The way of the world has a unique manner in which it enters an elementary school and classroom. Children are sensitive to the affairs of society and culture. They are not oblivious to larger events that their parents and older siblings discuss. They will ask questions, debate and formulate exaggerations and opinions. Elementary school children will also begin to form a sense of temporal history in relation to who they are as individuals and how they fit into the grand scheme of culture and time. The notion of self-discovery is both an internal and external dynamic. It operates through an ongoing reciprocating paradigm that grows with maturity and the ability to inference meaning from external influences that are ultimately reconciled and given validity in the child’s mind. Children feel the spirit of the age and its relationship to them.
