a gem from my dd
yesterday we went to a 'read, write and share' day with the local homeschool crew.
one of the activities involved the children each drawing 5 symbols or little pictures across the top of a page. they then wrote a few sentences/ story including them. they would then swop pages with another and it continued until they had written on all the various pieces.
it was interesting to see what similarities and differences came out in interpreting the symbols.
one of the mums leading the activity talked about the beginnings of written language and heiroglyphics etc, and refered to the symbols as 'keys'.
my dd (7) moved her arms indicating something small becoming larger, and said
"they are keys. they are keys that open a box. in the box is ideas and inspiration."
gotta love it.

well, she overheard me telling someone this story and quickly corrected me.
it's 'ideas and UNDERSTANDING'.
