Welcome Autumn
Today we talked about trees. It was a perfect day to be outside for a moment to look at trees and gather a few leaves. We made a leaf print and did the old school leaf display using wax paper.
We visited a cute site with a video called "Trees are Terrific…Travels with Pierre". It explains trees, their parts, what they provide and being environmentally responsible with them for 5-8 years old. There’s also a teacher guide page with enhancement ideas.
Also, I created a Facebook group for those who teach with an emphasis on diversity or want to but not sure how to incorporate multicultural materials, lessons, etc. The group is called: Culturally Diverse Homeschooling. I feel that there’s a need for discussing and embracing multiculturalism in homeschooling because we could so easily get caught up in a very narrow scope. If you’re interested, join me in exploring this facet of education(you do have to join or already have a Facebook account).
I absolutely love the mystery and majestic nature of trees. I love shooting them with my camera! If I had a facebook account I would definitely join that group you started.
Happy Homeschooling!:)
