bummin-around DAYBOOK

Outside My Window

Finally out of the dreary, gray, humid fog that blankets this city in February/March...  while cozy at first, that period of living inside of the clouds is so unsettling.

Mom & Dad saw a show, kids and Nimfa went to a cool playroom at The Parisian Hotel

I'm Thinking About

Summer. Just around the corner!

I Don't Want To Forget 
These views. We won't have them next year when we move into the new faculty housing in Repulse Bay - and I won't have them from my classroom windows anymore either.

I'm Learning

about making learning VISIBLE in the classroom - thank you Reggio & Ron Ritchart. It's not until you start messing around with ideas in the classroom that some of these ideas go deeper in understanding.

I'm Hearing

Lorde, Perry, Adele.... Let me tell you - since (stupidly) ditching all our CD's when we moved to Hong Kong, I have really struggled. I just haven't made the switch to digital music very well. I think part of that is because forming new habits is HARD... but also - I don't know the names of what I like! I think I used to grab the CD off the shelf by the cover. I guess I'm visual. And I used to blast the radio in the car. No car! We are (finally) starting to get on board with Amazon Prime music. Happy ears!

I'm Reading

Being Mortal - by Atul Gawande

I AM FOREVER CHANGED.  -- I recommend you get a copy immediately.

Around The House

Messes abound. Music plays. Windows are open catching the breeze. 

 

At Work

Spring Break soon.. then: swimming instead of PE, global-arts-week, read-a-thon, field trips

8.5 weeks left. But who's counting? ;)

school field day

Eating Out (confession - I'm never in the kitchen anymore)

gelato (shaped like roses) with my girls!
After a spicy delish Szechuan dinner. (-watch out for the peppercorns-)

So Very Hong Kong

The restaurant running out of rotisserie on helper-days-off (like today: tomb sweeping day)
(Looks like I'm not the only one not cooking anymore.)

One Of My Favorite Things

the birdsong in Hong Kong

A Less-Than Favorite Thing
mildew and mold - which there is aplenty in honkers

I'm Thankful

for sun

She's thankful for ice rinks & friends!

Besties!

I'm Planning

a presentation about our trip to Reggio - feels good to consolidate ideas in order to share them... makes you organize them in your brain.
