Loving To Learn

What a gift to be able to sit down with families at conferences this week. One of my favorite parts of conferences is when I get to hear what family’s hopes, dreams, and wishes for their children are for this school year. I was overwhelmed by the similar responses I heard from the families in Opal 1. More than anything else this year, the hope is that their children will love to learn. Author Ellin Keene holds that same value:

When we are curious, we are building upon a uniquely human trait– the need to pose questions and seek answers. Curiosity becomes insatiable, seeking to understand becomes intoxicating, and we find the life of the mind deeply pleasurable. We want more.

~Ellin Keene, Author of To Understand

Here are some images from the last two weeks of children in Opal 1 loving to learn!
