"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."
- John McConnell, founder of International Earth Day

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.
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.
Carl Safina, Voyage of the Turtle

Ve's IEP

Ve's IEP meeting was not about any specific learning disabilities, but rather a meeting letting me and all her teachers know just how well she is doing as an ESL student. Actually, her ESL teacher stated that Ve's is doing exceptionally well for a ESL student and her progress is above typical for a English learner. We all did agree that her learning style and processing is "quirky" but her scores in the testing was well above the scores that would place her in the learning disability category. I am a little surprised since she does process new ideas very oddly, yet I am also very delighted that she is doing so very well. The teachers also told me to keep doing what I have been doing to keep her and her sisters up to speed academically. I have attached the reports if any one is interested


The first two show her score within the second grade range in the given categories.



This last one shows her scores and the thick black line is the cut off score for LD. As you can see she is well above it.
