My students are eager, excited, and love to learn. A lot of them do not have books at home. They do not have a computer at home. A lot of them do not have parents at home, as they work two and three jobs trying to make ends meet. My second graders have innocent curious minds and are always asking what does this mean? What does that mean? How wonderful would it be for them to be able to grab a dictionary from my book shelf and look up the information themselves to find the answer? This is what makes kids eager to learn, and independent and successful learners.
