Curiosity is MAGIC!
What is CURIOSITY? 🤖
We talk about curiosity as if the word were an object. However, the reality is, curiosity is a way of living, a choice within us.
We can choose to observe with wonder.
We can choose to engage with openness.
We can choose to live as scientists: inquire, explore, discover, repeat!
I am often asked, “How can I foster curiosity within my children and team-mates?” Living robotically is a thing of the past! With all of the consistent shifts and adjustments, we must make time to truly learn about who we are as individuals. The first step starts with getting curious about YOU!

WHAT LEARNERS ARE SAYING ABOUT DEED!
I can’t thank Ms. Dana enough for what she’s done for me the past few years. Starting at a young age, Ms. Dana started tutoring me when I was in Pre-k. The next year, I got accepted into PS 33, where I was in Ms. Dana’s class. In class, she pushed me out of my comfort zone, knowing that I would thrive there. I started learning and growing a lot more. Throughout my years at PS 33, Ms. Dana has helped me every step of the way, always pushing me to my full potential. Even when she left PS 33, she would help me with my writing skills. At the end of 5th grade, when I started looking and applying for middle schools, she helped me with my applications, showing me how I could grow as a writer, reader, and thinker. She helped me prepare for the ISEE tests in the matter of a few months. I wrote essays for schools, with her analyzing every detail that I wrote and helping me see what I could improve on. With her help, I got accepted into Horace Mann, a private school in the Bronx. Without Ms. Dana, I wouldn’t know where I would be right now. I am so thankful for her help and have learned a lot from her. ~Nara Brunink, 7th grade
