The Joy and Vulnerability of working with kids.
The kid knows more than the average adult about history
But when I watch him write he takes the longest time.
He tells me that during Monets life there were two world wars.
It didn’t say in the book, but he knows it from the dates- he just
doesn’t know how to spell ‘world’ yet.
Teaching myself french again- long live duo lingo
And to see kids having their strengths so differently.
I feel small– Ill-equipped to help them make sense of it all
when half the time I know as little as they do.
But then again I remind myself that so often I remind them
of how we are in school to learn- and that each of us learns
on their own terms, in their own time. And I guess the
time to learn right now is mine.
