, we've had fun with learning by doing more art, learning by moving our bodies, being in nature, and most importantly, giving my kids freedom and time to learn.I immediately noticed that my second-grade son, who had turned into a reluctant reader , began grabbing books and taking them outside to read on a whim. He'd devour chapter books in one day. He also dove into baking — something he never had time for before. My kindergarten-aged daughter has turned into a little Picasso.
Overall, things feel much more relaxed in our home. Learning feels how it should, with students taking the lead. This freedom gives my kids time to be curious about things that matter to them.
