Found some great information on these websites (among, probably, millions--but who has the time to look up millions?) about great ideas in education.
The first one is about a movement to include hours spent outside as part of each regular school day, for Kindergarteners. This article gives details about how it's done within the Waldorf school system:

The second is a website which is loaded with information about arts and education:
http://www.americansforthearts.org/news/national_arts_news/default.asp. Seems as though they cover a wide range of news, from arts funding (see the article on the site, about a moveable FEAST (Funding Emerging Art with Sustainable Tactics)--helping to fund artists through events which use sustainable agriculture, local decision-making, and a fun social outing) to ways families can encourage artistic learning in children's lives, to the ways in which our arts-supporting President highlights and encourages the arts nation-wide.
Now if we could only find more time in the day to learn even more!
More, later.
