Happy Kids Teach Too day!!!!!!!!!!!!! This morning nearly 60 of Benson's students assembled in the gym, set up displays and taught their peers and many, many adults about a topic of their choosing. It was UH-MAY-ZING!!! The kids (ages ranging from Kindergarten to second grade) chose a topic and created a display at home, then brought it in and when the event began----- had many people stop at their displays, at which time they educated each about their topic. Topics ranged from hip-hop dance to bugs to making slime to playing guitar...I could go on and on. The topics were as diverse as the children, and the level of the kids' knowledge was beyond any and all expectation. It is so fun to work in a primary building and see the kids, who by many are considered "too little," consistently rise up to any bar they are given. Never underestimate the power of the wee ones!!
It was a great day! And on a related note--the parent volunteers who went around and spoke to the children and made up pages full of positive, meaningful, personalized comments were also uh-may-zing!! The event has become a well-oiled machine, and it is so special to me to sit back and observe the preparations all come to life.
Get a load of these cute little geniuses:
