The SAN Script Friday, June 12
For me, forgiveness and compassion are always linked: how do we hold people accountable for wrongdoing and yet at the same time remain in touch with their humanity enough to believe in their capacity to be transformed?

Pizza Day!
Assembly today – 2:00 PM
I often ask myself this same question. While I do work most of June, July and much of August is spent with my two boys, age 6 and 8. If you have boys, then you know that you have to keep them busy and many times plan activities and games in advance. So thinking forward to this summer… I have started curating and preparing a few resources to support those of you that are home with your little darlings too…
WHAT CAN WE DO WITH THE IPAD?
Many of us have iPads and rather than letting brain drain set in with Angry Birds Transformers, I have compiled a few resources to support you. Don’t get me wrong… I don’t think you have to practice sight words and multiplication tables all summer long either… but choosing times to create something with your child or expose them to critical thinking and coding apps in a 1:1 relaxed setting goes a long way to making the summer a cool experience for both of you:
- FAMILY TIME WITH APPS (Free iBook)
- DIGITAL PARENT (Free iBook with App-tivities)
- SUMMER IPAD ART LESSONS (15+ Ideas and Examples)
- PROGRAMMING AND CODING APPS (30+ Apps)
- TOP EDUCATIONAL GAMES (100+ Apps)
- COMMON SENSE MEDIA SUMMER LEARNING GUIDE (their guide of 150+ apps is broken down in to age groups and lists apps with recommendations which span 6 different categories ranging from Hands on Science and Tinkering and Tech to Multimedia Memories)
