Dear all of us,
Are you a preschool teacher or parent? One of the best things that you can do for your kids is to teach them about artists, all kinds of artists.
Painters, musicians, photographers and so on. Even the youngest child can learn something about artists.
Look at this great lesson about Jackson Pollack.

Violence doesn't solve anything, it's not just Ferguson.
Dear all of us,
When did it become acceptable to commit violent acts? When did it become acceptable to threaten children? I truly do not understand what is going on in our country.
Watch this video. This is a school board discussing the fact that there are 20 kids with food allergies in the school. One school board members jokes that the children should be shot. The rest of the members laugh. In what capacity is this ok? Now we joke about kids being shot because of a medical disability. Really? I am stunned. I do hope that this video becomes viral. I do hope that there are consequences for this. It is obvious that this board does not care about children at all.

Ferguson-There are no winners. We have all lost. A boy lost his life. A police officer has had his life turned upside down. If you do not agree with the verdict, how does violence make it better? I understand peaceful protests and I support peaceful protests. Looting, violence and the like will not bring Michael Brown back. Honest, difficult discussions will not bring him back either. However, honest and difficult discussions may help to keep the peace.
I am begging now. Think about what you say and do. Take a breath. Don't jump to stupid speech and dangerous actions.

Step up!
Dear all of us,
I watched a story this am on the Today Show that rocked me. I cried and cried. It was about homeless children. To hear this girl speak about what her life is like.....it's so very sad and so very unfair. No child in this country should be homeless. She deserves better, from all of us.
Do something to help someone that has less than you. Do one thing. Not just during the holidays but during every season.
