My boy, like most, absolutely loves robots. So today in my best Mommy Robot voice I asked him what his robot code was. He looked at me bewildered. I explained that everyone came with a Robot Code when they were born, that they needed to know. He was utterly fascinated at that point! I pointed to Daddy and told him what his Robot Code was. Then I told him mine. Then I wrote down his six digit birthday on a sheet of paper. "That is your Robot Code." I exclaimed. He was thrilled! Now we can incorporate his Robot Code into various lessons.<br />
<br />
he read<br />
- Rugrats Jungle Trek<br />
- Lion King Simba's Pride<br />
- D.W The Picky Eater<br />
- Meet the Minions<br />
- Rugrats Junk, Sweet, Junk<br />
- Rugrats At the Movies<br />
- Yellow Blues<br />

Zen was on the computer getting ready for his Spanish Lessons and he told me he wanted to play Typing Instructor For Kids instead. I had forgotten it was even there! He played on it for two hours and every once in a while challenging me to complete one of the "Island Missions". It was a great, unexpected way to keep him motivated to try harder. He loved it, I couldn't pull him away from it. It wasn't part of the schedule, but it worked nicely as an unschooled moment.<br />

Meet our Math Monsters! Though originally cereal boxes, they have transformed into math fact eating machines that grumble when you feed them! Math Monster Ten only eats addition equations that equal ten, while Math Monster Nine only eats equations that equal nine! We've had these guys for two days and so far this little trick seems to be working in memorizing addition math facts! Coming soon is Math Monster Eight and Math Monster Seven! <br />

We had the most fun with fairy tales today! I found one of the greatest printables ever. They combined the joy of some of the most beloved fairy tales with math. First he read each character's story and then colored the worksheets. To find the correct colors, he had to solve each addition problem and look at the color key. It was one of the easiest school days we ever had! He loved it.<br />

After he read this book he became fascinated by the concept of chores. So much that he actually dragged two of his toy boxes out of the closet, and into the living room. Then proceeded to dump all of its contents onto the floor. After looking through them, he put them all back in there containers and chattered on and on about how he was doing his chores. Now he does understand the stern "clean up your toys" bid, but the beauty of reading about another boy doing it and gaining a new term absolutely thrilled him! Oh the joys and simplicity of being a five year old.....<br />
<br />
<br />
For math, he watched the counting by five videos and together we spent all day singing the counting by five song. By the end of it, he had it down pat! (the first video is by far the best- it has a good rhythm and makes learning the easiest) <a href="http://juliaandzennan.blogspot.com/2013/07/day-9-read-to-him-impatient-pamela.html">http://juliaandzennan.blogspot.com/2013/07/day-9-read-to-him-impatient-pamela.html</a><br />

He did a great job completing the mouse's path to the page by counting by fives. (Drawing the lines to get there, not so easy for him, but good nonetheless!)</div>

He played a round of the globe game. His interesting question of the day was do turkeys come from Turkey? In which, I was happy to tell him that they actually came from Madagascar! Which is hilarious because last time he played the globe game he was excited to "discover" Madagascar and add it to his list!<br />

He worked on his cursive lowercase a's. He was still having problems with how to form them when I showed him a little trick. I asked him to stand still with his arms sticking out on each side.<br />

Then I traced my finger from his hand all the way up to his ear in the shape of a lowercase a. Then I went back around his head until I reached his ear from the other direction, and completed the "a" by going down to his other hand. This little trick did exactly what I thought it would! Afterwards he ran to his cursive sheet and completed the entire sheet beautifully, without any issues.</div>

He played another round of the Globe Game and he went absolutely NUTS when he noticed a small island named Madagascar! We wrote the name on a slip of paper and added it to the zip-lock baggy. I know that when we start making lapbooks, Madagascar will be his first choice. Time to start checking pintrest!<br />

