Text Box: more words of wisdom Erma Bombeck Fred Rogers Captain Kangaroo Pearl Buck Text Box: “A person with a Ph.D. could spend a lifetime studying one square metre of the forest floor and the square metre right next to it could be completely different. ... So how much do we know of life's diversity? OF the vast range of life-forms on this planet, scientists have identified perhaps 1.4 million species. That includes about 750,000 insect, 250,000 plants, and 47,000 vertebrates. The rest are invertebrates and micro-organisms. Of the vertebrates, 4,300 are mammals, 9,000 birds, 4,000 reptiles, 3,500 amphibians, and the rest are fishes. That gives you an idea of the spectrum of life-forms on Earth.” David Suzuki Text Box: “No two human beings think, perceive, process and organize information from the world around us in precisely the same way.  We are unique, and one of the challenges of your uniqueness is to discover how to learn, relate and succeed in a way that's best suited to you.” Jim Fay “If you want your children to improve, let them overhear the nice things you say about them to others.” Haim Ginott “Parents often talk about the younger generation as if they didn't have anything to do with it.”Haim Ginott “I have come to a frightening conclusion. I am the decisive element in the classroom. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher I possess tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated, and a child humanized or de-humanized.” Haim Ginott, Between Parent and Child “A child is a person who is going to carry on what you have started. He is going to sit where you are sitting, and when you are gone attend to those things which you think are important. You may adopt all the policies you please, but how they are carried out depends on him. He will assume control of your cities, states, and nations. He is going to move in and take over your churches, schools, universities and corporations . the fate of humanity is in his hands.” Abraham Lincoln “Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.” Dr. Spock
