The silverware sorter, the fact that education is something we do with kids not to them, the way so many kids asked about the bandaid on your shirt but no adults did. I've never worked with preschoolers - I tutor students in math from elementary school through adult - but was inspired to see you working with many of the same themes I contemplate daily (autonomy, creativity, motivation, self-direction...).

Both your ...Congratulations on surviving your move!<br />Both your post and Ms Debbie's made me smile. Oddly enough this kind of thing happens all the time in my own house. I'm busy doing something and the kids are playing. It might just be a question of 15-20 minutes and when I walk into the next room there is a lego tower taller than the kids, or a box transformed into sculpture or the furniture rearranged in a way I'd never thought of, or all of the stuffed animals gathered for a show. 'Who did this?' I'll ask, but the kids are already completely immersed in a new project.mumusokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700895696557893745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-31805072955203559632011-01-21T08:12:41.007-08:002011-01-21T08:12:41.007-08:00This post made me smile.

My brother and I were staying with her. It got to the point that I had to choose between being with my mom and being there to make sure " everything went well." Of course, I chose my mom and of course, they came. My husband " full time helper" and my substitute ( who only works as needed ) called and text basically saying " oh crap! But dont worry.." I told them it would be wonderful just to play with the kids and let it be a normal day. Inside I was shivering. Would they know how to do all the " little" things I do that look like nothing but have real meaning in an inspection ( such as the way we wash a table?) I had to just let it go and be with my mom. They passed !!! I am so proud of them When I came back through the door I did as you are doing and looked around. I saw little signs of learning and " happy" everywhere. I wondered how what they did in the music area. I wondered who made the 3d art that was displayed on the shelf . I too had all kinds of questions but one that always stays the same... this was the place I love and want to be the rest of my life and the coolest part is - I can be gone and I have equipped my teachers and my kids enough that they can go on without me when they need to.Ms Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02881158560938169986noreply@blogger.com
