We’ve been reading Jean Craighead George’s book,  My Side of the Mountain*(a childhood favorite of my own), which inspired my boys to build a lean-to from scrap lumber in the back yard.  What kid doesn’t love a good hideout?  And what parent doesn’t love a book that inspires kids to play like this?   *Affiliate link.  I only recommend things I truly believe you’ll love!

A Little Housekeeping:

If you’d like to follow me on Facebook, well then, I’d love to see you there!  Facebook can be a little wacky sometimes and seems to shuffle up your feed from time to time.  But I’ve heard that Facebook has decided to help pages (like mine) get back into your news feeds — you just have to know the steps!

If you hover over the “Liked” button on my page (this link will open in a separate window so you can refer back here), then click on “Settings”, there are now 3 options:

* ALL UPDATES
* MOST UPDATES
* ONLY IMPORTANT

You can choose whichever setting you would like, depending on how much you love seeing my posts!  If you want to make sure you don’t miss a thing, you can also click “Get Notifications” if you want to be notified every time I post!

One More Thing:  My friend, Mariah Bruehl of Playful Learning, has a great new elesson available!  Help your kids create a Writer’s Notebook.  Summer’s the perfect time to start recording all those amazing stories!

playful learningEnjoy your weekend!

I’m Amanda Morgan. Here’s what I’m about…

In early education, there is too much distance between what we know and what we do. I bridge the gaps that exist between academia, decision-makers, educators, and parents so that together, we can improve the quality of early education while also respecting and protecting the childhood experience.
