EXCEL
We are approaching June
20, the official date for the beginning of summer. In most families, this signifies a re-set of schedules,
routines, and plans. It could be
the coming of vacation, changed work hours, or summer educational programs for
the kids.
I think that creative
thinking means that reduce, reuse, recycle applies to ideas as well as things. EXCEL is an idea that was born for me in a different
time and context, but it has had continual meaning in changing ways. I share it now because I hope it will
be a useful acronym for you as well.
To excel is to do very
well, to perform in an outstanding way. To personally accomplish any goal in an excelling way,
it is important to choose an environment where the behavior can flourish. Make sure that the flower can
really grow and bloom where it is planted!!

Creative
Environments for
Learning.
As you plan your summer
family options, think about how important it is to create contexts and
environments that invite success.
Open, happy, supportive, inviting people and opportunities provide the
greatest potential for learning and growing.
Curiosity is the wick in
the candle of learning. William Arthur Ward
