It is the end of 2nd quarter/1st semester and I received Ve's report card today.
The main teacher had this to say about her:
"Ve is a delightful kindergartner who appears happy at school and making friends. She is making very nice progress adjusting to school, routine, and language."
She is also doing well in Art, great with jump roping in gym, in fact her gym teacher stated that she exceeds the typical kindergartner in gym class with the jump roping, but unfortunately she also is not willing to participate unless heavily encouraged in other activities. She needs to work on this, of course...
Her music teacher stated that Ve resists doing anything in her class. In the beginning she would roll around on the ground or run around when asked to be involved. (I will insert here, that Ve also use to do that to me at home at first. But I let her know that the rolling around on the ground was not allowed, and she responded accordingly.) Her music teacher also stated that this week Ve did listen well and had stopped all the avoidance behavior, so there is progress after only 4 weeks in school.
"Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure."

RIGHT NOW, and then again tomorrow and then again the next day and on it goes day after day,

1/2 OF THE WORLD lives on LESS THAN 2 DOLLARS each day.
Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Do all you can and don't worry about the odds against you. Wield the miracle of life's energy, never worrying whether we fail, concerned only that whether we fail or succeed we do so with all our might. That's all we need to know to feel certain that all our force of diligent effort is worth our while on Earth.
