And love every bit. Being in the present with a young child is such a gift, and you've shown us exactly why. I love "I stand protectively close, just in case she slips, knowing I am ridiculous." & isn't that just what you also do with students? And this: "But my walks with Clara have reminded me that this is their first time around this particular block." So right to remember that they don't know "the ropes". I love the connection you made Max-no matter the age, we all need to be patient with those who are experiencing things for the first time! Thanks for a terrific post to think over before the year begins!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238612514264591228.post-5794612857063331532013-07-23T07:00:12.077-06:002013-07-23T07:00:12.077-06:00Wow, I really, really loved the observations and t...Wow, I really, really loved the observations and then the big stick. You brought it to a great close connecting it to your middle school kiddos. It i so amazing that you've thought of this....it is their first experience. This is the perfect piece to share with staff, definitely a new insight. xo Nanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13135130889558068676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238612514264591228.post-16657440108480863942013-07-23T05:30:57.544-06:002013-07-23T05:30:57.544-06:00Oh Max, I just love this post on so many levels. ...Oh Max, I just love this post on so many levels. It is a reminder to slow down and notice as we race through life but it is also a reminder that we learn from those around us as much as we have learned from books about teaching. Thanks for sharing your "walk" around the block. drferreriblogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08800953133789773280noreply@blogger.com
