And that believing the imaginary to be real is childish. Oh how we all secretly trembled at being accused of being childish. That was the worst thing ever. Yet on a deeper level, I've always borne an illuminating layer of awe and faith and trust in the imaginary.

As such, I've learned that elementary-level teachers are often folks who are concrete, orderly, feet-on-the-ground types, and I'd say my experience with most of them bears this out. The classroom can actually be a hard place for any BUT this type, at least from time to time, and in certain ways.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10006966091789130047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570512522741409033.post-30611017446277858952014-05-28T10:14:50.393-07:002014-05-28T10:14:50.393-07:00Nice meeting you virtually through your blog and w...Nice meeting you virtually through your blog and website.
