It was the beginning of 
the school year a few years ago and I had a little boy in my class who came from a non-English speaking home. He was very quiet and shy. I wasn’t sure how much he understood during the school day and I was especially concerned that he just stood by himself at break time and did not play. If I tried to talk to him, he would turn away and tightly shut his eyes to hide from me.
After a day or two of this, I decided to seek the help of one of my outgoing and friendly little girls. I called her over and she ran to me, ready to help.
I immediately began a long speech about what I needed from her. I asked her if she would try to get him to play, and I started talking quickly about all these suggestions on how she could start communicating with him. I explained she could do this, she could do that, she could try this idea, she could try that idea. She touched my arm to stop my talking and looked up at me in that wise and special way that only a six-year-old can, and said, “Don’t worry. I speak kid.” And she ran off.
I stood there all alone, silently watching her. It took less than a minute for the two new friends to run off, hand in hand, happily joining a game of tag(捉人游戏) taking place all over the gym.
I often think of that small moment, about what I learned and how important it is for all teachers to speak kid—big kid, little kid and middle kid. I knew my focus must be on teaching students how to think, how to approach problems, and how to figure out solutions and never take the opportunity away. We must be ready to learn from our students because those “teachable moments” during the school days are for us, the teachers, as well as our kids.

Robby was 11 years old when his mother dropped him off for his first piano lesson. I 36 that students begin at an earlier age, which I explained to Robby, but Robby said that it had been his mother’s 37 to hear him play the piano. So I took him as a student.
Hard 38 Robby tried, he lacked the basic sense of music. However, he persisted, and at the end of each weekly 39 , he always said, “My mom’s going to hear me play some day.” But it seemed 40 . He just did not have any gift for music.

He played so 51 that everyone 52 to applaud him. In tears I ran up on 53 . “Oh, Robby! How did you do it?”
“Well, Miss Hondorf ... I kept on 54 at home. Remember I told you my mom was sick? Well, _55 she had cancer and passed away this morning. And well ... she was born deaf, so tonight was the first time she ever heard me play ...”
