Math/Science: Grasshoppers
Today we were learning about mini beasts. So, I picked grasshoppers bc I love making them move like the animal we’re learning about 🤣. We started with a life cycle paper plate project to build on our pond discussion from 2
Art: Isometric 3D Drawings
Today in art, Neutrons and Electrons worked on drawing 3D structures using isometric paper (if you wish to print a few pieces of the paper, a template is here). We talked about using the grid lines to help give the appropriate
Nature Study: Alphabet Scavenger Hunt
The neutrons worked together on a fun Alphabet Scavenger hunt during our nature walk today. It’s always a fun time to see nature through their eyes, from Dogs to Grass to Leaves to Pool noodles to Shadows to Yellow flowers
STEM: Thinking Games
We ended our year playing some fun thinking games. It was a great class of everyone working together! In case anyone is interested in the games:
Psychology: Core Emotions
Alicia’s psychology course delved into emotionality and, more specifically, core emotions. This was a continuation of the previous week’s discussion of emotions, which revealed that, actually, only a tiny percentage of humans can repress their emotions. So much for our
Math/Science: Marshmallow Catapults
Marshmallow catapults!!! I can’t believe I didn’t think of this sooner since Neutron interest has been waning in math and science lately. It was delightful to have 100% engagement in this activity. The joy and wonder on this face says
Nature Study: Pond Journey
Waaay back in January, Kyle had the wonderful idea to spend both morning sessions over at the pond. And today, that’s exactly what we did! I first read Kate Messner’s Over and Under the Pond, while the group folded simple 8-page books (below)
Art: Mud Mud Mud
A flooded path? Mounds of mud? Loads of squish and slosh and squelch? Today’s art was revelling in the (literal) chiling beauty of SO MUCH RAIN on the forest trail. Within seconds of arriving at this giant puddle we had a pair
Science: Pond Observations
Well, we certainly made the most of the dreary day! Today we were learning about ponds so (as Chris will share) we walked over to the pond across the street. As expected, it took quite a while for the little