He read happily while shoving an endless stream of cute little gummy bears into his mouth. And in between books he asked relentless "How do they make gummy bears." So I searched and found a good video that can actually be used to make gummy bears at home! We shall put that on our to do list!<br />

He completed a subtraction worksheet without any trouble. Just a little situation of nonstop giggling and ants in his pants. (Although, that was throughout most of the day- which is the best kind of problem to have as a homeschooling Mom, considering he breezed through everything else otherwise.)<br />

Homeschooling Year 2 Day 3<br />

<br />
We found this great Mcgraw Hill teacher's unit guide. I'm not sure how much we are going to use those resources in the future, but for now it works. He is still too early in learning cursive to do most of the writing activities for most of the week one unit. So we used the spelling list (man, can, nap, tap, cat, hat, not, does) and he used his Boggle Jr. cubes to create the words I said aloud. He made the game his own by rolling and re rolling the dice until he got all the letters he needed. He only missed the word does. <br />

Then he worked on the spelling words wordsearch. He absolutely loved it! Every time he found a word he said that he was a cowboy who was wrangling up the words. (He went to Wild West Town last week so he's still on his cowboy kick!)<br />

Then he played one round of the awesome Globe Game (sixteen locations). It's been a few weeks since he's played, but he did great! It's a perfect fit for a fun school time activity. Soon we'll start unit studies and lap books on the places he's most interested in learning about.</div>

For math he began with converting double diget words to numbers. I was so impressed, I wasn't sure if he'd know how to do those or not. He converted forty problems in under five minutes! Sometimes my baby makes homeschooling so easy!<br />

We decided to start out the year with a Mcgraw Hill Reading textbook (Stories to Tell). As it turns out it was much too easy for him, he completed the entire book. He zipped through the stories and answered the questions at the end. He's understanding what he is reading and comprehending it perfectly. He sang all of the poems, instead of reading them which was a nice, unexpected surprise! He made a dog mask, drew a snake picture, and a drew a picture of himself doing a stunt in correlation to three different stories.<br />

(he also read the glossary)<br />

<br />
He played one game of Park the Pods adding tens and units. He had a little trouble with it, but I think it was because of the way it was worded.<br />

He practiced handwriting cursive A's. It was handwriting with tears. He needed encouragement to start, but then did fine. He needs a lot more practice. (The printable for this cursive sheet is under the pic.)<br />

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">With all of this rain it was only natural for Zennan to start wondering about what was going on in the sky and why it was happening. </span>I gave a very simple answer. Then decided it would be a much richer experience for him to learn about the weather through videos and experiments!<br />
<u><br /></u>
<u><br /></u>
<u>The Water Cycle Experiment</u><br />
You need a cup, baggy, water, and some tape.<br />
.<br />
Put an inch of water in the cup. Then put the cup in the baggy, and tape it to a window in direct sunlight.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRufZq-Vw7d3WtMfGAb1MYzNJFi-E3zVQJJIpJ_2GJQg1huwCSZtTwTxY5-cexCqdy0t78fJMrvCfr2bvHkwasgVaHN-sAsh2dNbUvcFVTZQIrwKwdTBp6nzXd3_BOcn5RXCRsUO2SWncD/s1600/12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRufZq-Vw7d3WtMfGAb1MYzNJFi-E3zVQJJIpJ_2GJQg1huwCSZtTwTxY5-cexCqdy0t78fJMrvCfr2bvHkwasgVaHN-sAsh2dNbUvcFVTZQIrwKwdTBp6nzXd3_BOcn5RXCRsUO2SWncD/s1600/12.jpg" height="320" width="239" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
In the heat of the sunlight, the water will evaporate from the cup. It condenses inside of the baggy into water droplets. The droplets then drip down to the bottom of the bag.<br />
<br />
This is what is happening to the water in rivers, oceans, lakes, and creeks. The heat from the sunlight causes the water to evaporate into the air. The condensation of small droplets are what we see as clouds. When the droplets become too heavy it causes rain or snow to occur.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We watched a few great videos (throughout the week).<br />

