Next message: Mitchell, Gayle: "RE: [Teacher-talkinquiry] session 3"
Hi guys, It is always amazing to me too that when the children have more of
a hand in their learning that we can cover necessary info in spite of
ourselves. The children make it happen and it is much more fun for all of
us. I liked when that one teacher (3rd grade magnet school) said that he
has, along with himself, 23 students AND 23 teachers. Good approach. Sally
