“For a child there is no division between playing and learning; between the things he or she does ‘just for fun’ and things that are ‘educational.’ The child learns while living and any part of living that is enjoyable is also play.” ~ Penelope Leach

For me and my homeschool, learning through play is important. Not sitting inside under fake lights all day is important to me. Being able to get read sunlight and touch our feet to the earth, is important to me.

You know what’s not important to me?

-grades

-waking up at the crack of dawn to be stuck in a room for 7.5 hours.

-standardized testing

-government education
