Integrating art & math is one of my favorite lessons to prepare. I found this lesson on the @weareteachers website. . In this lesson we will be exploring fractions and percents using #paulkleeart . Then the we will create our own #paulkleeinspired art using tissue paper. This lesson requires a student to understand area, perimeter, ratios, fractions and percents. . . . #guidedlearning #guidedlearningstudio #learningstudio #mathenrichment #learningthroughart #handsonmath #handso learning #interest based learning #mathandartcombined #tutoringcenter #artlessons #studyart #mathisfun #elementarymath #mathlesson

🦃 Thanksgiving Origami 🍂 . Yesterday, my son’s classmate checked out a “Thanksgiving Origami” book from the library. They spent the afternoon making little decorations. 🍁 Today my son taught me how to make pumpkins, corn & a turkey. We decided to make a bunting with our little paper crafts. . . . #guidedlearning #guidedlearningstudio #origami #thanksgivingcrafts #papercrafts #handiwork #paperturkey #craftsforkids #kidscrafts #kidscraftideas #thanksgivingdecor #familytime #crafternoon #justmake #learningspace #craftspace #origamifun

🎃 A little candy data collection math lesson. 🍬 A simple box of colored candy allowed us to count, compare, organize and analyze a data set. 📊 The process of sorting, counting and comparing was very natural in this activity. 🎃 Make use of all that candy and to do some fun data collection for an introduction to data. . . . #guidedlearning #guidedlearningstudio #learningstudio #data #candydata #candymath #candymathfun #handsonmath #handsonlearning #dataset #halloween🎃 #halloweenlearning #learningthroughplay #interestbasedlearning #learningbydoing #dataanalysis #elementarymath #iteachmath #learningathome #learningnaturally #mathisfun #mathematics

The writing process made playful and fun with #stembins. . ✏️ My students’ creative writing and motivation to write has improved with the #buildastory materials from @teachoutsidethebox In just a few weeks, I see improved plot development, creativity, vocabulary and a willingness to revise and edit. Learning to write doesn’t have to be a chore. . . . #guidedlearning #guidedlearningstudio #learningstudio #tutoring #enrichment #smallbusiness #mompreneur #learningtowrite #writingprocess #handsonlearning #steameducation #stem #teachoutsidethebox #interestbasedlearning #tutoringcenter #individualizedlearning

On our last day in Maui, we surprised the teen & tween with some zip line fun! . My daughter has been wanting to try zip lining for a long time...she also wants to sky dive (yikes!). . My hubby and 8yo went to play tennis since he is too young to zip line. He loved having a morning with his dad all to himself, and I enjoyed my time with the older kids. . All 5 of like to spend time together during vacations but we often split into pairs or trios depending on interests and outings. ✈️ Tonight we’ll have a family meal together before heading home. . . . . #guidedlearning #interestbasedfun #skylinetours #ziplineadventure #zipline #adventuretime #funwithkids #familytime #optoutside #olderkidsrock #olderkids #mauiadventures #mauiadventure #adventuremaui #mauiwithkids #takethekids #travelwithkids

Sunrise from the summit is #haleakala volcano. . We woke the kids at 3:30am to make the drive to @haleakalanps to experience the sunrise. To my surprise no complaints from the kids until we all got too chilled from the cold wind at the summit. . Thank to the lady seeking coffee and muffins 1/2 up the drive, that was one needed coffee drink. . . . #sunrise #sunrise🌅 #sunrisepic #haleakala #haleakalasunrise #haleakalanationalpark #takethekids #familytime #travelwithkids #optoutside #outdoors #volcano #volcanohawaii #sunrisephoto #earlytobedearlytorise #earlytorise #sunrisesky #exploremaui #mauiwithkids #hawaiiwithkids #explorenature #explorenationalparks
