3rd Grade Interest-Based Learning Ideas

March 21, 2020October 8, 2020 Maria AranaLeave a comment

With extended school closures announced in my community, I realized I needed to start thinking about and gathering some learning resources for my third grader. Learning at home will not mirror the learning that happens in school setting. It will not look like usual homeschooling because we are staying home and unable to make tripsContinue reading 3rd Grade Interest-Based Learning Ideas

Welcome

Welcome to the Guided Learning Studio! I’m Maria. A mom of three and a former classroom teacher turned tutor. I am committed to providing engaging learning experiences based on a learner’s needs and interests.

One of our fave places to visit when we are in Miami is the @frostscience . As members of the @azscience we get to visit here for free.

Day 5 ~ Fivefold Symmetry for my #geometricsketchbook I decided to start with single circle drawing and build my skills to more complex geometric drawings as the month proceeds. I am loving this new habit of drawing each day.

With our homeschool year complete, I am taking time this June to follow my interests, geometric drawings and math art. I am making time each morning sketch, color and paint.

Lots of engineering and mechanical paper building fun this morning. The #karakuri mechanical paper model book is lots of fun. It requires adult help but with a sharp exacto knife and scissors it works well. 🌉 We got a little frustrated building the suspension bridge. It’s hard to imagine how engineers and builders actually build a bridge over water. We’ll have to find some videos or documentaries. Our #stemeducation focus has worked out well. This is our last week of homeschooling. Next year my son returns to our neighborhood Montessori @keystonemontessoriaz . 😁

Wrapping up my school year tutoring sessions this week and next. This summer will be one for reflection and planning with some tutoring sessions mixed in.📚 In August, I plan offer my study class for teens again. The class will be for new high schoolers. I look forward to continuing tutoring my longtime clients in the 2021 school year. I will be limiting the number of clients and/or availability this fall.

We are wrapping up the year with #engineering lessons and activities. Instead of spending lots of time on physics concepts, I decided to discuss concepts as they are applied in our projects. We enjoy watching @thecrashcourse engineering before starting on projects for a bit of history. With just a week-in-a-half left, we are both ready for summer break. These last few days of lessons, I focus on three areas: read aloud (Tristan Strong), engineering and math.
