Monday Musings

The past weekend was great...Hope you feel the same.

Tons of information below.  I'll be posting some ideas for MWF if you need ideas for thoughtful gifts - i.e., items that don't cost money but do take time.  And since we read Joan Didion's piece in class today, "On Going Home" make sure you have all the discussion points answered and have created a flow chart.

If you were absent, the points were:

• When is the Description mode used?
• How do you write a Description?
• What is the theme of the text?
• Create a flow chart of the experiences that Didion describes.  Have experience A flow to B to C, etc.  
• Do you think parents today can give their children "home"?  What is "home" to you?

MWF Thoughtful Ideas

• handwritten or typed note that compliments your recipient
• a jar of compliments
• an inspirational quote a day with a piece of candy or gum attached
• a handmade hide and seek puzzle that has inspirational words in it
• a single flower
• a homemade treat (check allergies!!)
• a cup of cocoa delivered to them or a cup and a packet to make themselves
• a candy cane with a sweet thought attached
• a lollipop with a good deed you completed in their honor
• a list of really awesome funny videos that you've linked so all they do is click for a laugh
• their initials made from whole crayons that you glue to the paper
• a hand planted succulent in a little container
• a cup of tea

I'll post more as I think of them.  My personal favorite...a compliment a day that ends with a jar full of compliments that they can keep forever and read when they need it.
