Zilpha Keatley Snyder quotes about
appreciation children elementary experience gifts given human nine occurred specific teaching
Writing for children hadn't occurred to me when I was younger, but nine years of teaching in the upper elementary grades had given me a deep appreciation of the gifts and graces that are specific to individuals with 10 or 11 years of experience as human beings.
appreciation deep early elementary eleven entirely experience freedom gifts given grades human magical reach specific teaching ten time
Teaching in the upper elementary grades had given me a deep appreciation of the gifts and graces that are specific to individuals with ten or eleven years of experience as human beings. It is, I think, a magical time - when so much has been learned, but not yet enough to entirely extinguish the magical reach and freedom of early childhood.
