Today I led a fantastic cave discovery lesson. We turned the lights off and the "cave sound effects" up. Kids had flashlights which they used to "find" pictures of artifacts taped onto the walls. For each artifact, they had to determine what it was and why the artists made/painted it. (The kids had some awesome hypothesis, my favorite being that the Lascaux hand prints were made as a memorial to a loved one.) Then they read their textbooks (by flashlight) to see what social scientists think about those artifacts.
It is so nice to finally be done with the training and dive into the curriculum. Learning is fun. Talking about learning is not fun.
