My 6th graders have always been pals to her children for reading and art activities. She asked me to talk to them about my trip to Washington, D.C. They were studying our nations capitol city, and she wanted me to bring my pictures and souvenirs. Ive worked with kindergartners before. They are the ultimate challenge. Id rather be asked to discuss the finer points of micro-lasbrain surgery with an auditorium full of medical students than face 32 kindergartners unprepared. I came ready. I brought illustrations so we could see the buildings. I brought a video tape so we could hear the sounds of the city. I brought things that could be held and touched and smelled and passed around. We talked about things in the Smithsonian. We talked about how laws were made in the Capitol Building. We talked about how scary it was to look down from the Washington Monument. We er over-achievi- were, I believed, spiritually trans- - ported to those marble memorials. The children seemed so enthusiastic - hanging on my every word. You know so much. Success! Youre all so smart. Now, before I go, is there any question I can answer for you? Is there anything youd like to know? One had shot up. Is the Easter Bunny real? His face was innocent His question asked in earnest Heads shook one way or the other. Hands waved. Everyone wanted to share an opinion on this more interesting Parents and teachers will plan such careful lessons. Children will tolerate us to a certain point but will eventually guide us back to their agenda. The blossom of our teachings can, in an instant, become a dried dandelion gone to seed. We must always be prepared d to have our plans blown to the winds by the pursed lips of a old. Prepared, not to lose a lesson, but to see a new one in best-lai- six-ye- ar flying dandelion seeds.
