  1. As a counselor I am thrilled that the rest of the world is finally realizing how important attitude, laughing and playing is in helping us to be more productive.
    Laughter is very contagious and helps us all to feel better.

  2. Proud of myself...after resisting video games, I finally tried Guitar Hero this weekend!!! I do like to play card - does that count?

  3. So proud of you, Cheryl! As a fledgling fellow guitar hero myself, just curious - what songs did you play?

  4. I found the whole "laughter club" idea very interesting (loved the video clip as well). Not sure if I could fully embrace the idea, however. I also loved the quote from this chapter that stated, "Learning isn't about memorizing isolated facts. It's about connecting and manipulating them." This is so true and what every teacher hopes for their students. I strive to help my students make the "big connections" and see the big picture of why they are learning. This isn't always the easiest thing to do.
