New School Clothes By Ben

Tell me and I forget.
Teach me and I will remember.
Involve me and I learn.
                      - Benjamin Franklin

This post is dedicated to all my NEH Benjamin Franklin Buddies!  I am sending you new school clothing virtually (oh how I wish).

I first learned more about Ben and his amazing life while attending a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Seminar in 2011. Before this experience (which I will tell more stories of), I had very little understanding of the truly incredible life led by Benjamin Franklin.  I love this quote by him, because as a teacher, it is a great inspiration for us as we begin a new school year.

Involve your children and they will learn! Have a great year!!!

Thank you to my former student, Ava, who very kindly dropped this surprise package on my doorstep.  You are so thoughtful!!!  I can't wait to wear it!
