Every teacher wants to touch their students, to reach them in such a way that we hear little pings and almost see lightbulbs over their heads. It is for this reason that I have focused on encouraging discovery and curiosity in my classroom. I teach English Language Arts 9-12 in a small K-12 school. My days are never boring and I want the students to feel that way too. My goal is to create a classroom of thinking, questioning, and discovering. How can you not smile when wondering?
