Dear Joel, Micah and Brenna,
Thank you for reminding me that learning involves the senses. Thank you for reminding me to feel the grass beneath my feet and look into the sky above my head. Thank you for teaching me that I'm never too old for wonder and that life is never too busy to slow down and look and listen and smell and hear. Most of all, thanks for reminding me of the power of touch. Your high-fives and hugs in the morning are more powerful than you can ever imagine.
Love,
Dad

If you're interested, I just released A Sustainable Start: A Realistic Look at the First Year of Teaching.
Perfect. The most important lessons I learn and re-learn are from my daughter and son. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful-- my two kids teach me lessons everyday too.
ReplyDeleteSometimes they are lessons that are pleasant, and sometimes not.
And often it takes much re-learning. :-)
