it began
with a look around the science room
taking a closer glance
at amazing natural treasures
honeycombs, footprints, nests
when suddenly
someone discovered
a hidden hole in the rug
everyone rushed to see this
very rare and incredible curiosity!
‘the biggest quest to learn anything is curiosity. if you are curious about something, you will go and dig.’
-rakesh jhunjhunwala
Childhood curiosity is amazing. Just a shame that so many of us lose that by ‘growing up’.
Best wishes, Pete.

I get up in the middle of the night occasionally and walk down the hallway. Your class would love all the lively scientific things I find coming out of the woodwork.

Curiosity is key. What a charming example of how kids who, are curious, will be interested in small things not noted by others.

Oh, the powers of curiosity and the magnifying glass. I love how you encourage your kids to explore. And here one was, discovering a discovery all on his/her own and then drawing the masses for additional study.

Beth, this is beyond precious! Your words and photos–the kids’ curiosity. Oh, my heart! Before I leave a classroom after reading I tell the kids, “Remember to stay kind and curious!” It seems your classroom oozes with that because of YOU!

Curiosity is a wonderfully rewarding thing during childhood, but it should be used with caution in later years if the saying about cats is to be believed!
