I love reading my kids books and doing my short interactive presentations. It’s what I do, and I can only hope that at least some of the time it has an impact.

But I’ve gotta admit, when I learned about The Pet Education Project and saw how they are engaging kids kinesthetically, I got really excited.

So I’m sharing!

Check out how Erica Callais Falbaum, the founder, dresses up as a superhero and really engages the kids.  Do you remember being a kid and learning because you actually engaged in a physical activity that reinforced the learning?

That type of learning isn’t just for kids. It still works that way… at least for me and other kinesthetic learners. I’ll bet that the kids in her classes go home and talk about their experience and what they’ve learned for days, if not weeks. It becomes a part of them. And that’s exactly the point. How best can we educate kids and encourage compassion and compassionate choices? The bonus is the kids are having fun while learning.

When I was a kid I remembered the guest speakers, assemblies, and field trips more than I remembered the class work. I’m confident I’m not alone because these fun and interactive experiences are what stand out.

I’m super impressed with The Pet Education Project and hope that it continues to thrive and make a difference. Erica has created an amazing program and her energy is infectious.

Check them out and see if they can be helpful to a group of kids you work with.

We need superheroes today more than ever before and I love that we have a real live humane super hero walking on earth with us.
