my kindergartener was excited to share the "cybertruck" (her words) she built out of magna tiles... exact replica. this must have been Elon's design process, stealing his kid's magna tile creation.

supposedly, silent reading first occurred when future St. Augustine went to see his teacher, Ambrose, in Milan, in 384 A.D., and was shocked to witness him looking at a book and not saying anything. read this fact today... wild! imagine being the guy who invented NOT reading out loud 🙌🏼

I have always loved public libraries, but having young children has exponentially increased my gratitude and sense of indebtedness to them. Our local library is such a huge part of our lives. The books, the programming, the very intentionally curated kids’ section. It’s all such a gift.

If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.