Weather Experiments<br />
<br />
The most important thing we learned today was- Do Not Deviate Any Part of an Experiment. It only leads to failure. As most of you might know, it is impossible to have every part available, for every experiment. So we tried to use alternatives. Here are our failures. <br />
<br />
<br />
This was Tornado in a Jar. We used a two liter bottle because we didn't have any empty jars. We did a Bill Nye tornado/ two liter bottle experiment before, that was similar and worked perfectly. Not this time!<br />

Behold the great Blue Sky Experiment! We didn't alternate much. We used tarragon oil, I don't know if that made a difference. Regardless the results were so slight- almost unnoticeable. We weren't sure if this weather experiment worked or not. We ended up adding a lot of milk. Maybe the flashlight wasn't bright enough?!</div>

The Make a Cloud experiment should have been simple enough, but we didn't have any food coloring or regular shaving cream. So we used paint droplets instead. We thought it would work- it didn't. The paint drops just sat on top of the shaving gel. So it's safe to say this weather experiment was a failure. </div>

One of the key factors to raising a sucessful homeschooler is to always remember that you are their pillar of strength. You are there to nourish their minds, to encourage them, to guide them. To celebrate them and their accomplishments. No matter how big or small. To always be there for them. To push them forward from the point they are at to where they are going. To help them evolve, to grow, and to flourish. It helps to lay the groundwork for their own strong sense of self confidence. If you believe in them, they will become one of their own best supporters.<br />

<br />
On your homeschooling journey together, you are their steady guide. There to move them along throughout the entire process, even when you are working on something they just can't grasp. For parents, this can be a frustratingly hard balance to maintain. When things get tough, know that there is a point when they will understand what you are doing. Negativity is one of the most detrimental things to a child's well being. Some children struggle more then others and that's okay. It just means that they need more guidance. Remember to take a deep breath and breathe. It's okay to take a break or a time out. Brainstorm different ways to help them learn. You know them best. There are so many different choices and pathways you can find from the online communities. Help them have confidence in themselves. That is the most important thing you can do for them and their future. To raise strong, independent individuals that thrive.<br />
<br />
Anytime Zennan and I try learning something new together, I am always on the edge of my seat. Waiting for that moment where the light bulb comes on for him. When his brain makes and understands the connections, and he finally gets it. That moment always thrills me. Quite literally. I always give a loud YESSSS with a fist bump or a cheer or a high five (sometimes even a little dance). It's because I am so proud of him and how smart he is that those earlier moments of my frustrations and self doubt dissipate. He finally gets it. When he sees me celebrating he lets out a cheer of his own. Then I know that is it expected for me to cheer him on for the next ten or so times. After this he is so filled with so much of his own self confidence that he becomes his own cheerleader. He knows he can do it, he knows how to do it, and he's proud of himself. It pushes him forward to further his own learning. He has no hesitations for what ten minutes earlier, he was having trouble doing. For me those are absolutely beautiful moments.<br />

We've all heard this myth before. While it's not offensive in and of itself, its more offensive as to what it implies homeschooled kids are. Categorical misfits who are all over the place with no structure, conformity, or self control. <br />

Those generalizations are simply not true and heavily based on media misconceptions. Most parents who homeschool, are simply trying to strive for a place for their children to just breathe and grow. To flourish and become the best individuals they can be.<br />

