"I have no special talents, I am only passionately curious."

This quote sums up how I have become a life-long learner and I hope to translate this to my students. I've often been told that my passion for certain topics comes out in my teaching. My journey through life from grade school to where I am right now has been a very unpredictable road that could never have been planned. It will be very interesting to see where I am in another ten years!

The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.- Dorothy Parker
I love this because there is so much to learn about our world and everything around us. I think being curious and being a lifelong learner go hand in hand. Being curious gets you thinking about things and learning new things. We want to our students become lifelong learners so we need to give the opportunities to be curious in the classroom and encourage them to do so outside out the

"Curiosity is the fuel for discovery, inquiry, and learning." Terry Heick - I like curiosity being the center for exploration. Too often students, teachers, individual are told to follow the directions, stay on course, etc. We need to remember that we are individuals and it takes individuals to make a great society. Letting curiosity guide us we can develop independent thinking and make discoveries that can be life changing.

That student is taught the best who is told the least.  Robert Lee Moore
This spoke to me because I think we so often want to make learning quick and easy, but when we tell instead of help students search for answers, we take away the most important steps in learning.

This quote spoke to me because I hear "This is boring!" and "I'm bored!" too often in my classroom and home. When I think back to my growing-up years, I don't remember being bored very often. As I consider the reasons why, I feel it is because I was naturally a curious person.  I would often satisfy my curiosity with reading, asking questions or actually trying things out. To this day, I still feel I am a curious person and am rarely bored. I should hang this saying in my classroom and home to find out who is curious enough to comment or ask about it.

I loved the quote "Curiosity is the fuel for discovery, inquiry, and learning". I find when I want to know about something I'm more encouraged to dig in and find out everything I can. I believe our students are driven by curiosity as well. Without curiosity we lose the drive to learn.

My favourite is clearly Socrates': "Wisdom begins with wonder". Sadly we live in a society that limits curiosity to a certain extend and promotes dogma instead of wonder as a way to understand the complexity of life. It may be dangerous for the establishment but also wise to question everything around us. Let's try to move forward!

"I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious."
This quote speaks to me the most because I feel this relates to why people become teachers. I think most teachers enjoy learning, which is why they became a teacher. We should remember this when we teach, and we should enjoy our lessons as much as our students.

"Curiosity is the fuel for discovery, inquiry and learning."
Terry Heick
This quote is very today! No matter our curiosity we love to encounter or discover new things. Ask questions and learn new things daily. This is not only true for students but adults too. A perfect example is social media today. We love to discover or learn new things about other people/things daily. Our curiosity still leads us to discovery, inquiry and learning!

"Wisdom begins with wonder."

This is so true! There are many intelligent people in the world who are not wise.

When our students have the opportunity to wonder about something, they develop problem solving skills that build wisdom. Experience in solving problems, or at least analyzing problems will serve them well throughout their entire lives.

The quote I like the best is "The Cure for Boredom is Curiosity.  There is no Cure for Curiosity" by Dorthy Parker.
I like this quote because it reminds me that I need to help my students find their natural curiosity. Like we saw in the video with the baby exploring his world, babies are born curious about their environment and somewhere along the way many of them lose that curiosity. Part of that loss I think is the world of immediate gratification we live in where all a student has to do to avoid boredom is look at a screen. There seems to no longer be an opportunity for them to just sit and think. That is where curiosity and wonder will be, not on a screen.

When kids start to wonder they want to learn by Rick Wormeli
I got a new student a few weeks ago. Being new has been hard for him and he was acting out. I started a simple KWL chart to do a simple inquiry lesson on Pets, He offered many suggestions of pets he wanted to learn about. We have learned about some of his specific suggestions. Which were snakes, and if alligators would make good pets are not, I belive there were a few more. Ever sense I did this small thing he has been tuned in. He even checked out a library book about snakes. He loves that book. His behave is not perfect but it has improved-- I will take improvment.

I love this quote because I want to be the teacher that students want to have as their teacher because other students have told them that my class is engaging and fun as in not boring full of worksheets. I also want to inspire students to want to explore and learn not just be in my class because they have to.

"The cure for boredom is curiosity.  There is no cure for curiosity."  Dorothy Parker
I actually liked the second part of this quote the best. We have all come across something we are curious about, and when that curiosity is satisfied, our minds will move on to a new curiosity. Thus, "no cure." For example, when I travel to some new geographical location, my curiosity about that place is placated and I begin to think about the next place I want to go!

"The student that is taught the best is told the least."
-Robert Lee Moore
When my students learn something by experiencing it or researching it, they retain the information much longer than if I were to tell them the same thing.

As a teacher, my responsibility is to engage students and foster learning in my classroom. Providing students with opportunities to explore, ask questions, and find relevance in content will hopefully elicit curiosity, furthering their understanding and learning.  I am working on it.

"Curiosity is the fuel for discovery, inquiry, and learning"
-Terry Heick
Fuel is an energy source which creates heat and power. I like the analogy of curiosity being an energy source for learning.  It turns us on and keeps us moving.

My favorite quote was "The cure for boredom is curiosity.  There is no cure for curiosity."                           --Dorothy Parker
This quote stood out for me because imagination leads to curiosity, curiosity leads to questions and questions lead to answers, not boredom!
A young child gets enjoyment out of life from exploring anything and everything.  Wouldn't we be a whole lot better (not bored) if we maintained the same wonder and curiosity as a young child at the world around us?

"Wisdom begins with wonder."-Socrates
I love this quote because I believe there is a difference between wisdom and being smart. If I could choose between the two traits, I would choose to be wise over being smart. To me being wise requires some action. When people seek to answer questions and satisfy their wonders they develop wisdom.

"I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious." --Albert Einstein

This quote is fitting for me because I have quite a zest for life. This zest is a constant curiosity to explore unknown places in my mind and environment. This allows for me to bring curiosity, naturally, into my class lessons.

My favorite quote was "When teachers create curiosity in their classroom kids start to wonder...When kids start to wonder they want to learn."  I chose this quote because I think it is so true.  I have seen it first hand.  When kids wonder and have questions they are involved and engaged. It is just like every good lesson should have an attention grabber for student motivation.

My favorite quote was "wisdom begins with wonder."  I liked this quote because so often we group the words smart and wise together. Teachers can teach using a student centered model and still produce smart students. However, I believe using a student centered, inquiry based model, we will achieve not only smart, but also WISE students.
