How useful are rote skills if your students don’t know how to apply them in everyday life? Here are some strategies that will help students learn to think independently.

Fall is well underway here in Michigan, and the beautiful fall colors can be seen for miles around.  It is such a wonderful sight to see children, young and old, out and about enjoying the wonderful scenery.  My young son has become increasingly aware of the seasons, and it has been amazing for me to watch him make discoveries about the changes in his world.  During this time of change, I continue to think about the mindfulness that is so important for every child.  Watching my son think, learn, and process information related to the changing seasons has brought me more joy than I could have ever imagined.
