[LIT] Laurie Wasserman's "Special Gifts"

[Melinda Haynes]

Hi!  I tried to send this wonderful link to my staff, but many are sad they can't access the link to the direct article without subscribing....Any suggestions?  Thanks for sharing! 

"If you want to build a ship, don't herd people together to collect wood and
don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the
endless immensity of the sea." (Antoine de Saint-Exupery)

Imagine my delight when my inbox revealed an article from Teacher Magazine
titled "Special Gifts" and was penned by our very own Laurie Wasserman.

Whenever a child tells me they want to bring me a gift, I always reply that,
"Having you as a student is gift enough." Laurie's article reminds us, as
teachers know, that student growth, whether personal or academic is the gift
we most desire. Thank you Laurie
