Busy, Busy, Busy! That's the life these days for adults as well as children. We as teachers are under pressure to perform, get students prepared for tests, etc. How to foster creativity? One answer, the author suggests is providing a literacy-rich environment. In our Title I classes, we can offer reading selections , both fiction and non-fiction, that show imagation and stimulate creative thinking. Reading can be an important part of disconnecting from the world, to build in wonder and take time to relax. (Important for us as adults too.)
