Joy of Kaleidoscopes and Learning
Hope Springs Eternal when I watch people learn, when I feel and see their joy.
Recently, while shopping online there was a pop-up ad.
I usually try to ignore those.
This time, it got me and lead to this post.
This advertisement for a kaleidoscope reminds me of that joy of discovery.
Look around your table. Look on the floor. Look in drawers.
Look in your teacher bag of tricks, a backpack and a basement.
Look on your porch, lawn and sidewalk. Be safe, too.
Pick up a few items.
You can make a kaleidoscope with an empty toilet paper tube, some tape or a rubber band, construction paper and clear plastic wrap. You may choose to order a kit or buy one at a local store.
Once you make one, it’s just the beginning.
We don’t outgrow the joy of the view.
The photo of the wooden kaleidoscope is from the Amazon ad. I took the other photos to show you the view inside my 20-year-old kaleidoscope.
Whether you home school, un-school, day school, traditional school or you are a parent, guardian or nanny, what’s your view?
I invite you to make a kaleidoscope and share your joy in the comments.
Off to take a peek!
