"All that we are is story.
From the moment we are born to the time we continue on our spirit journey,
we are involved in the creation of the story of our time here.
It is what we arrive with.
It is all that we leave behind.
We are not the things we accumulate.
We are not the things we deem important.
We are story.
All of us.
What comes to matter then is the creation of the best possible story we can create while we're here.
You, me, us - - together.
When we can do that and we can take the time to share these stories with each other,
we get bigger inside.
We see each other.
We recognize our kinship.
We change the world, one story at a time."
- Richard Wagamese
Together we read What to do with an idea?The author Kobi Yamada taught us "Always remember, a single idea can change everything."
We have been counting the days we are at school & documenting it in our math books - it's the number of the day. We decide if the number is odd or even, how to write it in words, show it in tally marks and add or subtract 10. As a challenge we try to unscramble familiar words. It is a warm up activity to start our day.
