Leap Day

I'm kind of failing at this blogging thing.  I want my posts to be regular, insightful, witty, and cohesive.   Instead you get the random ramblings of a college girl who just wants to find time in her day to cook a real meal and sleep for 8 hours.   My life is school and work with a dash of God time.  It seems like ages ago when I could tie work, and God time into the same package.  Don't get me wrong.  God is with me all the time and I'm doing the work that he has set out for me at this time.  It's just different.  Two years ago, the majority of my time was centered around church.  Now, the majority of my time is centered around school and work.  It's just a different perspective.  

My perspective on everything seems to be stretching and growing.  My mind spins with ideas on the best practices for classrooms.  What if I had a classroom with no desks so the kids were moving all the time?  Open classrooms, flipped classrooms, Montessori, Waldorf?   Teaching as social justice?   Experiential learning?  Literacy as a social justice issue?  Music, movement, rhythm, beat... Hope, roses, and concrete.

I type.
I write.
I think.

Wash, rinse, and repeat.
