Rocks of hope šŸ’™ Our state is currently under lockdown, and my little extroverted child is feeling it. The other day he was very emotional and asked, ā€œMama when are we going to go somewhere and see someone?ā€ šŸ˜­ . When I saw this idea from @wovenchildhood I knew it would be a fun way to connect with our friends and neighbors while keeping our distance. (For more on rocks of hope, see Elleā€™s post) . What are you doing to spread hope and cheer during this time? We are looking for more ideas! . . . . . #hyggehomeschool #homeschoolideas #kindletogetherness #homeschoolcollective #ourtinymoments #givethemlalabeauty #cultivatekindness #stayathome #craftideas #homeschool #thisishomeschool
Ever have one of those moments in nature study when youā€™re like šŸ¤Æ WOW . That was us this week during #exploringnaturewithchildren when we studied the Fibonacci sequence. Sometimes called ā€œGodā€™s Fingerprintā€, the Fibonacci sequence is a spiral pattern found throughout nature that follows a specific mathematical number sequence. Itā€™s seen in snail shells, sea shells, pinecones, flowers, plants, animals and even hurricanes . {Math + Nature = Awesome} . Using square tiles, my oldest and I created the number sequence and then made the cutest little snails with some leftover salt dough and shells. {Salt dough recipe in stories} .

How are you all doing? Hanging in there? Iā€™m loving the extra family time buuttt... sometimes all that ā€œtogethernessā€ is exhausting šŸ˜… #justkeepingitreal . Our new dinnertime tradition has been our Highs and Lows Journal from @creatingfamilytraditions Itā€™s been helping us focus on meaningful conversations at the table and Iā€™m looking forward to flipping through it once this is all behind us . One of my kids especially is an internal processor, and this journal has helped to draw out how heā€™s been feeling about our new normal . Kati @creatingfamilytraditions is generously offering 30% off on High and Low journals right now with the code wildthings30 . If you are able, now is a great time to support small family businesses šŸ’™ . . . . . #kindletogetherness #highsandlows #creatingfamilytraditions #thesearethedays #slowchildhood #hygge #hyggehomeschool #homeschoolcollective #365homeschool #simplyhomeschool #honestmotherhood #homeeducation #homeeducator
Woke up this morning with snow falling thickly, which is pretty fitting for Coloradoā€™s #firstdayofspring {March is our snowiest month!} . So weā€™re snuggled up, reading poetry, drinking all the hot drinks and watching movies by the fire . How is your spring going so far? šŸ˜‰šŸŒ¼ . {Our favorite book of poetry is Gyo Fujikawaā€™s A Childā€™s Book of Poems ~ it is a treasure!} . . . . . #springishere #hyggehomeschool #hyggehome #fortheloveofhomeschooling #kindletogetherness #wildandfreechildren #thrivingthursday #quarantinescene #homeandhavencommunity #homeschoollife #charlottemasonliving #howwedwell #memoirsofmotherhood #poetryteatime #unschooling #thisishomeschool #slowchildhood #ourtinymoments #mulberrychildhood
To all you mamas who are suddenly thrust into homeschooling ~ can I just say something? . You donā€™t need a million preplanned activities, you donā€™t NEED a strict schedule or curriculum. Allow yourself a moment to catch your breath. Be together. Let them play, read books, and go outside. Check up on your neighbors, choose kindness and community over fear. Model to your kids what strength and hope look like in the face of adversity. Make a craft together if you want, but only if you want. Turn a movie on if you need some peace and quiet ~ itā€™s FINE. . Your kids will NOT ā€œfall behindā€ because of this interruption. Promise . They will still learn, because kids are born curious. Sit back and watch them come up with their own ideas, follow their own passions. Remember that ā€œwhat a child digs for becomes his own possessionā€ (CM) . And for all you working parents who are now trying to figure out how to work full time *while* schooling your kids ~ I canā€™t imagine the stress level. Grace upon grace to you my friends. I am rooting for you! šŸ’™šŸ™ {DIY pond from the amazing @3littlelambshomestead (check out her story highlights to see more) And keep sharing how you are #journalingthewild !!} . . . . . . #kindletogetherness #homebound #slowchildhood #charlottemason #charlottemasoneducation #naturestudy #letthembelittle #letthemplay #hyggehomeschool #simplyhomeschool #reggioinspired #homeeducation #homeeducator #givethembeauty #naturejournal #homeschoolprintables #homeschoolideas #wildandfreechildren
