1. I've been cooking on the weekend when my kids visit.
    We grilled yesterday but no one ate the grilled salmon.
    Today I made a salmon salad that turned out really good so I want to share the recipe.
    I used what I had.

    Sarah's Salmon Salad

    I had about a pound of grilled salmon which I took the skin off
    2 to 3 tsp mayo
    two stalks celery chopped
    four or five green onions chopped
    about three tsp. Strawberry Ken's vinagrette
    fresh mint chopped (2 tsp)
    fresh parsley wide leaf chopped (4 tsp.)
    a tiny bit of herbs de provence
    little bit of ground black pepper
    I used a tiny bit of dill seed as my dill isn't growing and I was out of dill weed
    1/4 tsp salt
    couple squeezes of lemon juice
    (I didn't have it but some chopped dried strawberries or golden raisins would be good, or dried cherries or dried cranberries)

    Mix in any order I chunked the salmon.
    Serve on crackers, rolls or plain, maybe on bread.

    Enjoy.

  2. This day, Earth Day, has been a part of my teaching all my career and I try for "an event."
    It certainly was one today in Transitional kindergarten. 
    We had cupcakes I made last night for one thing:

    I hope they look like our planet. Well a little bit.
    I found shirts for a dollar yesterday at the Dollar Tree. Since they were the perfect color and pretty close to the perfect size some of our happening today was printing and making shirts. I wish I had pictures while making but it was a bit tricky to manage it. 

    Here's a table shot. 

    They've got the whole world in their hands. I'm afraid my generation was too greedy and therefore places in the hands of our children global warming, pollution, resources shrinking, species being ruined, the whitening of the barrier reef and so much more. While those in the 60s sang This Pretty Planet, I'm sad that it was hyperbole for us. 
    I'm a bit down. 

    I don't yet see the rainbow in any of this despite the fact the current mantras are that "everything happens for a reason"" and "you can think anything the way you want"....
    I'm grumpy Gus. 

    I'm teaching hard this year knowing these kids will have to face and solve very serious global issues. Our earth will depend on them. 

    The kids made Earth and planets in a song a long with my husband. I didn't film it because I was busy printing shirts. 
    They loved it though. 

    And we watched some exciting video of this lovely planet we call home. Fun day.

About Me
About Me
My Photo
I'm a public school elementary teacher from W.V. beginning my career in poverty schools in the 1980's. (I have GIST cancer-small intestinal and syringomyelia which isn't what I want to define me but does help define how I view the meaning of my life.) I am a mom of 3 great children-now grown. I teach 3rd grade in an Underperforming school, teaching mostly immigrant 2nd Lang. children. I majored in art, as well as teaching. Art informs all I do. Teaching is a driving part of my life energy. But I am turning to art soon. I'm married to an artist I coaxed into teaching- now a Superintendent of one of the bigger Districts in the area. Similar population. We both have dedicated inordinate amounts of our life to the field of teaching in areas of poverty hoping to give students opportunities to make better lives. I'm trying to write as I can to the issues of PUBLIC education , trying to gain the sophistication to address the issues in written forms so they can be understood from my teaching contexts.I like to blog from daily experiences. My work is my own, not reflective of any school district.
