Anyone else feel like they have superpowers post-vaccination? 😉
WTM replied to Not_a_Number's topic in The Chat Board
I’m planning to do the same! We will still mask in public and minimize trips to public spaces, but I will get on a plane and fly to see my parents -
You could check out Critical Thinking Company’s Balance Benders or Balance Math and More?

What does your science and history look like?
WTM replied to LauraClark's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
Science: We use BFSU, discussion style. We discuss the concepts and take rabbit trails to watch related YouTube videos or read related books and articles. I do not give any tests. I require a lot of narrative summaries and explanations from the kids during our discussions, in order to check comprehension. History: One child (will be 6th) will finish SOTW4 next year. We schedule history 2/ week. This child reads and outlines half the chapter one day, reads and write a written narration of the other half of the chapter on the other day. The written narration goes into a timeline. -

Spin off - 'fixing' public education
WTM replied to bookbard's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Oh wait, it might be in a different book that he wrote, Less Than Words Can Say - I don’t remember which one off they top of my head. They are both very entertaining reads. You can get a taste for his style here: https://sourcetext.com/writing-against-your-life/ Tagging @Not_a_Numberbecause I think you might find his writings interesting food for thought. -

WTM replied to bookbard's topic in General Education Discussion Board
This reminds me of Richard Mitchell’s Graves of Academe and his scathing criticism of teacher training programs... I thought he was being hyperbolic but maybe not.
