questions and ideas.

while on our recent visit to the farm

one of the 3-year old kinder

asked the farmers why the windmill wasn’t spinning

after a short discussion about the wind and movement

he put it all together and was happy to know the answer.

when we sat next to each other on the bus for our return to school

he turned to me with a big smile and said,

“you know, i just love, love, love learning.”

and it almost brought me to tears.

  6. Well bless his heart. That attitude is very rare these days among children in all age groups. It’s as though having the opportunity to learn something is a punishment of sorts. On the other hand what too many teachers are indoctrinating kids with is very very inappropriate and often conflicts with wholesome family values.

  7. Bless his heart for discovering the passion for learning at such an early age. Bless your heart for being an avenue in which he can pursue his passion for learning.

  19. And don’t you wish you would be around when HE really gets going?
    OH didn’t mean you won’t be. But he’s only 3 years old.
    YOU must take some credit for his enthusiasm. :)

  21. That’s okay, I’ve tears enough for both of us. I can’t imagine a greater complement for a teacher. And what a wonderful quote. This needs to be emblazoned in the sky for the entire nation to see.
