Learning Opportunities

I love to watch Justus interact with my little brother and sister. They enjoy spending time with him as much as he enjoys spending time with them. Justus strives to do fun activities with the kids and to not always let them watch TV when we're hanging out. This past Saturday, I watched my husband teach Sarah and Ryan how to play marbles. As they were playing he took the opportunities to teach them. At one point we had set the marbles up in a "x" position. Justus started to ask different questions and explain a little about momentum and Newton's laws. "So if we hit this marble, which one do you think will move?" Justus did a wonderful job of teaching them without it feeling like a lecture, or distracting from the fun of the game.
