This summer my Mom gave me a framed picture with a quote by Sister Barbara Hance. The picture now sits on a small desk in my bedroom surrounded by candles and other odds and ends. Last night I was looking at the tiny words below the black and white picture, “Show me a day when the world wasn’t new."
In the world of a 1st grader, everything is wondrous.
With wide eyes they observe.
Words and sounds, ideas and dreams, tears and laughter.
What isn’t new through the eyes of a 1st Grader? They are learning and discovering not only their world, but themselves.
They naturally have an adventurous and awe-struck spirit about their surroundings.
From the simplest things like recognizing what the different colors are, to more complex observations about how things grow, my 1st graders are already teaching me to continuously be amazed by life.
