  It's gonna be May ! End of year events have started, kicked off by an amazing  art show. Thank you Sue for all you do for our students and also for our community as a school. There was laughter, conversation, and amazement at the talent of all of our students. My favorite part of spring is not just the big events, but also the little moments; for those of you who know these two first graders, this moment of cooperation is a huge achievement!

  Pasqueflowers, or pulsatilla patens , is one of my favorite signs of spring. There are a couple of spots where I look every year for this whiteish purple flower, but last night I came around a corner up at Sutey Ranch and was surprised by this little patch. Savor the known traditions of this time of year-- art show, field trips, overnights, even CMAS-- and make space for the surprises!

  A week that started with wonder and awe. While we may not have a solar eclipse every day, we can find moments of awe for ourselves and our students. This article from Greater Good talks about all of the benefits of awe. While many of us find that outside in our mountains and rivers, I challenge you to find some moments of awe in your classrooms. It's one of the best parts of working with small humans-- they are almost constantly in awe! Also, check out how third grade is helping their students self reflect on their engagement.  Finally, Emma made her own behavior chart-- "try not to be mean, be good, and love each other". What more do you need to learn in kindergarten?
