Earlier this week, I came across one of my old favorite books, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.  I love that story and the way the mouse continues his pursuit.  That mouse, I thought to myself, is exactly like the kids I work with every single day.  The endless questions, the desire to attack problems in multiple ways, the need for time to be creative, and the way it repeats.  Nope, my kids aren’t hungry for cookies, although they’d be thrilled to have a treat!  They are hungry for CHALLENGE.  It is our job to feed them. 🙂
