Places I have been visiting lately:

School room tour extravaganza from last summer

and more and more from this year.  

Parisienne Farmgirl's new kitchen.  Though I am contrary I guess, because I LOVED the cabinets just as much green.  

Bloesem – I always smile here.  Love their rooms, so very unlike mine – which I also love. : ) 

Revisiting St Cupcake's shop.  Food schmood.  Look at this place.  

Calvert School's new little blog  Cause why you ask?  Cause it's like the tide, every summer this time I feel this inexplicable pull to the Calvert catalog.  Ask those who know me and have tied me to the mast time and again when the sirens call reaches my ears yet again.  Sigh.

Speaking of siren calls – be watching for the  great article by Memoria Press in this issue of Classical Teacher to be posted online.  I think the analogy has implications far beyond those used in the article.  He makes compelling points about laying the foundation academically.  His main pt being that those things that are more important do not (should not) necessarily come first in sequence when teaching.  Contemporary edu-methods often put the horse before the cart and end up toppling the whole thing in the end. 

Ok, off to dinner.  This blog may well be disintegrating into miscellaneous jottings and pretty pictures.  ; )
