This adorable stuffed mouse is a reminder that teaching is always a human endeavor. More than test scores and learning data, we are working with humans who are learning how to navigate this wide wonderful world.

Sometimes, you need an adventurous mouse to help you on your quest.

So very cool! I'll have to show that to the students!

Thanks for the lead! 👍🏻

My next round of classes will now be:

Open doors
Low floors
Incredibly high ceilings
Even wider walls
Places for stories to be told
Places to listen

♥️ as always to Marilyn Hill who taught me to be creative when I was little & to my mom for being my greatest teacher ever.

One person I talked to, as I bragged about my students designs said "The humanity behind the print, that's what this is all about".

How do I let my own humanity show in my prints and in my lessons?

How do I model being who I am to encourage others to do the same?
