Wow, what a fantastic website. Being a teacher myself, it is excellent to see stuff like this on the web for other mums, dads and families to see and hopefully use. I look forward to watching this site grow.
“Facts are relatively easy to learn, understandings are priceless” I agree completely. Kids learn so much more effectively when they are given the chance to develop the understandings – the facts follow when the child is ready to receive them, but the understandings set them up to apply those learnings in other areas as well.
Thanks Donnah!
Annie, facts will always be there in books, or I suppose somewhere on the internet 🙂 In fact one of the descriptions I love is that learning facts is just “butterfly collecting!” You’re right, understandings are what can be transferred.
forget abt GDUNH!!… i think i can be here for a while 🙂 Good job sharing these things. As a SAHM and previously working in life science… i sometimes got stuck in the slo-mo of SAHM pace and forget to be creative… thanks. This will help me find things for my 2yr old to do! 🙂
