“Why we dance…” – Marijo Moore

“Everyone” frequently reminds us that the movement of the body is essential for good health. We interpret this to mean exercise and we often shy away from “exercise” as it is not engaging for us.
Guess what?
Dancing gives us great body movement and it can be very engaging!

P.S. Here is Marijo Moore, reminding us that dance can be for “everyone”:
“To dance is to pray,
to pray is to heal,
to heal is to give,
to give is to live,
to live is to dance.”
—MariJo Moore

Think and Do! – Doc Meek
I’ve been planning to build a “safe” house for many years.
By “safe” I mean free of radon and man-made chemicals.
This is not easy to do in our culture (Canada & USA).
My wife Jeannette says, “Stop planning and researching
and start building!”
“I could have built the house and torn it down and re-built
it better 3 times while you are still planning and researching!” :O)
Learning by Doing
Academics in public education and universities would
Do well to heed my wife Jeannette!
This reminds me of my credo: “True education connects
the “4-H’s” of Learning: HEAD/HEART/HANDS/HOPE.
Read Taylor Halverson’s article in the Deseret News:
“Learning by doing, not just by reading and listening.”

The irony comes if you just read Taylor Halverson and
don’t think of a way to do some actual doing with your
kids (“hands on” and with “heart”), say with their
homework, in contrast to just reading.
Some call it “experiential learning,” a great way to
actually really learn (and remember the learning!).
Mesa, Arizona, actually does it
Because “learning by doing” tends to be underdone in
high schools, my dear friend Dr Keith Crandell helped
Arizona build specialty larger-area school districts which
overlay a group of high schools so that the students can
have great access to highly-developed “learning by doing”
curriculums.

Recognized by TIME Magazine as “learning that works.”
