So that's what we're here for!

Today I was working in my classroom and Maddie's teacher came down the hall into my room. She smiled and said: "I'm really not sure what Maddie thinks of the activities in the classroom." The classroom at school is carefully planned and each work offered is intricately designed to teach some skill (pre-reading, pre-math, spacial development, sensory awareness, etc).

The teacher continued: "I was showing Maddie a geometric work and I was using the specific language associated with the shapes. After we finished the lesson and she had completed the work, she turned to me, looking surprised and said, 'Miss T, this is a learning work!'"
