Happy Saturday everyone. Yoga was cancelled, while a huge disappointment, allowed me to sleep/lay in bed a little longer this morning and sometimes we just need that.
We also had to cancel a day trip to Minneapolis so Groovy Girl can get her groove back. She slept in and is mostly feeling better. I spent most of the day mourning the loss of the trip but I found positive ways to fill my day. #cleaning #walking

Gordon Korman is one of my favorite elementary chapter books for its celebration of independent and creative thinking-something we need more of across the board. Capricorn Anderson is a young hippie living on a commune with his grandmother Rain. He leads a happy life until Rail falls out of a tree while picking plums. For the first time Capricorn is sent to school while Rain recovers. School is a strange world to comprehend to a peaceful boy.
He takes it all in stride, spends time confused, experiences his first crush but all throughout he stays true to his positive ideals. Cap is a great character created by Korman; perfect for teaching kids empathy for those different than us. We all need that today.
