In the forward, Doug Lemov points out the need to master coordination and subordination through explicit instruction. I totally agree!

Snap # 3

"I found Rome built of clay: I leave it to you in marble."- (Everitt xxxvi).

I have heard this quote from Augustus Caesar before and it is actually in a document I give to my students. However, Anthony Everitt explains that "He was referring not simply to his redevelopment of the city, but also to the strength of the empire" (Everitt xxxvi). I always assumed the term referred only to his building projects. However, this sentence is more powerful in that Rome was in a tumultuous time of civil wars and that Augustus put Rome in a stable place.

Children only learn how not to get hurt when they take risks by different forms of play. Parents are often too protective and don't let their kids get hurt thus harming them socially. They don't know how to deal with getting hurt at school because their parents don't let them take risks. When they do get hurt at school its like the world is ending because they can't deal with those emotions in a normal rational way.

Lesson / Take Away - Disco Ball

I loved the analogy in the very beginning (the intro) of young children being like disco balls.  They slowly spin and reflect what they see and hear around them.  They assemble all the pieces, make meaning and then use them to help form their own identity.  I think about this not just in young adults, but right from birth.
