honestly we need to let kindergarteners name things from now on. today a student asked if something was “clear-through” (see through). just brilliant.

I remember a young teacher asking me for advice as she began her career. My advice was not profound… but here it is: Learn from your colleagues; don’t be afraid to fail; and never stop caring about the kids.
