My goodness, almost half my my math art class was out again this week too! Oh well. Those that were there got their "exploding bugs" finished, and don't they look amazing! Some chose to use their painted backgrounds, and some decided that a blank piece of cardstock pop more.

Lots of practical math packed into this project - and plenty of practical skills in general. I see a couple of kids in the class that need opportunities for more ruler, scissor, and fine motor work and the cutting and tiny triangle gluing was a challenge for them.

On the math side, the few weeks we spent on this project included discussions about symmetry, triangle classification, measurement and ruler work.

Next, we'll start on compass work :)

Math Art was a quick sort of fill in project this week - last week half of the kids present didn't finish their painting projects, and two were on vacation - and we have more work to do with the painted papers!

So, I needed a fill in project in order to give most of the kids painting time. Since we talked about and classified triangles, so I wanted to follow on from that. I thought a quick collage project might be fun. The kids could draw triangles with a ruler, or use my detective adjective triangles as templates. Everyone had a table of triangles to compare their cut triangles to, and a variety of papers made the visual more fun.

As kids finished painting they joined in on this project. The timing meant that not everyone managed to finish the collage - but they did all finish their painting! We can complete our "exploding bugs" next week!

Today one of my students walked into my Cosmic Stories class and immediately said, "ooohh...volcanoes!"

I told the Clock of Eras story. Before I started I asked what the kids remembered from last week's Story of the Earth tale. We talked about what time the kids get up, and what time they go to bed, and then I used those times to compare the 12 hours on the Clock of Eras to their days.

The kids had great comments and questions as we worked around the clock. They loved my bacteria and my trilobite and the pictures.

I think (?) I made the worksheet you see., but probably not the clock graphic it contains I asked my older students to fill it out with a few words or an images or two from each era/eon.

I had some Clock of Era sorting cards from @@montessorikiwi available, the books from Fossilicious.com, and my display available along with paper, books, and coloring/writing materials.

And, of course, I had volcanoes! Baking soda and vinegar volcanoes never get old! Not pictured are the instruction cards I placed out for the kids so that they could complete this activity independently.

This was a really fun lesson, the kids all remembered so much from the last few stories, and it was a great way to see all this new knowledge come together before we move on to the Second Great Lesson.

As a follow up to my last homeschool co-op post:

We are also super lucky to have a homeschool community here that offers classes for our kids to take that can be paid for either out of pocket or with charter school funds. My kids started attending once a week around 2022 or 2023 and have had the opportunity to take classes including: ceramics, public speaking, circus skills, creative writing, film & video, yearbook, math games, middle school science and more.

This year, my youngest takes 5 classes across 2 days, and this is my third year teaching through the organization. I've taught Math/Geometry Art every semester, a year of Imaginary Island, a Game Design class, a Spy Skills class, and this year I am teaching a Geography based classes and a Cosmic stories class along with Math Art.

It is a thriving community, growing each year. I hear there are over 200 kids participating this semester! Running three days a week there are between 12-30 classes running depending on the day - plenty to choose from! The site provides lunch supervision for the kids to hang out, and organizes Halloween events, craft fairs, end of semester performances and graduation experiences. Amazingly, our area can support three sister sites that are smaller, and run only 1 or two days per week. We certainly have plenty of homeschoolers to run into in our area and for us it has been a great place for the kids to make friends, explore new subjects, and get to work and collaborate with other kids.

Photos are from my classes.

Amazingly, our area can support three sister sites that are smaller, and run only 1 or two days per week. We certainly have plenty of homeschoolers to run into in our area and for us it has been a great place for the kids to make friends, explore new subjects, and get to work and collaborate with other kids.

As a follow up to my last homeschool co-op post:

We are also super lucky to have a homeschool community here that offers classes for our kids to take that can be paid for either out of pocket or with charter school funds. My kids started attending once a week around 2022 or 2023 and have had the opportunity to take classes including: ceramics, public speaking, circus skills, creative writing, film & video, yearbook, math games, middle school science and more.

This year, my youngest takes 5 classes across 2 days, and this is my third year teaching through the organization. I've taught Math/Geometry Art every semester, a year of Imaginary Island, a Game Design class, a Spy Skills class, and this year I am teaching a Geography based classes and a Cosmic stories class along with Math Art.

