MEME Passion Quilt

I love how playing music, pretending, and learning become one in the classroom. If you could have heard his rhythm you might understand. To this little boy those Marx brothers glasses gave him super rhythmic powers. It was also the first time he had expressed real pride in some thing he had done. He was so proud of himself and I was so proud of him.
