Riddle me Tuesday

Thes last few weeks with the gifted and talented group at school have been a real joy. The younger group is focusing on writing stories, poems, and illustrations to show the four seasons.

One of my 1st graders said to me today. "Do you know why I like to come to GT on Tuesday's so much"?

"I don't know , why don't you tell me, A?"

"Because you always let us speak our most interesting thoughts without making us raise our hands."

I just had to laugh. I like to run a very round circle open discussions while we work on our projects, and the kids just always come up with the coolest ideas.....even if they sometimes have to be fleshed out a little.

My older group just finished their Paper mache planets, and we are suspending them from the library ceiling for all the classes to enjoy. I can't wait to move onto our next project. I will share more about that next week.

Riddle for the day: We are five little items of an everyday sort you will find us all in "a tennis court".
