Yesterday I was checking the reading responses of my 5th graders when I read an entry that warmed my heart and reminded me how important it is to allow children the opportunity to express their deepest thoughts and feelings. Students were asked to reflect on the author's use of light and darkness within the text and to imagine what the symbolism might be. A student responded: I believe the light represents the hope that is within us all. Even in times of darkness and despair, there is forever a glimmer of light that gives us peace.
It is refreshing to see true optimism and creativity come together. Wishing you all a peaceful week.
