Every day of my life, I get up and make my bed before I do anything else. It is a familiar fold.  It is not a familiar fold for my husband. His question:  Why make a bed you are only going to mess in the evening?  That question prompts another: ]]></description>

Understanding and remembering what the words tell us is the meaning of reading.  It’s why we read.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Across the preschool, classrooms are humming with activity.  Each class is laden with an abundance of raw art materials waiting patiently to be turned into a masterpiece. Hands: drip with finger-paints, cake with clay, clench hammers, and pound wood, as each new creation begins to take form.  There is no more colorful place than a classroom of preschoolers set free with their imaginations. After a year filled with experiences which demonstrated each medium’s varied capabilities, they are ready to strike out on their own.]]></description>

Don’t get me wrong; I have the opportunity to meet and speak to some of the most complex minds, but it is the youngest members of society who constantly remind me of true “smartness”.  Preschoolers have the innate ability to discern that which is important from that which is not. ]]></description>
