Albert Einstein said, "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." In this blog I will write my thoughts for myself and others. I intend to look at teaching and learning from the viewpoint of doing the greatest things in the most minimalistic way. In other words, how can one do teaching that matters without all the fluff that interferes. Blog by Jim Hansen.

A Nice Evening at the Boys and Girls Club of Nashua
Last week I attended a function honoring local teachers at the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Nashua. One of my current students had nominated me for an award which I was honored to accept. I had a nice dinner with this student and his mom and older brother and sister. We watched staff members from the Club (including a former student of mine) dance with high school club members in a sort of "Dancing with the Stars" performance of dances they had been practicing. Then teachers were honored with their awards. It was a very nice evening. I even saw a student from my class last year recieve an award for excellence. It was gratifying to see him continue to do the right things to better himself. Unfortunately he left before I could congratulate him and since he is at a different school this year I would have very much liked to talk with him. I very much enjoyed this event put on by the Boys and Girls Club.
