  • // Principled Discovery - "Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude."--Alexis de Toqueville


    Friday Favorites


    OK, this sounds like it would be helpful and fun, at least to me.  I can't do a whole bunch of cool html code, but maybe that's just as well for those of us who only kinda know what we're doing while fiddling with our templates.

    Anyway, my idea is that every Friday, those interested can post their favorite lesson plan/idea from the week.  Let me know if you are interested in participating, and I will add your link to my blogroll.   If you insert it in your sidebar, you will automatically have a listing of everyone participating and can surf to your heart's content!

    This is the best I can do for the moment...can't figure out how to type code in here...



    We did not really do any real lessons this week...I'll put up my first one next week.  Although I have started something new...if you check my sidebar, I put a link to the book my daughter is reading right now.  If you would like an outline of my lessons for the book, email me.  I have just started PAing reading, so the lessons are kind of a fusion of what I did as a PS teacher, and what I have learned from PA.  I'll try to update it as we do new books (We've been doing about one per month as a formal study, but will soon be starting Pinocchio...and I'm not sure how I'm going to do that...).

    If you are wanting people to be able to copy and paste the code from your page, put the code on your page, replacing all of the < with < and all of > with >

    The < will show up on your page as <
    and the > will show up on your page as >
