The Professional Development today was affirming and thought provoking at the same time. But the one image I will take away is the video clip of child-adult pairings where the child is copying the adult actions. The clip focuses on negative behaviours and I know that this is so very true in so many ways BUT I also know that the opposite must also be true (even if it doesn't make such a powerful impact). TRY THIS LINK http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=En-cJqmSjFY
I would love to make a video of the reverse scenario. Today we heard a lot about making explicit what we expect in terms of behaviour and the positive version is the image I would like to hold in my heart.

HOME AT LAST: Feet on the Ground
Week 3 and counting!
It is cold as cold and I'm really grateful to Lucy for my Alaskan sweater (a cardigan by any name is warm).
Such long days and longer nights as I try to catch up with everything at work. I don't think I've ever been so tired which may just be a kind of emotional 'jet-lag' - a bit delayed as I try to settle back into some semblance of routine.
I thought I'd do a bit of writing tonight but I'm pretty much asleep on my feet so I'll do the bed thing and have another go at this tomorrow.
oops -Ukelele night tomorrow - wonder if anyone will notice that I haven't been practicing???
