This summer, I wish my students would. . . .
* lose themselves in a good book- visit foreign places, meet interesting invididuals, learn unique facts
* become better at asking questions and become thinkers rather than just doers- I hope they ask why, where, when, how
* have conversations with folks older than them about values and dynamics of relationships or friendships
* be more conscious of how wonderful they are and how much they can contribute to our society (maybe recycling in the classroom has lit a spark at home)
* think about the world around them and become more in tune with the way things operate and reasons behind it
* visit a place unique and special- for whatever reason and with whatever method (via Discovery Channel or a book or even a family vacation)
* give and help others and find the joy and happiness that it can bring a person
This summer, I will miss my students and be thinking of them as I spend time refreshing with my own children and family. I will think of them and hope that they are experiencing joy, happiness and health that will help them start the school year with a refreshing, strong start!
