Messy Makes Perfect!

In a book that I recently read called "Beyond Discipline: From Compliance to Community" by Alfie Kohn, he quotes Eric Shaps when talking about classrooms that run very smoothly: "Deeper learning would look somewhat 'messier' than what I am seeing!" In our Imagine That class tonight(3 and 4 year olds), I sensed some deep development of creativity and spontaneous learning with our rain theme! It looked messy! And I was thrilled! Imagine That!
