I’ve just spent over an hour collecting songs, poems, and self-portraits as a first step toward putting together a cohesive enrichment plan for my students who are ready to fly.
Most of them are not ready to fly. They hop around a little and come fluttering and sputtering back. Some, in fact, won’t even entertain the idea of leaving the nest. If I try to nudge them out, they don’t spread their wings and fly; they just thud to the ground.
What do parent (teacher) birds do in the wild? I have a feeling that they give it the old college try and then move along. I’m not getting paid to just move along, so I had better get these little birdies what they need.
