When I was going to school to get my teaching credential
(which is NOT needed to homeschool in California, if you are wondering) ,
one thing they emphasized is what is called the
“teachable moment”.
Basically when something cool comes up – make it a lesson regardless of your “plans”,
when something tragic happens, like 9-11, make a lesson regardless of your “plans”
– it’s using the unexpected as a lesson
– and these usually turn out to be the best lessons of all!
