The temperature is plummeting, and Young Kindergarten is thinking about the friends who use the bird feeder outside their classroom.
Today, they thought about the houses birds use, and started building a set of four different designs, each aimed at a different set of residents.

Next week, these students will be among the youngest at their family parties.
They’ll sit at the kids’ table, they’ll squirm, wander, and go play in the family room.
But today, they held their own with the grownups
And threw a party any host would be proud of.

Sometimes recycling the gifts of nature looks like smashed pumpkins.
Sometimes it looks like gently choosing delicate leaves, placing them on a banner of silk, covering them with blanket soaked in madder root and wrapping it all up in hopes of making a scarf as a gift for someone you love.

She was 6 years old, escorted by law enforcement through a jeering crowd who wanted to keep the school segregated.
