【2026 花園兒童節 x 地球日 趴兔】
先工作，再玩。不是口號，是跟花園出門的行程表。
（沒錯，就是跟上一部影片一模一樣的開頭。）
辛辛苦苦在大太陽底下淨灘的孩子們， 任務結束之後，花園老師們要帶著他們玩什麼呢？
（請看影片）
在課堂裡，我們教孩子們英文閱讀；
在大自然裡，我們讓他們直接閱讀大自然這本無字天書。
AI時代的孩子們，需要的不是更多知識，
而是讓知識變得真實的那個瞬間。
水母是冷的、滑的、透明的。
這件事，課本寫了沒有用，用手摸過，才算數。
花園的孩子在墾丁海生館外的潮間帶問到導覽員說：「我不知道」。
這是很多老師會覺得尷尬的場面，
我們卻覺得，這才是教育真正在發生的時刻。
孩子知道了：大人不是全知的；
孩子知道了：世界還有很多沒有答案的事；
水母要親手摸過才知道是什麼感覺，
寄居蟹要自己找過才真的記得住，
這跟著整面海底動物牆一起打呼入睡的夜晚，
是花園想要帶給孩子們的童年記憶拼圖之一，
希望這樣的回憶，可以陪著他們到未來。
昨天，他們學會彎下腰撿起垃圾，對地球負責；
今天，他們學會睜大眼睛，認識與我們共存的生命。
知識從來就不只在課本考卷上，
而是在他們走出教室的每一步裡。
【2026 GE Children's Day x Earth Day Sleepover】
Work first, play later. Not a motto — it's our actual itinerary. (Yes, the exact same opening as last time.)
After spending the morning picking up trash under the blazing sun, what did the GE teachers have in store for the kids?
(Watch the video to find out.)
In the classroom, we teach our kids to read English. Out in the world, we let them read something no textbook can hold.
In the age of AI, what children need isn't more information — it's the moment knowledge becomes real.
A jellyfish is cold. Slippery. Translucent. Reading that in a book means nothing. Feeling it in your hands means everything.
At the tide pools outside the aquarium, our kids asked so many questions that the tour guide finally said: "I'm not sure about that one either."
Some teachers might find that awkward. We think that's exactly where real education happens.
The kids learned: adults don't have all the answers. The kids learned: the world holds more questions than any one person can answer.
A jellyfish has to be touched to be understood. A hermit crab has to be found to be remembered. And falling asleep in front of a wall of ocean life — that's not a field trip. That's a piece of the childhood we're trying to build for them.
We hope these memories stay with them, long after the details fade.
Yesterday, they bent down to pick up someone else's trash, and learned what it means to take responsibility for this earth. Today, they opened their eyes a little wider, and met the creatures they share it with.
Knowledge was never meant to live only on a test. It lives in every step they take outside the classroom.
