A "Pause for Words"
Eagle Encounter
Against blue sky vibrance, their white heads
bob up and down in the huge nest,
my first sighting of bald eagles
in their true nature.
I steady my hands, to snap a picture
to prove my witness of this winged brood.
The sun burns my bare arms,
seagulls shriek behind me,
fly low over Lake Erie.
One of the eagles flies from the crowded nest,
glides through openings of outstretched tree limbs,
dips into the waves of the musty lake,
arrives back to family with a stunned fish
in its talons.

Teachers are some of our state’s best creative problem solvers and innovators. Great educators take risks, learn, reflect, and collaborate.

Leonardo da Vinci was born in 1452, his father was a successful civil official in Florence, Italy. His mother was a young peasant woman named Caterina. Leonardo spent his childhood at his grandparents' home at Vinci, a small town 25 miles west of Florence.
By age 13, he showed a talent for drawing, and his father apprenticed him to Andrea Verrocchio, the official artist of
the Medici family. His studio was also a research center for chemistry, mechanics, optics and other sciences.
When he was 30, Leonardo went to Milan where he was an "all-around expert" at the duke's court, involved in
everything from paintings to plumbing. It was in Milan that he painted The Last Supper as a fresco in the dining
room of a Dominican convent. It became immediately famous.
Leonardo was 47 when the French captured Milan, and he returned to Florence. During this time he painted Mona
Lisa. King Francis I later gave him a generous pension to come to France. Leonardo accepted and lived his final
years "in exile", quietly pursuing his multiple interests.
