The Power of the Whole Child


I love this video…Teachers get the Kleenex ready; this is a real tear jerker. This video shows the power a child has when they are free to used their interests and passion to create. This type of learning just comes natural. As a teacher, I'm striving to teacher my children in this fashion. This is the future of teaching; allowing children to be themselves use their gifts and knowledge to create new and innovative ideas and ways to express themselves. We focus on "teaching" so much that we forget all the valuable lesson we have learned from just exploring the world around us. Play is such a critical part of learning it is a shame that it is not widely appreciated in the educational community. Please watch and become inspired and see how many academic domain or common core standards are visual through this documentary.
