Home Education Curation Collection. 23rd January 2022

We've had another active week in the community and it's been lovely to see. I want to welcome on board @missdeli who has offer to help out as things are becoming more active here. She will be easing in gently and getting the feel of things from the other side.

First our usual thank you everyone who makes this community what it is. This week 5% beneficiaries for interaction and contribution to the HomeEdders community go to:

• @afterglow
• @tomaspalomo
• @arrliinn
• @missdeli

Many children learn best through doing and the great thing about science, and likely why it can be one of the subjects you can get the most fun from, is that it is often open to hands on projects. @cmplxty has been doing a bit of engineering with his lad as they took apart a popcorn air fryer and got to see the inner workings.



In Australia we currently have the long summer break from schools, but apparently @melbourneswest's little student has decided that school is back in progress. I think all those who've homeschooled at some point quickly learn that children love to learn given the right environment, which is often a little different for each child. Dad also gives some thoughts on Little Miss' progress and has a sense of pride in realising she is hitting all of the learning targets expected for her age.



At an early age and indeed even throughout life, we learn through exposure. We wouldn't know the existence of letters or the written word if we had never seen them. So I love @missdeli's ideas for exposing toddlers/preschoolers to academic areas in a fun, hands on way. This week she shared some photos of the alphabet sensory play with the chicken and egg cycle she did with her son when he was two.



@afterglow continues homeschooling his son because lockdowns continue in his country, so his education is a mixture of what mum and dad choose to teach and the modules the school provides. This week his son is doing some kindergarten level modules as school officially returns. It reminded me of how much my youngest used to like the workbooks we would get on occasion.



@afa.hb03's talent and passion is art, so he often shares his processes with us. This week I particularly enjoyed his human figure drawing practice from the instructions given in art class. It reminded me how much I used to enjoy art class with one of my old teachers.
