I'm always on the lookout for ways to teach by doing. The problem I run into is parents who want evidence that the child is plowing through "The Book." (They treat it like a god.) For example, I get comments like this from parents,"Why are the 5th graders only on page 220 in their math books when the 4th graders are on page 240? Why is my child behind?" It's always a struggle between doing hands on and The Book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6489063201658597291.post-75825629969011565542009-03-06T07:44:00.000-08:002009-03-06T07:44:00.000-08:00Randi-- this is wonderful news.

It has helped us so much. I am also hoping it will help me be a better teacher as I look for clues of "itching." <BR/><BR/>P.S.

He just learns best actually DOING, not just sitting and reading about it or being told about it. It sounds like you've got a smart kid on your hands. Congrats on helping him realize that and tap into his potential, not just play the 'I'm just not smart' card. That's the card my wife played and I played the 'I'm just lazy' card. In the end, it wasn't that I was lazy, it was just that I was bored out of my mind!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing. EricAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
