I have had the privilege of teaching Abby and CJ science twice now. They have an insatiable appetite for asking questions and learning. It reminds me of when I took Biology in High School. Our patient prof would go down rabbit trail after rabbit trail in order to follow the interest and knowledge quest of his students. I enjoyed that class more than any other before or since.

We are studying astronomy. We’ll be doing this all year. With an educational system that stresses superficial understanding of many things, I am thrilled to dive deep with my 2 school-aged. Actually Emmy (the 3 year-old) was pinned to my left elbow taking “notes” as well. I have high hopes for this year. For the kids… as well as for me.
