A Kindergarten teacher, noticing a group of students
mesmerized by a butterfly in Central Park,
shines a light on their curiosity
and incorporates it into a study of symmetry.
"How is a butterfly like the letter W? Or our faces?"
she asks. "Where else can we find symmetry in nature?"

the right thing.
