It's All About Learning

Monday, 26 September 2005

Had a really good workshop with Diana Day, a national trainer from the Midwest/South who has been teching classroom management skills to teachers over the years, and is contracted by the district here. It's always good to learn new things and refresh old strategies. Plus we had a free lunch provided by the hotel where the workshop was held.

Thai class was very good tonight as well. We are learning tenses. It is fun to reminisce about places in Thailand as we all talk about our travels.

Caught up with email from friends in Seattle. My Uncle Mike, Aunty Jolene's brother-in-law, in Kent suddenly passed away from heart failure while watching the Seattle Seahawks play this weekend. At least he was with family and doing what he loves, rooting for Seattle sports' teams. Just goes to show how life is so fragile. Makes me grateful for the time I am spending with my dad. As tragedies such as Hurricane Katrina and Rita occur, as well as the loss of family members along the way, may we all learn to live life a little better, a little stronger, and with a lot of love. My heart goes out to the family in Seattle.
