Wednesday Word: Dance

Dance is the hidden language of the soul. —Martha Graham

Would you describe yourself as a good dancer? Each day you dance the dance of attunement with the children in your care. You have so carefully learned each signal, cue, and gesture. Together you and the children perform tangos, waltzes, and simple dance steps throughout the day. Partners in the dance talk with their eyes, with simple touches, and with gentle guidance. Today, dance as if no one is watching, and follow the lead of the children.

 

In loving memory of Gryphon House author Leanne Grace, MEd, we are sharing pieces of her inspirational writing every Wednesday. Leanne was the director of professional development at Hildebrandt Learning Centers and a lifelong advocate for early childhood education.  She inspired the early childhood community to prepare children as lifelong learners with her ability to find the extraordinary in the ordinary. One person can make a difference, and Leanne did just that. She will be sorely missed.
