Through the eyes of an eight year old...

(For those that did not know...I taught Science last year as a specialist for Pre-K through 5th Grade.)

On Friday, I was sitting with a group of kids and we were discussing the phases of the moon. They had different pictures of the different stages and they were trying to put them in order starting with the "new moon." They would watch a short video clip and then make changes to their cards.

After several tries and still not getting it quite right, one boy looked at me and said, "Mrs. Currin, how do you remember all the phases?" Before I could answer another child said really enthusiastically, "Because she is a scientist!" Another child chimed in and said, "Yea, don't you remember she taught us all of that science stuff last year!"

In the eyes of a few eight year olds, I am right up their with Einstein!

(If only they knew that most Sundays last year Matt was explaining to me the science behind my experiments for the upcoming week!)

And while I have your attention, please join me in a "No Snow/No Ice Dance." I am not interested in having any ice or snow this week because I would really enjoy a spring break.
