Lighthouse Literacy
“I am learning all the time. The tombstone will be my diploma.” Eartha Kitt (Santa Baby)Slide2
"We do not need to motivate children into learning by wheedling, bribing or bullying. We do not need to keep picking away at their minds to make sure they are learning. What we need to do, and all we need to do, is bring as much of the world as we can (to them); give children as much help and guidance as they ask for; listen respectfully when they feel like talking; and then get out of the way. We can trust them to do the rest."
