More to life in the classroom than standardized "test prep"....

our first "discover with me" field trip!  a couple of mommies and i met up at Discovery Green Park on tuesday, april 13th, in downtown Houston to discover a play - Alice in Wonderland!  we also celebrated the park's second year with a slice of chocolate and vanilla birthday cake! 
as i sat and watched my toddlers watch the play, i could not help but wonder what an impact this would be to the children who "must be prepped" for upcoming standardized tests....  i was imagining if i was the teacher...  i'd rather bring my students to watch the play and plug in the teaching objectives that would of been covered in any test.  a play, with characters, plot, setting, problem, etc...  what a way to get children into literature, reading, writing...

my mind began to race and think of a plan (as if i were a teacher)... how would i get my students to this play...

    i'm a mommy, former educator and school administrator.  a lifelong learner - i'm constantly looking for ways to teach my baby girls in an informal way, using their immediate surroundings.  this is what i'll call "discover, explore, & play to learn!"
