Homeschooling adventure in pictures 🙂 Enjoy!
Ariel washing vegetables and helping make lunch.
Learning about animals at the Carpenter Nature Center. Animals have natural adaptations that allow them to survive by escaping predators or by catching prey. The skeletons show animals with sharp teeth or flat teeth and Ariel was able to figure out which set of teeth ate plants or animals.
The kids went down the trail while the instructor hid a tape recorder, which made prey sounds, and the kids pretended they were predators looking to catch their dinner.
Making “sticky slime” and reading about how it works, “a molecule is the smallest part of a compound. It’s the starch molecules reaction with water that are responsible for the slime’s viscosity.” (p.13 Smithsonian Maker Lab, 2016).
Putting together a project we found at GoodWill (yes! some of the pieces were missing…but when isn’t that true in this thing we call LIFE?)
An adorable skeleton dances!
A nearby technical college had an open house. The people working were happy to answer questions, from Sam and Ariel, about building homes.
This one is a little blurry, because I had Fiona “helping” me take pictures. Sam is asking the Nursing instructor about the muscles on this model.
Ariel found the “world’s tiniest leaf!” on a walk.
Dad explores the welding lab with the kids (tech school open house).
Sam teaches Fiona about Letters!
Workbooks with math and writing.
Storytime and craft at the public library.
Sam asked me to take a picture of this stump, because it’s so cool!
Sam made his halloween costume.
Art class
Exploring interesting things without me telling them what to do every minute.
