Homeschool Mama
ABC'S and 123's Teaching young ones how to read. Next Geometry and Chemistry. Now on to ancient history. Back to letters and the sounds they speak. All the while a toddler is tugging at my knee. The dog needs to be fed and probably outside to pee. But right now I am chilling in ancient Greece and teaching about Socrates. The life of a homeschool mama isn't for the weak. Through every lesson, it's His strength we seek.
Five years ago today, the pandemic was official in the US.
That means it has been five whole years since my kid last went to school. (We #unschool now.)
I asked my kid if he thought that was ok. He grinned and laughed. "It's BETTER than ok!"
A couple of weeks ago, the Little One captured a praying mantis in the garden.
They then went to the library and brought everything they could find about mantises, learned what they eat and built a fruit fly trap to keep it fed. They've also kept a scientific journal of it, now named KamaChan.
Recently the mantis shed its skin, a huge deal. Notes were made on the journal.
I feel a bit sorry for the critter, but LO is doing their best to be kind and keep it comfortable.
@saltphoenix I dunno when we last actually interacted. I followed you back when twitter was cool and SMS based... I had set things up so I got a text any time "#unschool" was used.
I'm glad to have found you again here and find that you're even cooler than I remember.
I recently learned that a dear old friend lives in Lahaina these days. If I can make a visit work out some day and it lines up with y'all needing a hand I'd love to. I also have family on Oahu I haven't seen in forever. I don't know how reasonable it is to try and visit 3 islands in one trip, but it's all a distant dream right now anyway.

News of #Israel’s inclusion on the list follows eight months of war on #Gaza, in which more than 13,000 children are estimated to be among the 36,500 killed, and comes a day after the Israeli bombing of a #UNSchool in central Gaza, which killed more than 40 Palestinians, some of them children.
