Review: Philosophy For Kids: Order it Now! - Having had a personal interest in Philosophy, as well as looking to inspire higher level thinking in the 4th grade curriculum, my search through desertcart's choices brought me to one standout possibility: Philosophy for Kids. After looking it over here on desertcart, I decided it looked very unique and user friendly, which is essential to me as a NYC schoolteacher with little time to spare. From day one, this book made for a smash-bang hit in my classroom. I was floating on air as the students, most of whom had never heard of Philosophy before, left my classroom absolutely exuberant after its first lesson. They were literally bursting out, "I LOVE Philosophy!", and when I replied, "Well, I love that you love Philosophy", another replied, "I love Philosophy more than you love that I love Philosophy!" (We were already into deep territory!) In addition, I myself was able to enjoy and learn more about one of my favorite topics with the children, adding the experience of rich sharing to yet another subject. I really appreciate the book's thoughtful and flexible organization as well; my students love the way the exercises that are built into every chapter set us up for the discussion to follow. I have divided my class into "Philosophy Groups" where they can later share their extended reactions. The section in the back of the book for teachers on each chapter is very helpful for me to read just before(or even while!)we have our session. The parents are absolutely delighted with this being included weekly as enrichment curriculum. My fourth graders continue to be fascinated by the content, and conversations arise that challenge us all and raise the thinking to an almost dizzying level. Philosophers that we study, one by one, are added to our ongoing "Heroes" chart. Plus, it is extremely uplifting to find how often the questions discussed find their way into other lessons; further proving its worth as a critical thinking boost. I teach in the gifted program, which at times inspires a too-competitive and sometimes stress-inducing component, so I found it of interest that several of the children commented what they really love about it is that they can openly express how they think, and that there is not a "right or wrong" answer. I also hold afterschool sessions for general education. Those students noticed some of the philosophy material, and expressed an interest. I now provide them with the weekly investigations, and they too are becoming philosophy fans. Let me assure the reader that this material can be exactly what the doctor ordered for all students, regardless of "classification". In addition, understanding our mutual pressures for time as educators, I want to point out that the philosophical explorations also serve as material for read alouds, listening passage comprehension, guided or shared reading, written responses, and history. Using these selections can be a great enhancement to the quality of your curriculum. Highly recommended for all. Thanks, Dr. White!
Review: From Victor (9) - Philosophy for Kids is a book all about philosophy mainly for kids (but adults enjoy it too!). I liked how they split the book into different chapters representing different parts of philosophy. I think the questions were very interesting because they often didn’t have a clear right or wrong answer - different people can have different answers based on their experiences. I also liked how the book didn’t try to convince you of a philosopher’s answer and they let you think freely. Even though they didn’t try to convince you, they explained the issues thoroughly. I think that balance is hard to achieve! I would recommend this book to people of all ages, especially ones who often ponder and think about the world.
