(if that makes any sense.) anyway, great post as usual!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12534602761236401559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578299375433383985.post-28416645237580708612010-02-11T18:04:07.944-08:002010-02-11T18:04:07.944-08:00What a simple yet profound question to ask.

However, right now, asking questions doesn't seem to be a problem with the oldest one! Everything begins with " 'Cause why................" when she has something to ask me. Hopefully, the thirst for knowledge will stay with her.Mamafamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04642279230675116567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578299375433383985.post-56787618201560653902010-02-10T19:17:07.635-08:002010-02-10T19:17:07.635-08:00Just had a conversation with a parent today who sa...Just had a conversation with a parent today who said they wanted their child to be more descriptive when answering the question "What did you do in school today?" Amazingly enough I talked to her about how the question was framed and perhaps asking the same old question leads to the same old answer. David's father's question has stayed with me also and I try to relay the message to parents that kids think so deeply, and they rise to the expectations presented to them. Also a great reminder of how great it is to as those thoughtful questions.Brent and Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14984443680360669177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578299375433383985.post-46957608610602621922010-02-06T11:19:50.089-08:002010-02-06T11:19:50.089-08:00Of all the songs your group enjoys singing, this i...Of all the songs your group enjoys singing, this is one of my two favorites - the other being the Ruby Bridges song. Our latest song is kind of dying a slow death because I haven't generated enough excitement around it. Largely, it's my own excitement that is lacking - the kids are always eager to write!<br /><br />I have to say that David's father asking him "What questions did you ask today?" made me both excited about a new possibility yet disappointed I hadn't ever thought to ask it myself. What a great message!<br /><br />I've been away from reading blogs the past ten days or so. I'm eager to catch up on what I missed.Mr. Hass' Classhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01966423580619691843noreply@blogger.com
