It is time to go back to work. In the next couple of weeks I will be getting the classroom ready, organizing materials, thinking about all the fun and educational projects I want to create with the children, and most of all setting the energy for another school year. It is always a new year with new energy coming in. The energy I bring into the classroom in the next couple of weeks is like sowing the seedling for the year tree. I love to sing while I work and look for inspirational quotes to frame for the room. Last year I was inspired by this quote:
Love is a choice you make from moment to moment.
by Barbara de Angelis
It is a precious time, thinking of all the little people who will come to the classroom. To make the transition still a little sweeter I began a ritual of making sweetened fruit tea. The children love it too. I drink it with the children, and we have some around for the rest of the day.
I usually use Trader Joe's organic raspberry tea, brew it in a nice big pot, add a helping of honey and it is ready to drink, almost like juice. A little delicious sweetness for your morning.
