This habit of mind is rather interesting because we can all interpret it

differently. My take into questioning everything around you is so important because young minds start to begin to have curiosity. I currently work with two years old and I am always answering questions like "why are we doing this", "why is the grass so tall", "why are we washing hands" all very simple questions to us but my two-year-olds just want to know "why" things are the way they are. This is why questions are so essential in a classroom setting. I hope to never turn down questions from my students because like Carl Sagan said that children feel discouraged when told "do not ask dumb questions " I do not believe in questions being too small or too big if I do not know the answer  I will find it and get back to the child. Being in a classroom setting we hold the power to give children problems so they can be able to resolve on their own or as a team. Posing problems and questioning come hand in hand when it comes to learning, kids just want to know everything and it is up to us to be able to meet their standards.
