Very often, great teachers are also great readers. They somehow go hand in hand. And great teachers inspire more great readers. From the very beginning of our existence we pull in information around us with sight and sound, drinking in details about our world. And then we add language. Speaking a language, writing it, reading it, using math symbols to represent it... these are all ways of sharing our world with each other in an abstract, yet predictable way. And achieving the abstract is a fabulous feat of the human mind any way you look at it.
This blog is for the great teachers at Goddard School. They are dedicated to the best environment, the best teaching, the best learning and the finest joy imaginable for children. My goal is to provide ideas, information, techniques, literature lists, and support for these great teachers!
