In a world constantly changing, fostering curiosit In a world constantly changing, fostering curiosity and creativity in our children is more important than ever. Education is not just about passing on knowledge, but about sparking innovation and preserving the sense of wonder that makes learning a lifelong adventure. Much like a game of chess, the process of learning challenges young minds to think critically, plan ahead, and embrace new strategies. Every move is a chance to explore new possibilities and solutions. Let's encourage our children to ask questions, explore new ideas, and never lose sight of the magic that comes with discovery. Together, we can help them build not just knowledge, but a love for learning that will last a lifetime. And when it all comes together... checkmate. 🎓♟️

In the words of Martin Luther King Jr. . . "The fu In the words of Martin Luther King Jr. . . "The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education." If it is hardly bookwork that establishes a meaningful education . . . If being truly well-educated is closely linked with being well-lived . . . Surely children should spend far less time confined between classroom walls and released to think, create, play, and explore out in the real world. #educationreimagined

"Why memorize formulas for things you’ll never u "Why memorize formulas for things you’ll never use when you could be learning how to file taxes or cook dinner? 🤔 Education should be less ‘what’s the Pythagorean theorem?’ and more ‘how do I survive adulthood?’ (Video of WonderHere students taking their conservation unit study out of the classroom and into the real world, visiting our local @lakelandgov water treatment plant. Side note- the gentlemen leading this trip and explaining big ideas to 6 year olds were AMAZING!) #RealWorldReady #LifeSkillsMatter #TeachForLife"
Leaving the classroom does not mean walking away f Leaving the classroom does not mean walking away from your calling to teach students. Sometimes the only real way to make a difference ON a system is OUTSIDE of it. Rather than waiting for the system to catch up with the innovation happening around the world, knowing that any real change requires a literal act of Congress, you can create your own change by . . . 1. Pitching to publish personal articles of your real experiences inside the classroom. 2. Hosting listening and learning sessions at a local coffee shop for teachers dreaming of change. 3. Start your own school to be the proof that learning doesn't have to be this way and to be the resource for families in your area to have better options. WonderHere can show you how!

We value reading for enjoyment and information ove We value reading for enjoyment and information over reading to prove to an adult that you can. We also believe "better late than early" as the general rule of thumb for when to begin teaching children to read. We love our friends in Finland (also known as the most literate country in the world) and their golden rule for delaying reading instruction until age 7 when the child is developmentally ready for this skill. What difference does it make as long as the child is reading? A HUGE difference. Our relationship with reading early on carves out for us how we will always experience text and how we view ourselves as readers as adults. 21% of American adults are illiterate. That staggering statistic in this century and in this country should not be. If you were told at an early age that you had to sit down quietly and decode a text that seemed foreign to you while your little body was telling you to move, play, explore . . . do literally anything other than this thing now . . . How would you develop as a reader? You would always fight it. And that first experience becomes the norm. American classrooms graduate students who grew up believing reading was boring, hard, and not for them year after year. Same practices yielding the same results. We did this. As a society we pushed our young children too hard in one direction too soon. At WonderHere, the push stops here. And we graduate lovers of reading every year. 📚
Why projects over assignments? Leading with the Why projects over assignments? Leading with the child's idea validates that they have valuable things to contribute to their own education, creates space for them to explore their learning capacity, and they then have a built in buy-in to their own lesson because you have stepped back and let them into the driving seat. We won't always be there to tsk and task .... letting them think as well as learn with you as the mentor (side-by-side rather than on some pedestal) empowers them to keep doing that long after and on their own.
