Summer Song

Wanderer moon
smiling a
faintly ironical smile
at this
brilliant, dew-moistened
summer morning,–
a detached
sleepily indifferent
smile, a
wanderer’s smile,–
if I should
buy a shirt
your color and
put on a necktie
sky-blue
where would they carry me?

God Is Faithful

The rainbow is a promise.

1 Corinthians 1:9

King James Version (KJV)

⁹God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

^{The Message Bible I Corinthians 1:7 through 9}
^7-9Just think—you don’t need a thing, you’ve got it all! All God’s gifts are right in front of you as you wait expectantly for our Master Jesus to arrive on the scene for the Finale. And not only that, but God himself is right alongside to keep you steady and on track until things are all wrapped up by Jesus. God, who got you started in this spiritual adventure, shares with us the life of his Son and our Master Jesus. He will never give up on you. Never forget that.

This is the entire First Epistle of St.Paul to the Corinthians, read by Alexander Scourby. 'God is faithful' is one of the main themes.

Tis the Season: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

"Ichabod pursued by the Headless Horseman,"
by F. O. C. Darley, 1849.

Although I appreciate Johnny Depp, 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' is a genuine comedy. Ichabod Crane is one of literature's great comedic characters, and Washington Irving deserves a lot of credit; this is still a very funny story even after almost 200 years.

The Headless Horseman Pursuing Ichabod Crane (1858) by John Qui

Here's the background of the story:

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Sleepy_Hollow

I have been delighted to use EdCon's 'Bringing the Classics To Life' (http://www.edconpublishing.com/) for several years with classes that were not reading at Grade 7 level; lots of RTI and Study Skills Classes have thoroughly enjoyed the simplified versions of great stories, including Washington Irving's 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.' I'm extremely picky about my classic lit, but EdCon is absolutely superior in keeping the essence of the story for burgeoning readers. I've never had a class of kids who did not truly enjoy the stories presented in the 'Bringing the Classics to Life' format., and that's over about 15 years. The following cartoon version also brings lots of engagement, even at the high school level.

Just about all Americans are familiar with Disney's version of 'The Legend of Sleeping Hollow' (1949.) This is my personal favorite because it is narrated by Bing Crosby, with incidental music. Every year we younguns would watch it on Wonderful World of Disney, and be pretty scared.

First Ever 'Parent Trigger' School Succeeded! Desert Trails To Go Charter

New chance for Mojave Desert families.

I did my practice teaching way back in the '90s in this district, and this could be an excellent move for family and administrators toward academic achievement. Wish you the very best, Desert Trails families!

Lead in to the article from Huffington Post.
'A small group of parents in Adelanto, Calif., became the first in the nation Thursday to choose a charter operator to take over their neighborhood school through the controversial "parent trigger" law.
On a 50 to 3 vote, parents who voted chose LaVerne Elementary Preparatory Academy as the charter operator to take over the embattled Desert Trails Elementary School, which has been at the center of a bitter battle for the past nine months.'

Why Learning Should Be Messy

http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/2012/10/why-learning-should-be-messy/

The following is an excerpt of One Size Does Not Fit All: A Student’s Assessment of School, by 17-year-old Nikhil Goyle, a senior at Syosset High School in Woodbury, New York.

' Can creativity be taught? Absolutely. The real question is: “How do we teach it?” In school, instead of crossing subjects and classes, we teach them in a very rigid manner. Very rarely do you witness math and science teachers or English and history teachers collaborating with each other. Sticking in your silo, shell, and expertise is comfortable. Well, it’s time to crack that shell. It’s time to abolish silos and subjects.'

Yes, Nikhil, you're right.

Here is some fun, messy projects. Just to prove a point.
