Sometimes, I would give them choices of how they could show mastery (MLB drawing/writing, speech, project, etc.), or they could come up with something on their own. Turning learning into a family play where everyone writes, acts, makes costumes and props works well, too!Tan Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02415692317662462128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1065107413028024310.post-69629035905353294662010-08-13T10:19:06.091-05:002010-08-13T10:19:06.091-05:00There's some great ideas here.

Games that reinforce a concept are also a favorite of mine, since the kids pull out the games all through the year and not just when the specific topic is being taught. Drawing is especially helpful for my oldest daughter. Experiencing science is good for understanding - in nature, in the kitchen, or wherever, hands-on is the best. We also love the opportunities to go places like museums and history reenactments, then talking about what we experienced.sarah in the woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12781200255390580449noreply@blogger.com
