Free Dyslexia Card
Do you won
der if your child has dyslexia?
Do you have co-op teachers, church teachers, scout leaders, or other adults working with your dyslexic child regularly, and you wish you had a way to explain some things about dyslexia to them?
Dyslexic Advantage has created a really nice graphic representation of the challenges and strengths of people with dyslexia, and includes tips for how to best help them thrive with learning.  This card is available as a free PDF download, or you can pay a nominal fee for printed ones to be sent to you. What a great tool to share with others!
The card is also available in Spanish here.
Something to Memorize when Things are Tough
I saw this and felt it was so peaceful and worth sharing. Â I don’t know if it’s technically a poem (what *does* make something technically a poem, anyhow?), or perhaps it is a “meditation.” Â Either way, it’s lovely and I wanted to share it with you.
“Let nothing upset you,
Let nothing startle you.
All things pass;
God does not change.
Patience wins all it seeks.
Whoever has God lacks nothing:
God alone is enough.”
~Teresa of Avila
Musical Monday: Music from Ancient Sumer

Apparently clay tablets exist from the 14th century BC that not only have cuneiform, but also a version of sheet music! Â While this certainly doesn’t apply music theory like we are accustomed to, we can get a glimpse into what this ancient hymn sounds like. Â Of course the ancient Sumerians didn’t have a midi keyboard to play their tunes on, but this is pretty cool nonetheless. Â Check it out:
