Self Talk Art: 54 Things Wrong with Gwendolyn Rogers
Positive self talk art inspired by 54 Things Wrong with Gwendolyn Rogers.

Storytelling Part 4: Becoming a Storyteller

Informal PJ Day…We needed it!
I blinked and the term was almost done. I feel like I am behind on everything and bone weary. So are my kids…I bet you are as well. So today, my class paused curriculum and focussed on joy, as well as the Core Competencies. We had a PJ Day and you might need one as well. We are all so tired and this year is so hard, I hope this post inspired you to find some joy-even for just a day.
