Blend reading, writing, spelling, math, science, social studies, and health very carefully, and thoroughly every day. Add honesty, friendship, respect, and concern for each other. Daily add a bunch of love and enthusiasm along with a scoop of understanding and a dash of discipline. Sift in P.E., Music, Art, Library and Computers to give it a little spicy flavor. Carefully blend in some after school clubs. Mix thoroughly and check to see if all ingredients are blending and being learned. Bake in a third grade classroom everyday. Watch them grow and learn daily adding more of each ingredients as needed. When they are done and the year is through - turn them out into the world with knowledge, love, respect, and self-esteem!
