One of my daughters is a ballerina. I also studied ballet when I was young. I can tell you that as a former dancer, you remember the dance not just with your mind, but with your feet. The same is true when you knit. You don't just remember the stitches arbitrarily, your hands remember how it feels. Intrinsicly I know how it feels to do the stitches correctly. Usually, it just feels wrong when you make a mistake.
With schoolwork, we often make the fatal mistake of forgetting the most basic way of learning. If you experience it, you will know it. That is why I encourage you to get out there with your kids and experience nature, a museum, or a historical site. You will be amazed at all the wonderful things you will learn together.
Our First Field Trip
It was a rainy day, and my youngest was getting quite antsy. Since her big sister had rehearsals all day, I decided to take her to the Upstate Children's Museum. For hours she was entertained with her own sense of discovery. Even the youngest tykes, have an inexhaustible list of things to play with and explore. Best of all, it was just about the same cost as a movie.
