kinder do hands-on research
writing their observations and making conclusions in their notes
“words of wisdom are spoken by children at least as often as scientists.”

learning is creation.
“what does our word say?!!”
(two kinder working together in my multi-age classroom, one older, one younger)

“learning is creation, not consumption.
knowledge is not something a learner absorbs,
but something a learner creates.”

window of opportunity.
if you look closely
just to the left
of the little blue suitcase
you’ll find
a curious young boy
hiding amongst
the summer holiday
window display
the best part of it all
safe behind the glass
peeking out into the world
eyes open and full of wonder.

“if a window of opportunity appears, don’t pull down the shade.”

merit.
so proud to be a member from way back
of the ‘look it up club’
i was very shy and quiet
but once i learned to read
the world opened up to me
i ‘mastered’ the encyclopedia
and never stopped looking things up.

“true merit, like a river, the deeper it is, the less noise it makes.”

be curious.
each one with her own strength
kinder figure out how to solve the puzzle
by working as a team.

‘be curious, not judgmental.’
