Saying yes..

 We interupt the rant to show you a few pictures of what saying yes looks like. 

 When I was doing my student teaching, I had one of the worst teacher and one of the best.  The best suggested that it was easier to say yes than to say no.  When a student says, "can I do this awesome project?" even if it isn't in the plans, say yes. 

 Sometimes they change their mind, or don't exectue it well, but sometimes, they do this.

 The assignment was to draw and label a blue print of a school, town, or classroom.  (Keep in mind I teach a foreign language.)  A student said, "can I build it with legos.  I, of course, said, yes. 

 Well, then he did!  We are a Lego household, and I have developed a deep respect for the Lego art.  I was really impressed with how much time and effort the student put into this assignment. 

The subsequent Spanish conversation we were able to have about this little project was awesome.

Kids are so amazing and creative.
