We put an egg in a tupperware without water and ran around and threw it down. Splat! The egg broke inside the tupperware. (This is to show what would happen to our brain without the fluid that surrounds it.) Next, we put in another egg and filled the tupperware with water. We had to try really, really hard this time to even crack the egg inside the tupperware, demonstrating how well the fluid that surrounds our brains protects our brains and how well God designed this part of our bodies.
"...the child should have a set time everyday to read for fun. Begin with half an hour for first graders, and build up to an hour of reading time daily... This is an important part of the child's education: it improves his reading skills, teaches him the habit of sitting still with a book, and reminds him that reading is fun... free reading ought to be spent on literature at or slightly below the child's present reading level so that he can simply enjoy himself. The easier reading will help him increase his speed." The Well Trained Mind: The Guide to Classical Education at Home by Jessie Wise and Susan Wise Bauer
