Logic vs Imagination

I love this quote. It speaks to how I teach children and what I now know after 30-plus years of teaching. Thank you, Albert Einstein.

I first saw this on my friend Paulette Motzko’s wonderful blog, totallyinspiredmind.com.  She always has something uplifting to post.

About Jennie

I have been teaching preschool for over thirty-five years. This is my passion. I believe that children have a voice, and that is the catalyst to enhance or even change the learning experience. Emergent curriculum opens young minds. It's the little things that happen in the classroom that are most important and exciting. That's what I write about. I was a live guest on the Kelly Clarkson Show. I am highlighted in the seventh edition of Jim Trelease's million-copy bestselling book, "The Read-Aloud Handbook" because of my reading to children. My class has designed quilts that hang as permanent displays at the National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia, the Fisher House at the Boston VA Hospital, and the Massachusetts State House in Boston.

    The more I see from Einstein, the more I wonder at his intelligence and perception. One of the true geniuses of mankind.
    Best wishes, Pete.

  8. Great quotation! It immediately made me think of another one I like: “A wish is halfway to wherever you want to go.” –Maurice Sendak

    I love this quote. I think a bit of both is important. Einstein certainly used both – what a clever man! Thanks for sharing, Jennie.
