Basically, you haven’t wanted to be here. We’ve been sick, and it hasn’t been pretty.

I haven’t forgotten our In November project, but we haven’t been able to get it finished. Fear not! It will get shared shortly, along with suggestions for Thanksgiving books, a discussion about teaching American Indian issues respectfully, and a few fun fall nature projects.

Today is Veterans’ Day in the U.S., and we will be making Christmas cards for soldiers. If this is something you’d like to do with your family/students, read more here: http://www.redcross.org/support/get-involved/holiday-mail-for-heroes.

If you’re conflicted about this sort of activity, and the meaning of this day in general, the best article I’ve read about it can be found in Just Moms: Conveying Justice in an Unjust World. (<– affiliate link)

Happy Monday!
