STEAM: Shadows, Shapes, and Sense of Sight

leslie September 16, 2020 0 Comments
What a gift of God SIGHT is! Have you ever wondered how it is that our brains actually process light rays to be able to see color?! It's fascinating and the more I see the intricacies in how things work, the more I see an amazing Creator God at the helm of all things. Exploring the 5 senses with children is always fun (check out this post) and even more so when you can get outdoors! We've been...

I have 2 little learners... a recently turned 6 year old and a 2.5 year old. I have always been terrified of studying human anatomy. Probably because I can't remember ever really studying it before the dreaded 5th grade health class. Yall know what I'm talkin' about. So, finding fun ways to teach about the human body to my little ones is something that is new for me too, but it has been so...

Superheroes can have all sorts of superpowers. Some can fly, or be invisible, have X-ray vision- or even super power breath.... just hope and pray they brushed first, lol! We are learning all about Superheroes this month with our Experience Early Learning summer box and it has been so much fun! The kids have loved getting dressed up, running around and dancing to the music from the CD, and our...

This post contains affiliate links. How can you build sandcastles without sand? Is it really a Sandcastle? Well, you read through this post, and you tell me. :) This month our learning has centered around Islands thanks to our monthly box from Experience Early Learning. We had a great time playing pirates, which you can read about here, exploring volcanoes, and wondering about the wind. Today we...

“Never be within doors when you can rightly be without.”-Charlotte Mason (Vol 1: Home Education) Our spring weather has been absolutely glorious down here in East Texas. So whenever I can, and however I can, we take our learning outdoors. Since our Experience Early Learning box (EEL) has been all about BUGS, it has lent itself well this past month to learn outdoors. I grabbed our Big Book of...

Exploring Ants with Preschoolers

This post may contain affiliate links. It's a new month which means a new theme of learning from Experience Early Learning. This month is all about bugs! I have to admit, I used to hate those creepy crawlies, but after this past year of Exploring Nature with Children and trying to show my kids how to love and enjoy the great outdoors, I have found more respect for bugs. (still not a fan of wasps...

Studying Snowflakes

We live in East Texas. Snow reaches us once in a blue moon. I think the last time we had snow my girl was 2 or 3 and we only had enough to make a 4 inch high snowman. We wish we had some snow here, but alas... none. However, just because we don't have a first hand experience here with snow doesn't mean we can not have fun learning about it. Experience Preschool gave us some superb ideas on how...
