It;s National Play outside Day!

Let children explore themselves outside. Teachers assign daily homework with an outside component. Set up your sundial outside with the 12 pointing north. Try jump roping 10 times or more. Come in with your record of how many times you could jump in a row. Think of an assignment for the class to do outside. I went to an MIT social where a gentleman spoke about efficiency in businesses started by Demming. a leader in talking about ways to get quality and still be efficient. He was instrumental in getting Toyota to become the world's greatest car maker beginning in the 50s. What I learned today: There are nine frogs indigenous to New Hampshire. The peeper differs from the tree frog because it has an x on its back. There is a leaopard and jaguar frogs with spots. Leopards have square spots. Questing is a fun way to explore: SEE valleyquest.org, Letterboxing.org or orienteering or using a GPS in geocaching.org Lots of fun ways to go outside and find treasure boxes all over the world. Check it out. In future posts expect lots more websites that will be helpful in exploring.
