Made-Up?

Today at school one of the printing work sheets read"Dragons are a made-up animal." I could not help overhearing one of my students say to another, "Sometimes dragons are made-up."  Not for a second did they believe that dragons are not real, and that is what I love about teaching this age group.  They are willing to imagine and believe in anything.  It is truely inspiring to spend time with them. This year has been a true gift.
