="Our minds and those of our children are like toolkits.They are filled with those delicate instruments for learning and for applying what's learned."= =--Dr. Mel Levine=

As we press forward to educate our children, we sharpen existing skills, learn new ones, read, discuss, question, collaborate, always striving to understand the children who fill our classrooms, libraries, lunch rooms and hallways. Who are they, and how can we help ensure their academic and personal success?**
