While looking for a long-lost poem, I stumbled across a second-grade teacher’s blog called Passionately Curious which chronicles her adventures in the classroom with her students. Unfortunately the blog appears no longer active, but I was so charmed by this perspective that it made me long to be a second-grade teacher. The title of her blog was what caused me to click over to it in the first place; passionately curious is an apt description for so many of the naturalists and educators I know (myself included). I also discovered (in her bio) the source of the blog’s title (I may have to adopt this as my motto):
I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.
– Albert Einstein
Love it! I wish the blog was active. Sounds like one I’d follow.
Me too!
