Knitted socks*
Yes, they are just socks...BUT
*they were made by an 11-year-old, on needles they also made.
Talk about sense of accomplishment!
😊🎉
Exactly the types of challenges they need as they begin to enter adolescence...not something they simply need to learn for a test and then forget, and not something that only requires their intellect... The challenge is creation, perseverance, will, attention, focus, manual dexterity, and the result is something they get to keep, that prompts a reflection of all they are capable of. Yes, in just socks.

"Creativity is not just for artists. Subjects like design and technology, music, art and drama are vitally important for children to develop imagination and resourcefulness, resilience, problem-solving, team-working and technical skills," says Mr Hunt.
"These are the skills which will enable young people to navigate the changing workplace of the future and stay ahead of the robots, not exam grades."

Surgery students 'losing dexterity to sew'
bbc.com
A surgery professor expresses fears over the consequences of a generation more adept at using screens.Our 6/7th grade was back with our friends at @prospectridingcenter this week! They spent the morning performing horse care, riding, as well as refreshing the basics of horse communication...honoring the horses cues, along with helping them to feel secure...this is such a confidence builder! Such a special, thoughtful, place for both therapeutic and recreational riding. Passing this culture of reverence for these beings is an incredible gift to our students!💕🐎
