Space, Clay and Learning

My six-year-old has developed an interest in space. He specifically asked to know more about the people who first landed on the moon. I looked around our house for our space books and displayed them in our learning space for him to look at and read. On Wednesday he signed up to go the publicContinue reading Space, Clay and Learning

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.

🗺 Geography Unit to wrap up the year 🌎. This week my son and I are wrapping up history lessons. As we became learning about US History, I noticed he is would be helpful to learn some major geographic features of North America. My goal is to reconnect back to our biome study but focus on the interaction between people and the environment.

Handicrafts have been a wonderful way to share my culture and build memories with my kids. We read this wonderful story, “Rainbow Weaver”. My daughter loved seeing the cover with a girl that looks like her. Just a reminder that representation matters. During our read aloud my son made his own little weaving. He says it will be a blanket for our little pup.

It feels so good to be back into our learning routine this week. We are exploring the differences between acids and bases and learning how to use an indicator. Yesterday we made and learned how to use red cabbage as an indicator. Today we used pH paper and the pH scale. There are great resources and lessons from the @amerchemsociety and @teachengineering as well as informative videos from @thecrashcourse

I took time off from homeschooling and tutoring because I got sick about a week-in-a-half ago with a yucky head cold 🤧 . After, I felt well enough to eat and cook, the first thing I made was a green smoothie with greens from this garden bed. We are planting a Jacaranda tree & an Arizona Sweet orange tree along with transplanting some cucumbers and strawberries 🍓. Fingers crossed they survive the coming desert temps. 🤞🏼
