Good Afternoon!

This simple and short blog condensed such a huge topic into a few paragraphs. The concept of learning is intense and people have varying ideas on how children should be ‘taught’. Teacher Tom used these words to describe his view:

“Learning is the most natural thing in the world. It’s an irrepressible part of being alive. From the moment we come into the world, and even before, the human animal takes in sensations and converts them into thoughts, ideas, theories, and understanding.”

“And when their irrepressible urge to become honestly educated emerges, we beat it back, telling them to sit down, to be quiet, and to focus on material that is as meaningless to the child as motes.”

“Our responsibility is to provide children food, clothing, shelter, and love, then to trust children to direct their own learning. This is the most natural thing in the world.”

We had our fair share of fine motor activities that consumed our morning with a little sprinkle of a movement and dance time during our Facebook Live session!

As the rain fell outside all morning, children became intensely involved in their activities with their peers. It was quite the calm morning Red heart.
