It's Official—Joely's a Sponge

Little ones have big ears is an expression that mirrors the concept of learning while listening. As part of our homeschooling schedule, we've been reading through The Fallacy Detective on Fridays, and the kids have thoroughly enjoyed it. The last section of the book covers propaganda, so we've been discussing specific aspects of propaganda for […]
