The wonderful experience I had with my Colorado grands in the summer of 2012 is too long for one article, so I am breaking it into two parts.

When we had this adventure, Ashley was eight, Lizzy was six, and their little brother, Parker, was three. I asked Lizzy and Ashley if they wanted to help me put some family mementoes into my hutch. It was fun work and led the girls on our chemistry adventure because of something this job sparked in them.

This was such a fun experience, I know you will enjoy hearing about it and possibly doing something similar with your children or grands. They will learn a lot and you will make a marvelous memory.

Learning by doing is a powerful way to teach children. When they experience something new or exciting, it’s an effective way to absorb information and to learn.

Join me as I share numerous experiences I have had, and that my friend, Joy, has had, as we have helped children experience the power of immersive learning. It will assist you to give your children more powerful learning expereiences.

Sometimes something happens that dictates what you introduce to your children or grandchildren. Don and I sat on the balcony to enjoy the fall sunshine one afternoon. Right there on the deck was a perfectly preserved dragonfly. These happen to be my FAVORITE insect, next to the Cat Spider, which isn’t an insect. LOL A few days later, while I was walking to the car, there on the sidewalk, in plain sight, was a magnificent and dead katydid. Eureka, what an amazing find!!! You don’t see them often. I planned on introducing my grands to these two fascinating insects.

Join me as I share the fun experience we had and discover the outcome fourteen years later. : )
