What a Wonderful World

I looked around the hallways today to get a feel for what the students are going to "be" with only 11-days left.  I was left with quite a smile as I noticed friends helping each other out, hugs being given, friends holding things for each other, high fives and fist bumps, and smiles for each other.

It made me think of one of my favorite songs, "What a Wonderful World"...

This of course is written by Louis Armstrong:

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you

I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world

And that is what it felt like....A wonderful world.

Kids are in great moods,

They are full of friendship and hope,

They are sharing and caring,

There are connections and relationships...

All I could do is appreciate what our school has fostered as the norm. Our Culture.  A Wonderful World.

Be Mindful.

Peace.
