The Every Day Academics

While I often just highlight the unique things we do each week, I feel it's important to occasionally remind readers we consistently do work in basic subjects every school day.

New Beginnings- Forest School

This week, K started Forest School. He will go once a week on their enrichment days where they focus on art, science, PE, and music. A2 joined for the day, too. This time, they planted seeds in a green house.

Feeding bunnies

Class pet?

End of January

Before I knew what D&D was, I loved using the multisided dice to teach math.

Eat 2 Explore Review

We are studying South America. We made Brazilian meat pockets and Peruvian Chicken using the last of our Eat 2 Explore boxes.  

Just a Normal Week in January

We didn't go anywhere this week, which was a good thing, because all the kids ended up with strep throat.  Even being sick, they continued to work on their studies.

Reading, writing, and math continue to happen every day. A1 is really into writing a chapter book and J is writing scripts for sketch comedy.

J finished her art class.

Back from Break

While we may have put our math books away for a little while, the kids are always learning. Our mini microscope made a comeback over Christmas break. The kids also played with puzzles, sensory tables, and more.

If you love hiking along the edges of cliffs, I highly recommend visiting the Island in the Sky. As a family, we do some pretty crazy hikes, but this park got my heart pumping, and it wasn't always because of the hiking. Every hike began, ended, or went along the edge of a high canyon. (Hence the name Canyonlands) So, if watching your kids run along ledges won't give you a heart attack, here's the few hikes we did with our kids ages 12-4.
