Springtime's Coming....

What a beautiful, amazing couple of days it has been in our school-spring is peeking around the corner, and we are grateful for such a warm, sunny week.   From “cave painting” in art with Mr. Boone……

…….to the Egypt Party celebrating all that we have learned about Egyptian history this year with Miss Carly…….

.......to the fantastic field trip we took to see"The Six Seasons" and to play in Butler Park, tumbling down the grassy hill.......

plus some generous sunshine and lots of love and respect, this week's magic mixed together a delicious, uplifting elixir for us all. 

Thank you so much to the parents who helped out and for your incredible support with making everything happen.  It is such a gift to have so many hands and hearts ready and willing to contribute to our magnificent melting pot! 

The Habit of Success

This week as the three day WLLC program resumes following the monsoon, many grateful smiles are emerging along with the gorgeous sunshine.  These wonderful children ooze joyful energy and spread love everywhere they turn.

Our quote of the week:

"I never could have done what I have done without the habits of punctuality, order and diligence without the determination to concentrate myself on one subject at a time."

-Charles Dickens

We had some good discussion surrounding our habits at our morning circle-both ones that are healthy that we enjoy and those that we would like to change.  We are all growing in awareness of how we can be more, grow more and do more by consciously creating positive patterns of behavior.

What habits do you have that you enjoy or would like to change?

This Little Light of Mine

Days like today-soaking wet, cold, and dreary-leave my heart grateful for the sunshine and the dry.  

Days like today are wonderful lessons in flexibility for us, mentors and learners alike.

Days like today, we bump into each other a bit more than others.

Days like today we picked each other up more, and often picked ourselves-and many wet towels-up off of the puddled-up floor.

Days like today we rely on the warmth from our inner fires and memories of sunshine-filled days to thaw from the chill.

Days like today teach us so much more than we could ever hope to learn from a textbook.

Days like today teach us to be, to love, to know and to grow one another, and to see behind each others' frustration and cabin fever to the light we all carry within.

This little light of mine, my oh my am I going to let it shine!

Inch by Inch....

 Inch by inch....

Row by Row....

Gonna make these learners grow!

Every day at the WLLC is such a precious gift and a blessing.  Mentors learn and grow from the learners just as much as they learn and grow from us.

A beautiful dance is underway-a give and take.  Your lead, now mine.  1, 2, 3, 4.... Learn some, teach some, learn some teach some....

Inch by inch, and row by row, what a joy it is to help each other grow!
