What happens if you raise chicken hens for the eggs and find out that you have a rooster in the bunch? What does this problem have to do with teaching and parenting? This podcast episode looks at the roosters that all teachers discover in their studios from time to time.

Monthly Focus: Humor
Our focus was on humor this past month because of the power humor has to connect us in positive ways.
WEEKLY miSSION: Smile
Our weekly missions regarding humor have included looking for those things that made us laugh and following the giggles. We also thought of ways to brighten up those areas in our lives that lacked humor. We also looked for ways to smile more.
As we prepare for a new month, let us finish out this month by accepting and enjoying those moments of joy we encounter in our lives daily. Let us treasure those moments and accept the sparkle that comes from joyfulness.
