We are the change we seek! Thank you!

I am a person through other people.  My humanity is tied to yours.
—Zulu Proverb

The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
—Dietrich Bonhoeffer, German philosopher and theologian

Every child is gifted. They just unwrap their packages at different times.
—Anonymous 

It takes a whole village to raise a child
—Igbo (Nigerian) Proverb

Thanks for being great colleagues and providing invaluable insight.  It is so refreshing to be with others who are like minded in spirit and have huge hearts for children.  We are gaining knowledge that will make a difference for children. This is the essence of God.  To those of you taking EDUC 6161, I will see you on May 2!  Enjoy the break.

    I have a version of the "all children are gifted" quote on my blog as well.

    "All children are gifted, some just open their presents differently".

    Thanks for sharing.

    Joy,

    You had some quotes that were knew to me. I especially enjoyed the one about all children being gifted... I think this quote would help many of my parents at my school that are always questioning if their child is behind because he or she is not doing something one of my other toddlers is. I will definitly be using this one!
