A few years ago, we watched a video during a staff development meeting. It was about not knowing what people are thinking and making assumptions about why they respond or behave in a certain way. What would pop over people’s heads if we could see their thoughts?
These are some of today’s bubbles hovering over my head.

Oh, what an interesting way to slice. I had to laugh at the pile thought because I am a big “piler!” Hope all is well with the chemo treatment thought!

I’ve been playing with Canva at work, so I wanted to see what I’d come up with besides an invitation. We recently found out about a family member’s diagnosis. We’re hoping for the best and supporting the family as best we can.

I like the thought bubble as a visual and as a slicing technique! It may be fun for students, too!

Ooh, yes, they’d have fun with it!

As someone who finds herself with a lot of thought bubbles that shouldn’t be speech bubbles, I really like this approach. And I also think you did a beautiful job of capturing the range or thoughts. From trivial “I don’t know what to make for dinner” to heavy and difficult “her first chemo starts tomorrow,” I know my brain bounces around across all of this territory…
Thank you for this post =)

Thank you Lainie. We do have a wide range of thoughts coursing through our minds. I surprised myself that I didn’t get snarky with it, lol!

Love the way you shared this with a graphic. We did a similar thing at a school meeting with thought bubbles. I offer support to you and the person beginning chemo tomorrow- may the kind compassionate hands of the medical personnel provide comfort.

Thank you. We’re hoping for the best as she and her family go through this. Tough news.

I really like the way you’ve combined your writing with the graphic to create such an appealing visual piece. Every time I play around with Canva, I end up getting frustrated and quitting, but I really need to learn how to create better visuals…. I like how this piece captures the range of our thought bubbles–from the serious diagnosis and treatment to the daily drama.

Thanks. I’ve been using it at work and had students use it to publish audiobooks/e-books where they did the reading. It has come a long way since I first started using it and I can’t seem to catch up with all of the features they now have. I have a trio of students who will be using it for podcasting, as soon as we figure it out.
