I named this blog to reflect my belief in education. I believe a lot in the value of education and learning both for the kids and for all the adults. I'm famous for talking to my friends about things taht I have learned that sometimes, they have no particular interest in.
I have long enjoyed discussing with my parents friends not the challenges that our kids have but their successes. Not their great special achievements but just the simple things that they've learned. I think basic educational progress is fabulous.
I get particularly worked up when my kids learned the alphabet, when they learned new harder words, when they learned to read, and when they started to write and spell harder and more interesting words.
To help them along, I also have them site and play (work) on VocabularySpellingCity!
