We actually don't talk enough about how children's neurodevelopment is a requirement for readiness to learn, particularly for math 🥰 and reading 🙌🏾.

It looks like hanging/hand walking the bars at the park, swinging, and Miss Mary Mack! Big body and cross-body movements. Patterns.

Most language-learning apps also seem to use 3-cuing, at least for European languages, which is endlessly frustrating for me. Probably partly why they don't work well. By contrast, when I started learning Korean in person it was very focused on phonics.

Y’all greens are the shit. Collards, mustard, and turnip are my go to for cooking with spinach & arugula for snacking on raw.

They are DELICIOUS (and so much better then kale)
1 cup of cooked collard greens has 357 mg of calcium, but 1 cup of dairy millk has 306 mg.

Cruciferous vegetables like collard greens have a slew of other benefits: protects against cancer; improves bone, eye, digestive, and heart health.

Loads of antioxidants.

Kohn suggests that what some call the Anthropocene is an actualization of the dualism inherent in [Western] symbolic thinking, that it's limiting.

He describes "sylvan thinking" as way to expand thinking beyond the human (for survival) using 4 conceptual tools: play, images, absences & ‘generals’
"The biological production of variation is a form of play:
[a dog's playful] nip, that bite that denotes a bite.. is also a form of play; any relaxation on selection creates a space for play. Growth requires play in this sense."

Life needs play!

"By play, I mean a dynamic in which tightly coupled means/ends relations are loosened such that something new can emerge... Play is ubiquitous in the living world. It makes room for something new, for growth, for flourishing.."

For the current & future school board & city council members here: this is why playgrounds & parks are important.

Remember little kids falling out of their seats at school? Not enough play.

Humans need food and play all through primary school and beyond. Kids need it even to be able to school.

Y'all reading and teaching reading is one of my favorite things!! I'm also a huge advocate of adults playing educational games for kids because our inner kid deserves these goodies too.

A game I've supplemented with and played myself:

There are videos circulating of flooded pavements right outside the Blue Zone (where official government talks and negotiations happen) at COP30. Not uncommon for the region, but it shows the lack of infrastructure in Belém, even where they knew COP would be held.

“Every culture has some kind of soup. It’s got very ancient roots.” - Janet Clarkson, “Soup: A Global History.”

Early people simmered soup even before Bronze Age. Boiling food made it possible to live on stable grains, with herbs and other ingredients added for nourishment or medicinal purposes.