It is a thriving community, growing each year. I hear there are over 200 kids participating this semester!

I-Spy Detective Adjective Triangles!

During the first two weeks of this semesters Math Art class we talked about quadrilaterals. We are now working on an "Exploding Bug" symmetry project, but I'm adding triangles in the background.

Since I'd told the kids the story of the quadrilateral family from The Deep Well of Time by Michael Dorer, and the kids are all upper elementary and middle school age, rather than classify the triangles for them, I gave small groups each one color set of detective adjective triangles and asked them to figure out what properties they could use to classify triangles.

This worked because they are all second plane aged - the reasoning mind - and I primed their thinking by asking them to recall the two properties we used to classify quadrilaterals before we started the activity. When we came back together as a group, one group suggested classifying by sides, another by angles, and we were able to build the 7 Triangles of Reality grid together (not pictured). There was some surprise that there are only 7 types of triangle!

The kids then painted their bugs and backgrounds, which were prepared last week. Exactly half my class is finished painting, and half needs another paint day. We can't complete the project while the paint is wet, so I think I am on the hunt for a quick triangle project to fill next week for the non-painters.

6/8

These days, homeschool mornings around here look a lot like this.

My youngest is out of the house 4 mornings a week - a homeschool musical got added to the schedule last minute - and the trade off/deal to make this work is that 8-9am Monday-Thursday is a work hour.

On Mondays we go through her schedule for the week, set up her social studies work for the week and I pass on anything she needs to know/we schedule any lessons needed. Tuesday - Thursday mornings are math before leaving the house, and on Fridays she gets to sleep in and start her work at 9am like we've always done before. 😂 Sometimes afternoon work happens at home, sometimes it happens at the library, and sometimes it happens in other places.

If anything, this season of homeschool is teaching her a lot of independence and time management!

I told the Story of the Early Earth in my Cosmic Stories class today.

I always begin a story by asking what they might remember from previous relevant stories. I have a small group, and so when I started today's story they all asked questions all the way through - so many connections back to earlier stories about metals in the earth, the sinking of heavier materials, the different states of matter, and the rising and sinking of matter due to heat/heat loss.

Once the story was over, work choices involved book (as always!), research, my volcano puzzle, and the option to use model magic to make a model of the Earth - complete with floss-cut-away reveal. So exciting!

During the first week of class, I limited the more hands-on art activity to only two students at a time. Last week, I provided options for all students to complete the hands-on activity at the same time, and this week I returned to only providing enough resources for two students at a time to make the Earth model - I much prefer this limiting! While I have two students engaged in the "most attractive" task, the others begin drawing, reading, or research work. They often break from this work when the hands-on activity becomes available, but are then excited to return to their first project. I saw some wonderful research about volcanoes today, and helped to find answers to questions about plate tectonics. One student did a wonderful drawing of ocean Earth too, but I did not get to snap a picture of that.

They were also super enthralled by my bound book with all the stories in - I wanted something organized and pretty, but it is definitely adding to the drama of the stories!

They were also super enthralled by my bound book with all the stories in - I wanted something organized and pretty, but it is definitely adding to the drama of the stories!

I told the Story of the Early Earth in my Cosmic Stories class today.

I always begin a story by asking what they might remember from previous relevant stories. I have a small group, and so when I started today's story they all asked questions all the way through - so many connections back to earlier stories about metals in the earth, the sinking of heavier materials, the different states of matter, and the rising and sinking of matter due to heat/heat loss.

Once the story was over, work choices involved book (as always!), research, my volcano puzzle, and the option to use model magic to make a model of the Earth - complete with floss-cut-away reveal. So exciting!

During the first week of class, I limited the more hands-on art activity to only two students at a time. Last week, I provided options for all students to complete the hands-on activity at the same time, and this week I returned to only providing enough resources for two students at a time to make the Earth model - I much prefer this limiting! While I have two students engaged in the "most attractive" task, the others begin drawing, reading, or research work. They often break from this work when the hands-on activity becomes available, but are then excited to return to their first project. I saw some wonderful research about volcanoes today, and helped to find answers to questions about plate tectonics. One student did a wonderful drawing of ocean Earth too, but I did not get to snap a picture of that.
