sparking contemplation

[Diane Chen <DianeRChen@AOL.COM>]

This morning on NPR they discussed "laziness" and contemplation. Growing up
where I did, there was no individualization of education so I spent many hours
contemplating ancient pictures on the walls, how clocks work and various
objects out the window. I would like to hang various interesting items for my
students to contemplate in the library. Suggestions? I have been thinking bicycle
tire, kite, weird shapes of metals, Japanese fans, sparkly things. I'd like to
have something that opens a child's mind to inquiry.
