I believe that the best way for a child to learn is with their whole body. The more engaged they are, the more actively they will be thinking about the information they are using – and the deeper their thoughts will be. Children also need lots of life experience, for how can we ask them to be great writers and thinkers without great experiences to prompt it all? To this end, here are some of our learning adventures … sometimes messy … sometimes crazy … always fun.
