue I saw was that she ...http://benotafraidnancy.blogspot.com/2013/05/when-child-is-hurting-part-1.html

But up till that point he was just one of 1.43 million close personal friends of Hillary trying in vain to get her ear ."

So I thought I would share a beautiful poem by David Whyte my dear friend Richard sent to me the other day, when I wrote about the need to accept that the best I could do (on a day I was feeling sick) might not be as much as I would like, but it was all I could do. We all need to remember that it is enough. That we are enough. Enough. These few words are enough. If not these words, this breath.

When I was only 23 years old, I was head of the Primary School at Clifton in Cincinnati and taught the First Grade. We had a theme song for the year for the entire school. It was really three invocations but we sang them, we believed, and it certainly influenced my own spirituality. Here is the song: " Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in Thee; Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I believe in Thy love for me; Most ...http://reflectionsofanrscj.blogspot.com/2013/05/trust-is-gift.html
