ABSTRACT
Ms. Martin’s kindergarten class has some of the brightest, happiest, and most optimistic kids you will ever meet. Students in her class are glad to be in school, proud of their accomplishments, certain that they will succeed at whatever the school has to offer. Every one of them is a natural scientist, a storyteller, a creative thinker, a curious seeker of knowledge. Ms. Martin’s class could be anywhere, in suburb or ghetto, small town or barrio, it does not matter. Kindergartners everywhere are just as bright, enthusiastic, and confident as her kids are.
