A short post today:
I felt a need to post something inspirational today, after the week of events that the US and the world has witnessed and experienced.
The post below comes from an actual experience of my friend Lisa, who is an elementary school art teacher in Camden NJ.
I could not have relayed this message any better: sometimes a simple activity can have a huge impact & speak volumes to a much bigger lesson.
Hoping everyone has a peaceful weekend.
"Today we used gold and silver scratchboards for a 4th grade art project. This was what happened when a new student used his tool and saw the gold for the first time:
"Oh my god, this is beautiful"...
scratched a little more...
"This is amazing. SO beautiful"...
a little more scratching...
"This is SOO beautiful, I could cry". ..
He had me smiling at his amazement and enthusiasm, for this little black ink covered board. He made my day with his joy over this project.
In a world that seems insane, crazy and falling apart, have faith that there are still children who are inspired and encouraged by the simple things.
Help your children uncover the "gold" under the "ink" of life."
