Lifetime Love of Learning

This group board is a place to share educational ideas & discuss ways to keep the light in our childs' eyes. "Together let’s stoke the flame in your child's eyes by providing hands on, self paced, collaborative, challenging, enjoyable learning. Let’s encourage divergent thinking, instead of convergent thinking; innovation instead of standardization. Give your children a lifetime love of learning." {Trevor Eissler} Together Let’s Lasso the Moon. www.letslassothemoon.com
