My memory is when my brother and I used the swing set to create a mud…

It's going to be another great year at Schoolmates. The new Explorers arrived in the rain on Wednesday, September 6. Everyone had raincoats and asked, "Are we going to hike today?" A little rain wasn't going to stop these enthusiastic children.

It took two days of asking and bargaining, but I got Aurora and Stephen to take a hike with me. Actually, for months I have "led by example." I walk or hike whenever possible.

After that it's bargain,…

Even when August was fairly new, signs of autumn were starting to appear. I have always thought of summer as the months of July and August—two months of the year boxed off with hot summer weather for everyone to enjoy. But this year, I began to notice signs of summer fading and autumn approaching in early August.

To engage others we must provide experiences of interaction led by curiosity, imagination, cooperation and reflexivity.
To engage we must provide that space in which all this naturally occurs, a space that personifies our biologically longing to learn.
This is the symbiotic experience which should be…
