It may seem a strange thing to do when you live in the country, but today we took our kids into nature – in the city.

Although we have access to good nature right where we live, one of the advantages that city dwellers have – or let’s say town dwellers – is that they get given the equivalent of several hundred thousand dollars to create the ideal environment for their children to play in.

It's Saturday today, a big day.  We are driving to a high school for equine studies, it is their open day today. My daughter asked me: "Is it normal that I have a knot in my tummy?" I say: "Yes, that is perfectly normal. We are going to see a school we are you have never been before and where you would like to study for four years, this is big. So it is perfectly normal to feel a bit nervous."

       The first two days were the most intense collaboration, critical analysis of practices, envisions, planning, future design discussions, brainstorming work I have ever done. Yes, other workshops have this type of work, but New Trails Learning Systems is different. Even the personal stories of our trainers and leaders are emotionally laden, incredibly powerful and humbling, and still, these folks give and give and give!

Giovanni showing is artwork

Giovanni has autism and is considered for lack of better terms ‘low functioning’. You might have read some of his earlier success stories in the blog, and his journey continues. By following his interests and opening up to the way he learns- by moving, talking to himself, etc. Giovanni unlocked a potential that even his paraprofessional, who knows him for a couple years now, did not expect.

You Never Know Which Key Opens the Wardrobe to Narnia

Literacy Success Story Follow Up     After Giovanni’s success story during a previous literacy lesson (see blog "Literacy Success Stroy), I continued to use the same strategy. I had him join a group, had him process the way he needed to- even talking to himself, but he was physically close enough to listen, and he even read parts out loud fluently when I pointed to the words for him.

5th grade Math - US school - 25 Sept. 2017 

 “Duck Duck Goose” multiplication Warm up: 100% inclusion and engagement. Preparedness for the math lesson was done in a fun way while allowing the brain to get oxygen and the body to produce oxytocin for better learning readiness. Students commented: “This lesson was so much fun”, “I am getting better in math”, “I think I am getting it now”.
