Teaching ten year olds is something everyone should experience!
Everyday is a new day.
Everyday is a new challenge.
Everyday...
No matter how tough it might be....
They make you smile.
For example...
A neighboring teacher, who has my kids from last year, was
impressed with the kid who came up and asked if he could meditate during indoor recess (too
cold for outdoor).
He plopped right down, hands in
Jnana Mudra position and started in with "Ommmmmm".
After a while, he glanced up and said...
"I've been having problems with my aura lately."
Wow.
Here's to you and your auras...
Hope you are not having trouble with them today!
Oh, I love it! This is exactly the sort of thing that keeps me going back into that classroom!

Out from the mouths of Babes! So cute and funny! Did any of the other kids notice or question what he was doing? Maybe he is a member of a Yoga group.
Glad you are back on! Hope to hear from you again soon! I hope you are having many good AURAS today! XOX, Mom
