Warm Heart

Japanese Koi Painting

I've been a bit down of late in regard to Sophie's school (see my Hat post here), but my heart was warmed over when I read the following note in Sophie's communication book today from her art teacher:

Art: Period 2: Sophie watched a segment of a film about Japan to prepare for our unit on Japanese prints. She helped color a carp (giant goldfish) that we saw in the gardens filmed around Kyoto.
                                                                          Ms. L


That just seems so peaceful and interesting to me, and I imagine Sophie thought so, too. I'm grateful for Miss L.
