Making Connections

Kids learn by making connections to things they already know.  So you can imagine how I swelled with pride when a minute ago Peyton said, "Mom, when Grunny toots it sounds like a train is stopping."

I'm sitting with Peyton tonight doing her homework packet and she says, "You're really good at this. You should be a teacher."

Huh. Now there's an idea.
