The beauty in discovery is such an amazing thing to witness. I remember when I was a child getting so excited about the new words and worlds I would learn about almost on a daily basis. Being a teacher and a parent is quite a blessing. It is such an honor to watch discovery and knowledge unfold so simply. This week as we get back to our regular routine be ready to witness the discovery that scholars experience on a daily basis unfold in their minds. Picture Source.
