As generalists we have an obligation to open all areas of the world to our students. Music, art, science, math, language are all critical to developing a true love of learning and a fascination with our world. Finding a student's area of interest can propel them into areas of the curriculum which may be lagging behind. For example, in writing the child must have something to say before he or she can write. Varied experiences feed the brain with ideas and excitement. The engine won't run without fuel!
This is an chance to fuel our own engines. Enjoy!
