"Living is learning, and when children are living

"Living is learning, and when children are living fully and energetically and happily, they are learning a lot, even if we don't always know what it is." - John Holt⠀

Sometimes the best way for kids to learn is for us to just get out of the way. 🌿

It's official, we've begun production of our Level 2 (2nd Grade) Singapore Math videos with Mrs. Dillon! We'll announce an official launch date soon, but for now just know that they'll be available by the end of Summer 2021, in time for the school year. 🌸⠀

Anyone else excited as we are? 🎉

"I think it is safe to say as we come to the end of this school year, that for anyone reading this, it has not been business as usual. What a year to raise children (among other things)! We have all, parents and children alike, have grown in resilience. As you focus on this month’s character trait with your own child(ren), a great way to begin is with a review of this last year—how have you each become more resilient? Take time to affirm a moment or period where you observed each other displaying resilience. Then delve into the book list below and see if your understanding of this character trait broadens and deepens after reading about the characters’ own displays of resilience. In what ways will each of you “try again” this month?" ⠀

Build a boat that will float! ⛵️⠀
⠀
You will need to gather an empty egg carton, two skewer sticks, air dry clay or playdough, acrylic paint, paintbrushes, a jar of water, a paint palette or paper plate, the protective tablecloth, a tray, masking/painter’s tape, and one sheet of construction paper. ⠀
⠀
For your child to create their own boat, trim the top and front tab off of the egg carton. You can cut the egg carton in half if you want a smaller boat, but it will not float as well. Set out the acrylic paints, paintbrushes, the jar of water, and the egg carton out on the tray or wax paper. Invite your child to decorate the inside and outside of the boat with acrylic paints. Next, help your child cut the piece of construction paper into two squares and appropriate size for sails for the boat. Allow your child to paint or decorate their square sails if they would like. Once the sails have dried, help your child safely use a skewer stick to pierce one paper square through the top and bottom of the sail, about 1 1⁄2 inches from the edge, so that it creates a curved sail. Repeat with the other square sail and skewer stick. Make two small balls about the size of a cherry tomato and then stick the ball in the middle two indentations of the boat. Let them stick the skewer for each sail into the clay or playdough to enable it to stand up. Make sure that the paint is fully dry before putting the clay and playdough in. Now that the boat is ready, allow your child time to sail it in the bathtub, a pool, or a sensory tub.⠀

⠀
We quite agree! ⠀
⠀
Gardening is a wonderful platform from which to base much of your child’s homeschool curriculum. Cultivating a garden as a family provides hands-on experiences to many subjects, and teaches character traits such as responsibility and patience. Math, science, physical education and health, biology - all can be taught in the garden, even if it's a tiny little corner of your yard or a nice deep planter on your porch. 🌱⠀
