There's always so much to read and learn and sometimes I can just hyperventilate sitting at my computer. So... that's why I also cook, drink wine, garden and knit. This is another one of those great resources that captures many greats. It is often too overwhelming when you get the mentality that you want to get "ALL" of something. Or find "ALL" of the great resources. Infinity is a very hard concept... whether we are talking resources, books, things to learn, friends to find, etc. This is one of the reasons I have this blog. So I can talk to myself about these concepts... capture things in one place and try to live a balanced life as well. I remind myself of my 3 words for 2010: REFLECT, APPRECIATE, BALANCE now...Back to knitting.

the Fun Theory or thefuntheory
So what behaviors can we change or affect with a little fun? As I read Debbie Miller's books, Reading with Meaning and Reading with Intention... tell me that she and her students are not having fun! Fun can be so easy to do in the classrooms with children. Kids seek out fun! Adults also seek out fun. Why do we sometimes make the classrooms the last place to have some fun... it should be the first. Afterall, learning is fun and that is the message we want our kids to live life knowing. (More later...)