Why homeschooled kids have no concept of time.....<br />

<br />
In our home, with my little boy, this myth happens to fit us to a tee. He is still young yet, and really doesn't have any concept of time- at all. I am in part, mostly (and by mostly- I mean completely) to blame for that.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
Why you ask? Well, I'll tell you why. It's because being with my homeschooler all the time, there's always that one question that drives me crazy. Mine just so happens to relate to<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivcdUMjvejzF1oduj5frAJQiHKrSnVaZcW-v-ucbmMOpwCbSE7tgm-V1fRI2VDI0EBbeOKlxI0xeypR0UTYNvSonVve_kcU1h1aLbo5ZfKBJnZDcfd8WvFtiX5ofV_UOKGGp8AoPSzS59O/s1600/00.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivcdUMjvejzF1oduj5frAJQiHKrSnVaZcW-v-ucbmMOpwCbSE7tgm-V1fRI2VDI0EBbeOKlxI0xeypR0UTYNvSonVve_kcU1h1aLbo5ZfKBJnZDcfd8WvFtiX5ofV_UOKGGp8AoPSzS59O/s1600/00.jpg" height="304" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
It's always the same question that's asked- 500 times a day, about 500 different things.<br />
Mommy how much longer until dinner? Mommy how much longer until Daddy's home? Mommy when are we going to the park? Mommy when are you going to read me a book? Mommy when are we leaving? Mommy when will you play a game with me? Mommy when are we going to get home? Mommy when are we doing school time? Mommy when are we going to take the dog for a walk?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
My answer is always in<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXxOwZkztlBaxfq2mT-ZUqETpWFYmR7hmOpS2dNzkIvJUUPmZWmt51MhwAepmdbno1C4EhZhK-DPVREc1tJ3LCI21QZBPotwgLoDYWKq_4D53sMsfOJUF2yTORC4TCMrZ5dPcnbwvHzb-8/s1600/op.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXxOwZkztlBaxfq2mT-ZUqETpWFYmR7hmOpS2dNzkIvJUUPmZWmt51MhwAepmdbno1C4EhZhK-DPVREc1tJ3LCI21QZBPotwgLoDYWKq_4D53sMsfOJUF2yTORC4TCMrZ5dPcnbwvHzb-8/s1600/op.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Why? Well consider this. He really has no concept of time, and regardless of what I say- that same question will be asked again, and again, every ten minutes until he forgets about it or until what he asks arrives. So when I hear people say that homeschoolers have no concept of time. I know that in this case they are right.....<br />

I came up with the quickest, easiest, most fun way for Zennan to learn how to identify, pronounce, locate, and learn all of the continents and countries on the globe! The game is simple and fun! <br />
<br />
All you need is a globe, some paper, and a timer.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig_YL_Pg67xt8l6oIbtBskGTozXVv8aJmg-CkQNj-i7PRuPckVPrB3q2l4hyoOlVVLcdm5rqrAbcz8jQP_SHzKpyFsIjZKJZG85kI0dZW-PWLzibJF0itZaI6xqckI9JXXMaz8c8L2VIFZ/s1600/10314002_10204058647936776_51083806024134882_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig_YL_Pg67xt8l6oIbtBskGTozXVv8aJmg-CkQNj-i7PRuPckVPrB3q2l4hyoOlVVLcdm5rqrAbcz8jQP_SHzKpyFsIjZKJZG85kI0dZW-PWLzibJF0itZaI6xqckI9JXXMaz8c8L2VIFZ/s1600/10314002_10204058647936776_51083806024134882_n.jpg" height="320" width="238" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
First write down the names of the seven continents and put them on slips of paper. Then mix them up in a bag. Set the timer or stopwatch to a predetermined time, say three minutes. Once the clock starts, they have to pull out a slip and find the place listed. Once that is done they pick another slip, and so on, and so on. The object of the game is to find as many places as they can before the time runs out. Then it's the next person's turn. The player with the most slips at the end wins!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/Jwf5i0aB8NU?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
Once they have successfully been able to locate every continent by name after so many games, it's time to add countries! Make sure to discuss and locate the new places that you are adding, together. They will be globe experts before you know it! <br />
<br />
(We tied a piece of string to the bottom of the globe that we connected to a ziplock bag. We keep the slips in it so we don't have to constantly make new ones or worry about losing them.)<br />
<br />
You can then expand their learning with lapbooks and lessons which are located in the links below: <br />
