Essential Questions

The house where my grandmother was born

When unit planning, a big picture aspect you think through are essential questions students will engage with throughout the unit. As I think through summer, in which I am fortunate enough to have time off, I am wondering if essential questions might guide me in spending this time purposefully. I'm the kind of person who really enjoys making to do lists, setting goals, and checking things off of lists. Thinking through essential questions might help me to think critically about these to-dos and make sure my life is in integrity and values-aligned.

I'm brainstorming what essential questions might look like, but here are some current ideas:

*What can I do to become actively anti-racist and less complicit in white supremacy?

*How can I be a good ancestor? (I'm currently listening to Layla F Saad's Good Ancestor Podcast and it's making me think about this question a lot)

*How can I create a home with security, ritual, and freedom to explore and grow for our family?

* How can I be content with what I already have?

*How can I spend my time and money in ways that are values aligned?

*How can I make space for creativity in my life?

There are a lot of questions here, but right now they all seem connected, and I'm digging through them.

Two November Experiments

Avi as a strawberry for Halloween. Since I'm feeling a bit more in a routine work and schedule wise, I've decided to try two experiments this month. I've been thinking about both of them for a while, and I think I have the bandwidth to try them out this month. Experiment #1: The Seven Minute Workout I struggle to get into exercise routines. It's not my highest priority, but I always do feel more energetic on the days I exercise. I've decided to do the seven minute HIIT workout everyday in November to see how it feels. It definitely gets my heart rate up without feeling too hard, and it's easy to fit in right before I shower in the morning. Although I've done this workout intermittently, I'm curious to see what it feels like to make this a daily habit. Experiment #2: Time Block Planning at Work Attempt #1 I read Deep Work by Cal Newport earlier this year, and I've also been listening to his podcast recently. In both...

Adventures Big & Small

Photos from a recent adventure I just started listening to Tranquility by Tuesday by Laura Vanderkam, and one of the ideas she mentioned was planning 2 adventures each week: one big and one small. As I was listening to her describe the rule, I thought about what I had planned this week and realized that I had a few adventures planned without thinking of them in that way. It really helped shift my mindset to realize that I do have some fun and novel things planned, and I'm curious to experiment with adding this to the routine, particularly as we are settling into a new city. I feel like I've plateaued a bit the last few weeks even though things are finally starting to feel settled down. I hit a point where I missed our Colorado friends and my old job, even if I feel like this move and taking time to be at home is right for us in the long run. Thinking through new adventures in this new phase of life is a way to balance some of this feel...

Trees Like Cathedrals

This fall, I'm finding immense joy in the trees in our neighborhood. I've enjoyed fall ever since I lived in Massachusetts just after graduating college, since California fall doesn't have that quintessential fall feeling you hear about. But this year, perhaps because of how hot and ashy September was here, each sign of the season's changing feels hopeful and optimistic. When Avi and I walk in the mornings and evenings, I've spent a lot of time looking up through the leaves in the tree. One of the things I love most about my neighborhood is that it is well-shaded by enormous trees. Even though I live in a residential area near a main road, when I look up I feel as if I've traveled farther into nature away from my house . Lately, I've been thinking of trees almost as cathedrals. I look up and see the light filtering through as though it's streaming in through stained glass windows. Starting my days looking for the ...
