Lesson Plan Tuesday, 03/17/2015

Mornin' Mr. Butterfly,
You did a good job practicing your Butterfly yesterday.  The new coach doesn't know everyone yet and must feel kind of nervous as she learns all of you and "gets tough" to encourage all of you to do your best.  Why not help her by doing what she asks so other members on the team will too?  Doing your best means you may win the championship again this year; but doing less than that may mean that some other team wins--doing less than your best hurts the whole team, including the new coach.
I love you a buncha bunches.
Gramma xoxo

Spirituality:  Two Indian prayers for you:
A Cherokee prayer blessing:
"May the warm winds of heaven blow softly upon your house,
May the Great Spirit bless all who enter there,
May your moccasins make happy tracks in many snows,
And may the rainbow always touch your shoulder."
An Apache prayer blessing:
May the sun bring you new energy by day,
May the moon softly restore you by night,
May the rain wash away your worries,
May the breeze blow new strength into your being,
May you walk gently through the world and know its beauty all the days of your life."
 
Language Arts:
Write a poem about the heart.
 
You will be doing a paper on David Chang next week.  Look back through the names of the episodes in The Mind of a Chef and what their descriptions are, and start an outline in preparation for writing it next week.
