How learning looked – end of 2014
It’s been a while since I’ve recapped our learning, so I thought I’d do a post to finish off our learning in 2014. There was lots going on with the holidays, but my favorite things during this time were all the game nights! After counting and organizing our games I decided we needed to play …
How Learning Looked
It’s been a month since I talked about what we’ve been learning. So I thought I’d a recap for myself, and anyone interested. There was lots of note writing/drawing/painting going on.

Ombré blocks: a kid toy you won’t be able to keep your hands off of
These pictures have been sitting around in my to share file for quite a while. I found the idea for ombré blocks via Pinterest. How easy, I thought! I loved the idea of using them to teach color gradations, in the same manner as Montessori color tablets (box three). I thought they would make great …

Yes, Pax Forest School has taken up most of my time these last few weeks. I’m not sure what I expected, starting a non-profit extracurricular outdoor education co-op from scratch! But we have our insurance applications in, we are a registered non profit corporation with the state. The Bylaws are written!!! And the appointment with …
