Wow this was an Amazing post @markwhittam! My children and I felt like we were there with you as we enjoyed these pictures! I always say the best learning is hands on! I believe they retain more when they are able to see, touch and taste rather than just reading a book. A good balance of all of these is an ideal way of learning in my opinion. You all are doing a Wonderful job with your children. Such a great foundation for them. Looking forward to more. Upped and Resteemed ;)
