This week, preparing for student led conferences and the Christmas concert has been very busy. During this busy time one of my students asked if he could show the class how to make a paper airplane. His father had showed him and now he wanted to share it with his classmates. There was so much to finish and so much to do and I was about to say not today when I stopped myself. This was important to him so we could make the time. I asked him what supplies he needed and he said just paper and the document camera. He had seen me use the document camera many times to teach math and wanted to use it to teach his peers how to make a paper airplane. The students were engaged watching and learning from him. It was a great moment and it reminded me to take the time and to listen to my students.
