t.h.i.n.k.

So I made this thing.  Help yourself if you are so inclined!

Boy howdy, my gals sure bicker more now that they spend about 4 or 5 hours in the same room together as they get grouchy multiplying fractions.  I wanted to add some classroom art to our wall  to make it feel a little bit more like a classroom.  My theory is that if it feels more like a classroom, they are more apt to behave like they would have in a public class room with a teacher.  I have no evidence to support this theory, but it comforts me all the same.

I like this saying - although I feel compelled to tell  you that I don't make it a requirement for ALL the things on the list to be checked off.  I don't think something said has to be necessary if it is kind (I mean - is it really necessary to compliment another person?  It's not, but it's lovely all the same).  I don't think something necessarily has to be inspiring, as long as it is helpful, etc.  I think if we all truly had to mark off these requirements before we spoke - much of worth would not be said.  So that's the way I try to apply it to our daily lives.

There was no printable that I found to be soothing on the eyes, so I pulled this one together.  Hope you like it.  Hope you use it.  Hope your kids use it.

Catch ya on the flip side.
