The Inkformant Report: Fall 2017

“On a pumpkin patch field trip with the kiddos in October 2017, there were black baby pigs eating pumpkins.  They looked like they were eating out of big orange eggshells! So much adorableness.”

“Latte Art”

“Here’s a sneak peak at an upcoming story #ontheblog.  ‘Win Min: A Villager’s Story of Education will be on The Inkformant tomorrow!”

“Photos, coffee, & doodles.  The Inkformant is powered by round blackish things.”

“A dozen, a gross, and a score

Haha I didn’t create this equation/limerick, but thought it was pretty nifty and wanted to share it with you guys!  When you teach both math and literacy, the moments where they come together sure are the best (Note: limericks are poems that haven an AABBA rhyme scheme).”

“If The Inkformant had arms and a mouth, what do you reckon he would look like?  May our imaginations run wild!”

“The case of the missing bobby pins is still a mystery…”

“If you want to see the good in others, I believe that you must see the good in yourself first.”
