If you've been using any of our fairytale-focused

If you've been using any of our fairytale-focused Little Wonders curricula, you may have run across a story that made you think twice about whether or not it was appropriate for your child. While we chose fairytales we felt were generally appropriate for each level, many of them do indeed have dark origins. Before reading a fairytale with your child, consider their age and developmental stage, and consider the best time of day to read the story. Maybe the story is fine in the light of day, but feels darker and more ominous at night in the dark. You're the best judge of what's appropriate for your child. ⠀
⠀
Do yourself a favor – don't ban fairytales from your child's life forever just because some are scary or politically incorrect. Fairytales are important, and here are some of our reasons for highlighting them so often:⠀
⠀
1. Fairytales show kids how to handle problems⠀
2. Fairytales build emotional resiliency ⠀
3. Fairytales cross cultural boundaries⠀
4. Fairytales teach the components of story⠀
5. Fairytales teach lessons⠀
⠀
We'll talk more about all of these points in an upcoming blog, but for now, just remember that if you come across a fairytale you don't love while using our curriculum, chances are you can easily find a modified version that might work better for your child and your family. ⠀

What's your favorite fairytale? 🌿

🎨 There are SO many reasons to make time for art in your homeschool, and here are just a few to inspire you:⠀
⠀
1. Art is a venue for children to express happiness, joy, and pride⠀
2. Engaging in art helps children improve their sense of well-being and emotional stability⠀
3. Art encourages children to think outside the box⠀
4. Art builds community and cultural competency⠀
5. Art builds practical skills such as gross and fine motor skill development, visual processing, problem-solving and decision-making⠀
⠀
As Brené Brown says “If we want to make meaning, we need to make art. Cook, write, draw, doodle, paint, scrapbook, take pictures, collage, knit, rebuild an engine, sculpt, dance, decorate, act, sing—it doesn’t matter. As long as we’re creating, we’re cultivating meaning.” 🖌

🐜 Painting is always fun, but especially when you get to paint with insect figurines! 🦗 Gather an assortment of plastic or vinyl insects, cardstock, tempera paint, and paper plates or trays for the paint. 🕷 ⠀
⠀
If you want to add some context to our insect activity, read the story "The Grasshopper and the Ants" before beginning.⠀
⠀
To set up, place a sheet of cardstock at your child’s workspace. Squeeze two colors of paint that mix well onto a paper plate or shallow tray. Place an additional tray or basket with the insects in it within reach of your child’s workspace. Invite your child to make marks with the insects by stamping them into the paint and then onto their cardstock. Encourage them to look at the stamp and see if they think it looks like the insect. If you do not have insect figurines, show your child how to use the pads of their fingers to make dots and spots on their paper. Once the paint is dry they can use markers to add some features to the insects. 🐞

"Our little masters & cultural studies units are my favorite part of each homeschool month. Especially when I can get Alice really engaged and into what we are studying. Today was a Frida Kahlo & Mexico study. Our classical learning curriculum is inspired by literature, so we read some books about Frida & Mexico and then spent the immersed in the day in the life of Frida Kahlo. All dressed up in a homemade foraged flower crown and dress up, Alice does her best serious Frida Kahlo expressions. These are the days where I feel like it’s homeschool forever for us... but ya just got to take it one day at a time and enjoy each moment."⠀

Customer Q: Is the Wisdom Wonder Project Singapore

Customer Q: Is the Wisdom Wonder Project Singapore Math video program complete without the Intensive Problems and Challenging Word Problems books?⠀
⠀
A: The Singapore Math program is sequential and quite complete. We have the experience of watching Singapore Math students transition into algebra and higher mathematics fluidly and successfully. The Challenging Word Problems are advanced and are meant for students who while needing to stay at a given level, also require more to think about. They can be quite complex so aren't appropriate for our video series which aims to reach students of a wider capability.⠀
