"... Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves ... Do not search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. The point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer." - Letters to a Young Artist, R. M. Rilke

Rooted in the promise and challenge of growth ...

these are letters from a young teacher.

P.S. Where did the Counting Jar come from?

It was brought to my attention - ahem! - that I did not give full credit where credit is due when recalling my Counting Jar introductory lesson. It was developed as part of a K-5 Math curriculum called Investigations at TERC, an education research and development organization in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
