Intentionally Capturing, Intentionally Sharing

      One of my goals this year is to share more "snapshot stories" of my daily life in Thailand and teaching at Grace International School.  I wish I had time to give more detailed accounts of each of these captured moments, but I'd rather defer to "a picture's worth a thousand words" than to not share at all. I hope you find these enjoyable! 

My new favorite de-compressing activity:
puzzle apps! (You can even
use your own photos.)
Inspired by the puzzles
I did with family this summer.

Getting to know my homeroom
students
with Unique Name cards.

Students enjoying independent
reading (the 15 most quiet minutes
of the day). 

Some of my former students live nearby,
so I was welcomed home one day
with a concert
in the street! They're very excited
about being in the band this year.

"Invention Hour": students
take junk and make something out of it!
These kids got
lucky with an old carburetor that
 had been donated.

…our newest class pet! 

The Rhino Beetle...

Delicious fruit smoothies from the market for less than $1.

My team during staff orientation's "Amazing (G)Race" adventures! 

Huay Tung Tao.
Great place to relax.

Love getting out to open spaces!

Misty mountains before the rain.

Motorbike contraptions in
the rice paddies.

This little guy hung out with
me for a while, first on my finger
and then on my sunglasses.

A great view of Doi Suthep
from my neighborhood!

EWW!!! Almost stepped on him.
Still recovering.

Part of Wotorot market --
a fun place to go if you don't mind crowds,
have time, energy,
and baht for a smoothie. :-)

Still trying to figure out the
tire situation…was it put there
on purpose??
