Feisty is a great word and conjures images that reflect its phonemic resonance. Feisty kids are those with the twinkle in their eye, the lopsided grin, and the ability to drive you crazy even as they capture your heart. Feisty kids in the classroom try our patience, challenge our resolve, and teach us so much about ourselves. Feisty is what we all should be—not accepting the status quo, questioning everything, pushing the limits, and causing discontent.
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.
