Nov 16th – Green Eggs and Ham
Nov 16th – Green Eggs and Ham
Holistic Education seeks to bring the experience of learning back into full fruition in the same way that perma-culture seeks to regenerate soils depleted by monocultivation. This past Sunday was indeed one of those explosive moments of regenerative beauty!! Back in my village we call it EATING THE BOOKS YOU READ.
The previous week, I had prepped the kids for the goodness to come, by reading one of my Dr. Seuss favorites during our snack time: GREEN EGGS AND HAM. Upon popping the question, “Have you ever had green eggs and ham?” It became apparent what our next lesson would be all about!
Key to Holistic Education is connecting with the inner free spirit of children and key to this connection is the setup. One must know how to spearhead the inner-fascination all children-at-heart have with the obscure, the weird, and the delirious! When it comes to learning, way too often this magic that true mentors hold, is written off as charlatanism and shenanigans. I count myself as truly blessed by all of you PLUS parents who have entrusted your kids to this alternative educational model.
