13. THEY HAVE MOVED BEYOND ABSORBING THEIR ENVIRONMENT & FEEDING THEIR SENSES
TO A NEW STAGE. THEY NOW WANT TO UNDERSTAND THEIR WORLD & THEIR ROLE IN IT.
14. TO DO THAT THEY NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE PARTS,
INCLUDING THE TINIEST ONES.
17. Start with The Story of the Universe.
Show them how elements obey their laws
& play their parts.
Help them discover how every particle
serves its purpose.
18. NEXT, THEY WILL REVEL IN THE STORY OF LIFE.
AND KNOW THAT EVERY NON-LIVING & LIVING CREATURE ANSWERS TO A NEED.
19. THEN, THE STORY OF THE COMING OF HUMAN BEINGS,
THINKING, ADAPTING, BUILDING, ORGANIZING, LOVING.
20. THEY LEARN THAT EVERYONE, LIKE EVERYTHING,
HAS A PURPOSE & IS EAGER TO CARRY IT OUT.
21. NEXT, THE STORY OF WRITING & COMMUNICATION.
PENMANSHIP & WRITING PRACTICE OF THE PRIMARY YEARS TAKE ON A NEW FOCUS.
22. LAST, THE STORY OF NUMBERS & MATHEMATICS,
TAKING THE FAMILIAR, INVITING MATERIALS TO NEW HEIGHTS.
23. BUT COSMIC EDUCATION IS
EVEN GREATER THAN THE
GREAT STORIES & ALL THE
DISCOVERIES THEY LEAD TO.
25. THE ELEMENTARY CHILD TURNS OUTWARD, MOVES
TO ABSTRACTION & DEVELOPS A CONSCIENCE.
TO MISS THIS SENSITIVE PERIOD FOR MORAL DEVELOPMENT IS TO MISS THE GREATEST
OPPORTUNITY IMAGINABLE, FOR THESE MOMENTS WILL SHAPE THE FUTURE.
26. It’s about making connections,
understanding interdependencies &
meeting responsibilities.
27. And it’s about discovering
one’s cosmic task.
NO MATTER HOW FREAKY THAT SOUNDS.
28. YOU DON’T NEED TO BE SKEPTICAL OR RELUCTANT.
YOU NEED TO APPRECIATE ITS GENIUS.
29. COSMIC EDUCATION is the most natural, intelligent & inspiring
approach for elementary education. It is designed to fuel the
child’s drive & meet every need for his or her self-construction.
The possibilities are endless & their imaginations are limitless.
