The past week was action packed with the daily academic lessons but also plenty of independent, partner and small group work. Mixed in with all of the formal academics were a variety of fun experiences like the Spring Sing, field trip to a nature museum and a bus evacuation drill. At times some of the best learning experiences are never planned, instead they spontaneously evolve from a pattern of learning steps or interpersonal interactions gone awry. However problems present themselves, there's always a chance to analyze and problem solve. It's amazing what six and seven year old minds can think up when the right questions are asked. Anyway, after a week full of [mostly] wonderful new experiences, here is a photo slideshow highlighting our trip to the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum in Chicago. Enjoy!
