The Branches of Knowledge are Ever Growing




I got this picture from Flickr and felt it showed that I'm passionate for kids to learn about things that they want to learn about in addition to what we have to teach them. There is so much out there to learn and like a tree, our knowledge branches out into different directions, which is okay. Our knowledge is not a tree that has one stalk that goes straight up. This picture also made me think that we need to need to nurture our students learning just like we would a tree or it will die. They need encouragement and care just like a tree needs sun and water.
