“You really can change the world if you care enough”.
From: Marian Wright Edelman
“When I fight about what is going on in the neighborhood, or when I fight about what is happening to other people’s children, I’m doing that because I want to leave a community and a world that is better than the one I found”.

Marian Wright Edelman
"...By contrast, in the classrooms where play was on the back burner, teachers struggled with a variety of problems, including classroom management and children’s lack of interest in reading and writing. These results confirm our belief that thoughtfully supported play is essential for young children’s learning and development.”

Dr. Elena Bodrova
I love the quote,"You really can change the world if you care enough”, by Marian Wright Edelman. Some people feel like their little small act won't change anything but you never know. If you touch one person you are making a change. Rosa Parks didn't realize she was making such a major change but she did. If we care enough to do one small gesture a change can occur.
ReplyDeleteGreat quotes Rachael! I especially enjoyed the quote from Raymond Hernandez...as teachers/educators we are saving the world one student at a time which is just as important as if we were saving the whole world at one time :)
ReplyDeleteMarian Wright Edelman's quote " You can really change the world if you care enough," from the interest fellow classmates that I've been introduced to I guess we care a lot about world. I feel change coming from all of us. Great Selection!
