More Love That School . . .

So much depends

upon

eager students

reading

and asking

questions

with such

energy

and enthusiasm

and good cheer .  . . 

Thank you, 

Camden schools

for the 

warm

welcome.

Love Those Schools, cont. . . .

One of the bonuses

of living in Maine

and visiting schools in Maine

is that the scenery

is always

magnificent

and the people

are ultra-friendly.

Lured by Island Readers & Writers

recently I visited schools 

in Jonesport and Beals Island.

They've been studying The Wanderer

and have developed so many wonderful projects 

based on their year-long theme:

Navigating the Storm.

Science, health, literature, art, math, music

incorporating all disciplines:

Wow!

Below are some of the art projects.

I wish I could have included photos

of all the other projects

but at some point

I put away my camera

and merely drooled.

(More photos at above link to Island Readers and Writers)

Tied into the above weaving

are individual scrolls

on which students had written

private messages about their own storms.

Above: flag and radio code

Principal Dr. Debra Lay (Jonesport), and Jan Coates.*

Thank you all, for an inspiring visit!

Love That School

Sometimes

I visit 

amazing schools

where the enthusiasm

and energy

and good will

is so high

that 

I 

swoon.

Bright and cheery welcome

students independently engaged

playing with words

celebrating books

and people

and

their

stories.

Thank you

Fay School

for a beauteous

and delicious

visit.

You're all

amazing.
