The Seed

As a child I played with the seeds on my grandfather's farm.  Collecting them, stacking them, probably throwing some at my siblings.  This memory was forgotten until a year ago when I came across a pod of these seeds on a trail ride.  My childhood memory returned along with the sense of play and wonder only a child naturally has.

A seed.  A seed represents potential.  Potential for the future plant it is capable of becoming.  Under the right conditions it can achieve its goal of maturing and passing information on to future plants.  I have this potential, you have this potential.

I want to create an atmosphere in my classroom that allows students to envision and work towards their own potential.
