We took Liam down to town yesterday to get his passport. We are going to Ireland this summer! and this is the last time he’ll really be home before spring, so we wanted to get him set up while he’s here. Then of course we did some shopping and errand-running. I got my See’s chocolate– [...]
I liked Unbridled Learning’s description of these. Also about Pulses of Learning.
Unbridled Learning has extended the deadline for the Book Discussion Carnival to January 6th. Whew! We have to drive into town today to get a passport for my college student, so I’ll bring the book with me and get a start. I’m looking forward to it! The discussion will be on the book: And the [...]
I have to shut down my processing on this R-B Learning thing in order to be here for my family over Christmas, but I just wanted to point to Throwing Marshmallows: Fixing Right-Brained Learners? though if you traced Cindy’s pingback you would find it anyway and probably most readers of this blog are making the [...]

I already mentioned some of the traits of “Right Brained Learners” listed in the book “Right Brained Children in a Left Brained World”. From now on I’m going to use the term Visual-Spatial in preference to “Right Brained” because the latter term gives me such a weird mental image and it also bothers my sense [...]
I talked before about the Grab Bag idea which I liked but didn’t think would delight the kids unless I tweaked it a bit. Anyway, here’s the list I have so far — some of them are things for the kids to do, but others are for ME to do with the kids or on [...]
Steph at A Room of My Own shares thoughts about the book Upside -Down Brilliance as it relates to her own feisty three. Stephanie at Throwing Marshmallows has listed them here along with some of Cindy’s posts, so I don’t have to : ). I thought this was a great idea — applying what one [...]
I just realized that I hardly ever add anything to my lonely “Nature” category. Maybe that’s a hint that I should go outside more often.
