Today we had a special assembly in our classroom. We ate lunch early and the toddler class joined the primary class to watch the inauguration live on the Internet (PBS). Since we rarely use a computer in the classroom and have never had a TV in the classroom this was a big deal, even before we turned it on. The children watched and waited eagerly to see Obama. When he walked on stage to take his oath of office he received a standing ovation from our class and cheers of joy were shouted by everyone. History and the future met in our classroom today. There is greatness in the spirit of each of these small individuals. It brings me much hope to see their passion, enthusiasm, sense of responsibility, and respect.
