Still a few spots left for Grumpy Pirate Story Camp! July 26-30 at San Francisco Friends School Open to all!


Hi Everyone!

Time is a-ticking until Grumpy Pirates Story Camp sets sail!

In two weeks we will embark on a journey of writing stories, telling stories(I have some about my dragon, Dahmay[see above] and Grumpy Pirates as I know a few very well...), inventing characters, learning new words and characters, writing BADLY, learning each other's favorite and unfavorite things, making sock puppets, collages, watercolors, improv. games( like Guess My Secret, Expert Interview and Alien Talk Show, to mention a few...) and possibly writing a play together!

Our mother-ship of narrative adventure is the cool and fabulous San Francisco Friends School. And, believe it or not, there are still a few spots left on our Grumpy Pirate Ship. Sailors are going into grades 2-4. The days are 8:30 to 4pm. It's $400 for the week.

If you are interested call me, 510 333 5519 or email elscott20@yahoo.com with any questions. If you are ready to sign up, here is the link

Clean Slate Parenting 1 3/2/16 We begin. The art of clean slate parenting. The other day my son, André, who is nearly 10 years old, and I were talking about growth mindset vs fixed mindset. (Many thanks to Carol Dweck for her visionary book, “Mindset”.)  I asked if he felt like he had a fixed mindset for any of his subjects in school. Because, I told  him, I had a fixed mindset about other things (housekeeping, some yoga poses, zumba, earning money ) and I had a growth mindset about some things (parenting, sculpture, meditation, performing).  We agreed that some parts of our life are bathed in the light of growth mindset and that  some parts that were clamped down by a fixed mindset. If you have a growth mindset, you see failures as opportunities  to learn and grow as opposed to final judgments about your character. If you have a fixed mindset, when you fail you have proved to the world that you are a sham and not worth anything. ...
