Many times people consider physical safety of the building, a clean and orderly room, but they may not consider the learning environment of the mind. It made me wonder how I could impact the success of all my students by creating a safe and challenging environment for the mind simply by the words I choose. ________________________________ _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org Search the MOSAIC archives at http://snipurl.com/MosaicArchive
