Space Adventures: Educational Activities and Resources

Once upon a time I thought I was going to be an astronaut. All because John Glenn came to our elementary school in San Jose, Ca and spoke to us….

We homeschool and we know things!

    We read about the Toilet Culture exhibit from a book. When we found out it was in Suwon, we had to come and see for ourselves!  #prhomeschool   #unschool   #unschoolers   #homeschoolinglife   #findyoursmile   #southkorea   #expatsinkorea   #pyeongtaektravels

    I met with  @brooklyn_english_usedbooks_  over the last 6 months and spoke with her about setting up a class for homeschoolers. I set the class and then invited anyone who wanted to join us. I am so happy she is willing to share her language and culture with us! Today we were early for our first Korean Culture class. So we were the first to learn how to write our names in Hangul! 5 minutes later everyone else showed up. Let the fun begin!  #prhomeschool   #expatsinkorea   #structuredunschooling   #secularhomeschool

    This month my schedule slows down a bit! Which means putting up new posts on both blogs all month long! Right now over on Keep on Winking is a trip to my first hot springs in Onyang, Korea. On Phoenix Rising Homeschoolers is a look at a local Montessori and Waldorf inspired homeschool. Links in bio! Enjoy!  #keeponwinking   #prhomeschool   #lifeinkorea   #korea2018   #expatsinkorea   #southkorea   #asan   #onyang   #hotsprings   #findyoursmile   #findyourhappy   #homeschool   #homeschoolmoms   #homeschoolirl   #secularhomeschool   #militaryfamily   #militaryhomeschoolers   #blogger   #homeschoolblog   #travelblogger   #travelkorea   #exploremore   #liveyourlife   #throughthelens   #getoutthere   #justdoit

    We are currently using some old 1990s textbooks that we found in a thrift shop. (Houghton Mifflin and Silver Burdett) One of which we are using to review map skills. It includes looking at how things are made in America. The other we are using to answer questions about geography and capitals. Even though this is below the twins' grade level, it holds enough interest for everyone as a read aloud.  #secularmorningbasket  While the girls are in their Korean class, Little Man compares Pokemon notes with the other boys. Also, we are learning the importance of checking your answers and

    The twins said they wanted more class like structure. Well, one said that and the other said they wanted more language arts stuff. This is the compromise we found. So far we are enjoying  @lovinlit   #tpt  language arts bundle!  #intrestledlearning   #childledlearning   #structuredunschooling   #unschoolers   #homeschoolinglife   #secularschool   #secularhomeschooling   #prhomeschool   #militarykidslife   #learningathome   #learningatnight

    Heading out to a museum, which means everyone needs to figure out how to entertain themselves for 1 hour each way. Twin A tells me this Spellbinder book is really interesting. Sweet! It's also the first book she found and was willing to read after Dragonwings! Yay!  #findyoursmile   #lifegoeson   #libraryfinds   #librarybooks   #prhomeschool

    ...and the future of our meals are in the hands of our 13 year olds! This week they are making meals out of The Children's Cookbook and the Keto Living Day by Day book.  #unschooling   #unschool   #secularhomeschool   #homeducator   #itstartsathome   #lifeskillsforkids   #prhomeschool

    We enjoyed learning to make songpyeon 송편 for Chuseok! I think we made enough to share! What do you think?  #lifeinkorea   #expatsinkorea   #koreanculture   #findyoursmile   #structuredunschooling   #secularhomeschoolers   #prhomeschool   #getoutthereandlearn   #justdoit

    Here are our favorite read this week (month?)! A couple of noteworthy mentions: I think 'A Walk in Paris' and 'A Walk in London' is nicely done! If you are looking for a book to give before or after a trip, this one is my recommendation! First Girl Scout showed up at the library and it does a nice job of describing the colorful and controversial history of the late 1800s without trying to justify or revise the ugly parts of the past. Still working my way through this, but seriously considering using this as a spine when we talk
