Alive 2/20: laughter

What made me feel alive today?
Witnessing my students' laugh.

Laughter is the best medicine, they say.

A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures, says an Irish proverb.

One of my first grade classes today had a "thank you for doing your best and following expectations" reward day, and I started them off with this silly musical video of Tom and Jerry playing Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2.



The adorable laughter that ensued made me so, SO happy.  I was beaming internally.

There's something about the beauty of a child's laugh that is so essentially and purely alive.
