In the Eye of This Beholder...Yesterday


Beauty was...Issac's smile as he left his backpack at our classroom door
Beauty was...water gushing over moss covered rocks as it fled to the river
Beauty was...Kassidi's smile as she read a story she crafted  about her teacher
Beauty was...the faint yellow full moon diffused by a thin layer of clouds
Beauty was...Sarah's smile when she earned a happy face to describe her day
Beauty was...wind bending a silhouette of trees in the early morning light
Beauty was...Colby's smile as he taught classmates how to power up the ipads
Beauty was...everywhere...yesterday.

  2. Yes, to all of those. I went for a walk yesterday and heard a hawk scaring up supper, and the spring water flowing, and the wind roaring. I heard the children through the blog reading.
    I liked how you alternated the classroom with nature! Yesterday I took some video of the wind and the water that I'd planned on putting up tomorrow. Your Eye of the Beholder writing would go with them perfectly!

  5. You crafted a beautiful interweaving of thoughts. I love how you mold nature and children/the classroom together. Intersting that I had thought of doing something like this, but you did it so much better than my thoughts. I'm going to use you as a mentor text for me. Thanks.:)

    Sounds like the perfect day and one that you viewed with a writer's eye.

  8. What a positive stance - to notice beauty throughout the day. It creates poetry so naturally!
