We did a unit on the sky this week. Prepared to discuss the differences between Cumulus, Stratas, and Cirrus, I asked Shiloh if she knew what the different kinds of clouds were.
"Cloudy clouds, rainy clouds, and sunny clouds," she answered. :)
I think so much of education is just common sense. Stuff we all sort of instinctively "get", but can't put into words. I remember that about school, especially college. A teacher would explain something, and it was like I'd found the 2 or 3 missing pieces to a puzzle that was just-about-not-quite done.
It was a good reminder to keep it simple, to build on what she already knows, to stay with things that are practical and relevant.

I totally agree with to stay with things that are practical and relevant, makes complete sense to do that. :)
Indeed. Keep it simple, it becomes complex by itself!
