Priorities

Yesterday, as I dashed to my office to get a roll of painter's tape, I had to walk around our 2 oldest classes of youth who were all on the sidewalk looking at a huge eagle sitting on the very tip top of a fir tree. 2 entire classes had been completely disrupted over an eagle sitting, and were quietly gazing upward. I was so glad the teachers had their priorities in order. No matter what else the children learned yesterday, they learned that seeing an eagle is worth dropping everything, calling all within earshot, and being quiet for.
