On This Day In History
1925: Dick Van Dyke is born

Quote Of The Day
"Just knowing you don't have the answers is a recipe for humility, openness, acceptance, forgiveness, and an eagerness to learn - and these are all good things."
(Dick Van Dyke)

Another fun day at school, particularly teaching about Leonardo Da Vinci by looking at the letter he wrote to Ludovico Sforza, followed by a brainstorming session for questions that Sforza might ask Da Vinci at an interview and then a hot-seating activity with one child in the role of Leonardo Da Vinci answering those questions. Later in the day we watched this interesting video of some of Da Vinci's greatest inventions which have recently been constructed and mostly found to work.

This evening, we had our staff Christmas party. That was a lot of fun, especially the Secret Santa. My gift is today's photo. I love it. It's so me. I will wear it to school on Monday.
