I’m putting this first. Without a fight for a Bill of Rights, we may end up not being able to do what we did these last few weeks. Add your two cents. Add your thoughts. Add your questions. It will be revised into something wonderful for the world. It’s a gift of love and freedom for your children and grandchildren.

I am amazed. This amazing poem visualized with sounds would never have happened without play and exploration -- taking time to just be and do. This is so special, I hope you find a way to share it with new mothers. Love it And Thanks for finding a way so I could see it.

How creative is this? Why did we not all immediately think of this? When I was little [a long time ago], we had a kaleidoscope lamp; the bottom, when turned on would spin light and the cut out in front of it would form shadows on the wall. I’m sure we broke it using it so much. This reminded me of that, and my candles in tin cans with holes. Terry, what’s that art called?
A great reflection on making lighted notebooks--it’s the conversation that may be most important. Check out her reflection questions.

Thank you #clmooc #f5f and then some. A great week. The #f5f's are really my reflections. I thank everyone for sharing and creating so much, often connected and collaborating. Whatever is asked, you focus and get r done! You are all amazing, lurkers, droppers-in, commenters, and activists! Thanks to facilitators for all you do to make this happen. Next week I will be with family, so I want to thank everyone now for the marvelous time I've had learning with you and connecting with you! I'll drop in as I can, but I am looking forward to 10 grandkids arriving! [maybe my circuits will arrive in the mail by then -- what fun we'll have].
