School Lessons: A Sense of Place
Did you ever read one of your kid's homework assignments and think of all the interesting adult things you could do with it? "Gee, I could do this and turn it into a story or my own personal project."
I found this piece titled, Developing a Sense of Place, written for 5th to 8th graders. Two thoughts came to mind. The first was what a great project to have your kid do! Save this stuff for them to read when they get older. It will help to give them roots, connection and identity. Secondly, what a great project for one's self to do. Even if we are fifty years old, it will give us roots, connection and identity when we look back upon it at age seventy-five.
