"It goes without saying that a child is impacted creatively in Odyssey.
They learn to ask the questions not asked by others. When you take the word 'no' out of the equation and instead say, “I didn’t say you couldn’t,' it unlocks a part of the brain begging to be heard." — Lindsay Elliott, third-grade teacher at Sweetwater Episcopal Academy in Longwood, from her must-read Odyssey of the Mind: Creativity in the Classroom blog post |
