hands on

for the young

learner

I could tell you about

this beautiful orange flower.

We could find its name together.

This picture might help to visually identify it...

but to touch its crepe paper petals

would leave you breathless

with wonder.

Just for fun

we took the girls to Ann Arbor

for the Thursday night special

"Five $ after Five"

As I perused
my pictures
I found 

a different story

Bernoulli

Archimedes

could be studied
 in books

Somehow 

I think they too

would appreciate

having their conclusions

tested and explored

"in the field"

rather than through words

alone

hands on learning
so important for the young learner

Hmmm...
I wonder.

My pictures
sing a new song.

Couldn't sign off without
sharing my favorite
spot...

the word wall

Oh...

how I want one in my home.

A place to share ideas.

A place to create.

A place to 

whisper...

in a hands on way.
