One of my girls says she doesn't like science, but One of my girls says she doesn't like science, but she'll read biographies all day long. 😊 This new release about DNA photographer Rosalind Franklin was a quick, enjoyable read! (Out of curiosity, did you learn about Franklin in school, along with Watson and Crick?)

All this snow will melt. I took a walk yesterday and marveled at the sunshine and the glittery reflection of the snow in the late afternoon light. #2021happyfile
One benefit of homeschooling is giving my kids fre One benefit of homeschooling is giving my kids freedom to discover WHO they are and HOW they learn best. They move from couch to floor to desk (and back again) all day long. We use visuals, hands-on materials, songs and rhymes, and short videos to help learn new concepts. I bring home books from the library to reinforce things we've learned and try my hardest to make things FUN day in and day out. Teaching my girls is more than curriculum and lesson plans. It's giving them tools and empowering THEM to take charge of their education. #learningathome #homeeducation #learnathome #homeschoollife #homeschoolingmom #homeschoolmoms #homeschoolersofinstagram #homeschoolmama #365homeschool #homeeducator #homeschoolideas #homeschoolingideas #homeschoolblog #homeschoolpreschool #preschoolathome #childledlearning #followthechild #intentionalmotherhood #thisismotherhood #motherhoodjourney #ohheymama #parenting #momlife #slowdownmotherhood #joyfulmamas #kidsforreal #momsofinstagram

Both of my kids loved it and asked if they could do it again this afternoon.) #homeschoolpreschool #preschoolathome #preschoolactivities #earlylearning101 #littlelearners #totschool #toddlerfun #toddleractivitiesathome #preschoolplay #preschoolfun #earlyyearsideas #preschoollearning #preschoollife #preKactivities #preKathome #playbasedpreschool #invitationtoplay #simpleplay #imaginativeplay #learningthroughplay #playbasedlearning #playtolearn #playislearning #openendedplay #playingislearning #playmatters #learnandplay #wherelearningmeetsplay #learningisfun #purposefilledplay
Growing up in Texas, I didn't see snow for the fir Growing up in Texas, I didn't see snow for the first time until I was a teenager (and even then, it was just a dusting!). My youngest was flabbergasted when I told her this a few days ago. 😂 Lots of my southern friends' kids are experiencing their first snow this week, and it's been a lot of fun to watch! Did you grow up in snow? Or was it a rare and magical event?
