Our youngest students who received their first food package yesterday were so excited to bring it home to their families. They knew that they were helping. Thanks to @EveryMealOrg for making that happen.

Young children are like scientists - constantly testing their theories about the world.

Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget is revered in education circles as the father of “constructivism” - which is a theory that young children create knowledge by connecting new experiences with past learning, through a process not unlike the scientific method.

And here’s an amazing example. Faced with something unfamiliar (an anti-theft security tag affixed to a shoe), this little guy draws upon his existing knowledge (or “schema” in Piagetian terms) to make sense of what he’s seeing.

In a sign of the times that would have fascinated Piaget (who died in 1980), our hero assumes that the shoe comes with its own charger, which - according to its label (a size 10 sticker) will permit the owner to walk for 10 minutes after charging. (Or perhaps this is the time required to achieve a full charge?)

It’s really a pretty amazing hypothesis that draws on multiple different data points.

Not shown in the video is what happens next. Had his theory been affirmed as correct (which in this case it isn’t), the example of a battery powered shoe with a USB port would have been “assimilated,” strengthening his existing knowledge of electronic devices.

Presuming mom provides some explanation about store security tags, however, our little scientist will be disproven - forcing him to “accommodate” within his existing schema to take the existence of a new object into account.

Either way, knowledge is being constructed. What an impressive little guy! 🧠

Have you noticed your children test their theories about the world? If so how?

The Islamic calendar is called the Hijri calendar. The start of each new Hijri year commemorates the departure of the Muslims from Mecca when they migrated to Yathrib, which would later be called Medina tul' Nabi. The Islamic year is 1445 (the 1445th anniversary of that event).

[Dr. Hanaa Wahba @WahbaHanaa]

Happy New Hijri Year 1445 to all Muslims. #HijriNewYear

Did you know that students who don't have a library card can actually check out books by using their student account number? It's the same number they use to get their school meals. The friendly library staff can help them get started.

@4thinthepark You did a GREAT job keeping an event together that could have fallen apart at the seams. What made the difference is that you REALLY cared about the parade, the people in it and the crowd waiting for it. Kudos to you! 💐

[Kaohly Vang Her @KaohlyVangHer]

A fantastic day celebrating the independence of America at the St. Anthony Park @4thinthepark parade with my seat mate @davepinto & colleagues @ClareOumou @mitrajunjalali @julieblaha. A wonderful turnout despite the rain. Happy 4th of July.

@leighfinke @SenClareOumou It was a great time!😃 Sorry you missed it. Once the skies cleared, the temperature dropped and everyone was happily relieved that there would still be a parade.
