Why is this sort of connecting the dots important? The brain forms new synapsis when ever we make connections. Even loose connections. I'll certainly post again on this when we start holding our "in depth studies" at home to continue our learning process ... But for today, we shared everything my older son knew about the Beautiful Taj Mahal, including HIS summer suggestion for us to go there. And we also know that the best way to retain what he learned is by "teaching others." it was a great moment for me to live this experience, and see my sons pride while sharing.
Make mistakes. Breathe, reflect, and Laugh.Out.Loud
