// The Tuesday Six, Plus...

The funny notes we find while doing more late spring cleaning aka desk drawer purging. Sheets and sheets of loose paper with loved pencil-scribbled quotes I've saved for years in a special middle drawer of little treasures. This one made me laugh so I chose it for today's post. And our eGreeting and eGiftcard for Mother's Day went so well last month (I even received pictures of purchases:)), we are following similar suit for our Father's Day this Sunday! A few ideas have been included at left and in this month's current below. Recent reads, finds, and loved links from around the web...

 

...  The sound of colleagues. :)

...  In praise of internal motivation. "It improves our overall wellbeing".

...  Get ready for seconds with this blueberry pie memory match.

// Classroom Connections: Thinking in Colour

Two things the everyday classroom teacher would want to have in unlimited supply are paper and pencils, and make that coloured pencils for greater engagement. While we continue to shelter at home with heading into our homestretch for the 2019 - 2020 school year, here are some thinking-in-colour fun finds from around the web for little transitions throughout the school-at-home day...

// The Serene Beauty of Dance

Unwinding on the daily... It's a necessary, and deserves our full attention. One of the most relaxing parts of the day revolves around the world of Ballet in some shape or form: from watching a short rehearsal, "softer landings" :), to losing myself in the beautiful musical engagement of its aesthetic grace, quiet discipline, and fluid delivery. Ballet breathes through literally everything we do and even attempt to do with its own structural rhythm, poise, and purpose. A moment or time out with refined movement creates its own joyful and timeless experience. It's been such a restorative balance during these last three months. Hello Tuesday...

 

...  Nothing says classical ballet more than a tutu. Indeed.

...  Many can relate; now coined, the #VictoriaBeckhamLegPose.

...  Enjoy some at-home Ballet fun for kids this very week.

...  A lovely go-to morning class for everyone.

...  The gift that truly keeps on giving.

...  And, not much changes with what ballet dancers actually eat, after stage life.

How are you all holding up? We are constantly doing our part and best on this end, staying in, only out for groceries (and even that feels scary), staying in touch from indoors with our phones and online, trying new things (recipes included, of course), funny games, resting, and answering playful colour-coded questions out of a fish bowl, after dark. Variety continues to be the spice of life and balances our days. Have a safe and relaxing Passover and Easter. A few recent reads, finds, and loves from around our web...
