Saints are extraordinary for their holiness, but their lives are also full of ordinary moments. Here are some photos to prove it.

Tucked behind a hedgerow in the town of Bowral, NSW, Susie and Gavin Martin's weatherboard cottage is a hive of activity. The two renovators moved to the NSW Southern Highlands to raise their children and give an old neglected cottage some love.

If you are not familiar with Elizabeth the Wonderworker, taker a moment to look her up. She is a fascinating and influential character -- she is both a gentle healer, and a wielder of powerful presence. In the Eastern Christian tradition, her feast day and the feast day of St George are in the Springtime. In the Waldorf calendar of seasonal celebrations, the story of Saint Elizabeth fits in nicely in the Fall/Autumn since she was a dragon slayer, and that is the story soul-quality for the Waldorf seasonal celebration of Michaelmas. People who wish to show more examples of female saints will find that her story fits in perfectly. This story may appeal to some for it's lack of violence: she used no weapons in her interactions with the dragon. While in the original story the dragon does die in the end, it can be varied variation for more sensitive minded/hearted children who have a hard time with the dragon dying. Saying the she "subdued the dragon" will not change the soul-quality of the story, nor change the seeds planted for personal growth later in life. In this icon you can see the cave of the dragon on the background and Elizabeth's bare foot on the dragon's head. Below are some ideas about how to make a festival with her as the focus, as well as a version of the dragon story. You will find that many Michaelmas dragon type crafts also fit in well here, and you can find many other dragon themed crafts on the web that might be appropriate. Ideas for celebrating: -- This story lends itself very well to a puppet show. -- Make dragon bread. -- Make a dragon out of clay. -- Dress up as Saint Elizabeth and walk around barefoot inside and outside. Walk around and explore different terrains and textures. -- Perform a play of the story. -- Make a painting, chalk, or crayon drawing of Elizabeth and the dragon. -- Consider eating a meal of foods from Greece or Turkey, the regions in which she lived (Thrace). A Story of St Elizabeth The Wonderworker and the Dragon Elizabeth was a talented and holy woman who knew from early on that she had a special mission in life to be a nun and to help people. Elizabeth worked and studied all her life to make her abilities strong and focused. She was extra gentle and kind to everyone, and very tender-hearted towards those who were sick or hurt. She knew healing arts, and helped many people become well again. She healed both their hearts and their bodies. The group of holy women she lived with looked to her for guidance, and people from all over traveled to seek her wisdom. The emperor of the land was so grateful for all the good things this group of women did that he gave them a piece of land to make their home where they could live and people could come to for help. Before they moved there, they learned that there was a terrible dragon that lived there in a cave. The dragon made people scared & afraid, and filled their hearts with despair. But Elizabeth did not feel despair nor any fear. She confidently walked in her bare feet right up to the cave with nothing else; no tools and no weapons -- just the surety of God and knowledge of what is rightful. Elizabeth boldly called "Dragon! COME OUT!" and the dragon obeyed her! The fierce-some and surly dragon slithered out and in stood front of her. Elizabeth made the sign of the cross over the dragons head and the dragon immediately became calm. She placed her bare foot on the dragons head and subdued it. In second grade the story of St Elizabeth the Wonderworker might be added as one of the main lesson block stories. You can find out more of her story by searching online as well as other pictorial depictions of her and her life. Here is the main lesson book entry and picture of my second grader: (In this case, the different colored words do not have a purpose -- my young student just "wanted it to be pretty")

Thirty years after her death, the body of St. Bernadette was found in a remarkable state of preservation.

With a Yorkist husband and a Lancastrian family, Lady Elysabeth St. John is caught between two sides of the war for the crown. In 1470 Lady Elysabeth becomes godmother to Edward V and she is thrown into the middle of political turmoil. Centered around historical events, such as the death of King Edward IV, this novel draws the reader into the epic-style stories of medieval times. Look out for one of England’s historical mysteries as the plot thickens with deception, betrayal, and love. Whether you love history or just a good story, The Godmother’s Secret will captivate you. Using a historical figure with the same name as the narrator, Elizabeth St. John pays attention to detail that adds more magic and fun to this brilliant novel. The Godmother’s Secret is beautifully written with a careful balance of fiction and fact made possible thanks to Elizabeth St. John’s meticulous research. The descriptions are breathtaking and well-placed. The blend of action, introspection, and drama is perfect. I loved that I did not always agree with Elysabeth. It made her character more human with independent decisions and thoughts and not simply the lovable storyteller. The other characters are also carefully fleshed out and masterfully imagined from the past. St. John has carefully added individual characteristics and behavior that breathes life into every person along the road and it made for a marvelous read. St. John’s experience as a brilliant novelist shines through in this flawless story that took me on a magical journey into the past. The only complaint I have is that it ended too soon. I can’t wait to get my hands on St. John's other work, The Lydiard Chronicles.

What do giant snack bags have to do with art? They are POP ART! Eighth grade took a look at pop artists, such as Andy Warhol, and we discussed popular culture. Some times labels, such as Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans, can be used for pop art. Eighth grade paired up into groups of two or three to create these giant snacks. Students brought in what ever type of snack bag they wanted to mimic. We used folding and measuring to try and match our snack bags. After painting the large paper we stuffed them with newspaper and stapled them closed. These snacks bags have been a hit in the lobby, with everyone stopping to check them out.

Hello! I'm working on growing my teaching skills for 21st Century Learning. My first formal introduction to such skills was through Tony Wagner's book The Global Achievement Gap and I've recently been reading his Creating Innovators. Additionally, I'm taking courses in the Microsoft Educator Community. Reflecting on how 21st Century Learning is defined (which varies a bit from source to source),* I believe as a teacher of almost thirty years, I've always valued purposeful, student-led learning, collaboration, problem-solving, creativity, and communication. Still, there is a lot to keep thinking about and growing into, especially considering our ever-changing technologies and our students' unprecedented global access. I've just completed a course on collaboration through the Microsoft Educator Community which helped me think deeper about how much of my work with students has truly been as 'collaborative' and 'student-led' as it can be. Yes, I've had students work in groups with what I thought was shared responsibility and choice, but I think I can stretch by giving groups even more decision making power over their content, process, and/or product. Additionally, I'm investigating ways to ensure student collaborative work is 'interdependent'--that they have to rely on one another for the group to succeed and their parts come together into a cohesive whole (whether that's a presentation, event, project, or other). One way to guide these efforts is by having clearly defined goals which I've put together in two 'Collaboration Skills' Rubrics. One is for self-assessment and one is for group assessment. I really prefer working with students to create rubrics or success criteria, but I believe these will remind me of the direction we're going...that is in the direction of more student-responsibility and the active building of collaboration skills. (Obviously, as we work with these rubrics, or something like them, we would have to define what each of these criteria looks and feels like in order for students to be successful. Even so, we teachers have to trust in the process and our students and in the truth that they will grow into these skills with practice. Remember, embrace approximation. Make mistakes, debrief, and learn. That goes for all of us.) As I work with my K-6 students this year, I'd like to take more risks and give over more of the learning power. When I strive to do this, I'm often surprised and excited about the results. Here are the rubrics. I'd love some feedback. The google doc link is for both. #happycollaboration #happylearning https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1J6IiR6B37WaGxXZWtULW4zTjg/view?usp=sharing *Depending on the source, 21st Century Learning Skills include: collaboration, critical thinking, problem solving, creativity and innovation, communication, self-direction, visual learning, information literacy, and global and cultural awareness.
