My Favorite Quote

One of my favorite quotes that is truly meaningful to me regarding children is "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." - Benjamin Franklin

I believe teachers must be intentional when planning for classroom instruction.  They must consider children's  developmental levels, ages and cultures.  They must design the classroom to invite learning and promote a trusting relationship between themselves and the children.  They also must be willing to immerse themselves into the learning of their children; initiating conversations and being actively involved in the classroom.
