<u><b>WHERE:</b></u> Blomidon Provincial Park, 3138 Pereau Rd, Canning, NS<br />
<br />
After visiting the vernal pond in late May, we will again visit the park a month later to view it chang; as the vernal pond goes from a vast water supply to a dried and empty hollow. Explore under logs and trees for salamanders, visit the view point overlooking the Avon shore. The hike took us 2 hours last time (granted we were rushing because of the cold) so anticipate a 3 hour hike if we meander. :)<br />

<u><b>WHERE:</b></u> Kingsport, Nova Scotia<br />
<br />
WE LOVE THE BEACH! This beach is muddy, sunny, AND private! Meet at the end of Longspiel Rd in Kingsport at the cul-de-sac and walk down the path. A bit of a traverse (use the provided rope wisely) so not really good for carrying a lot of gear, strollers or if you're unsure of your footing. But - WORTH the climb. Vast, muddy, private beach awaits! :) Bring beach gear and see you there!<br />

<u><b>WHERE:</b></u> Grand Pré National Historic Site, Wolfville, NS<br />
<br />
Shall we head up to Grand Pré for some summer learning? There will be 3 educational programs offered.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"Costume, Song, and Dance" </span><br />
<i>Geared towards 4-8 year olds.</i><br />
Traditional clothing worn by the Acadians are compared and contrasted with modern clothing. Students will learn about song and dance.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"The Mysterious Mixed Up Artifacts"</span><br />
<i>Geared towards 9-14 year olds.</i><br />
Imagine life in 17th and 18th century Acadia through it's artifacts. Objects made by humans represent a complete gamut of activities. Among them the most fundamental are linked to our essential needs: eating, drinking, and protecting ourselves from the elements. Even without written documentation, objects can speak eloquently about their users. Students will help uncover the past using the systematic approach of the archaeologist, practicing focused observation, classification, and comparison in a team approach context.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"Building a Dyke"</span><br />
<i>Geared for 9-15 year olds.</i><br />
Students will learn how Acadians reclaimed marshlands around "la Baie Fran<span class="st"><i></i></span><span class="st">ç</span>aise" (Bay of Fundy) and "le Bassin des Mines" (Minas Basin). Working in teams of 4-5, students will build a dyke with "aboiteaux" (sluice) utilizing Lego bricks, which was used to drain the marsh and to stop the sea from coming back onto the land at high tide.<br />
<br />
Information on which program your child is interested is needed as there is a limit to the number of kids in each one, but if there is enough interest they will just run two at different times of the day.... so it's needed to know which ones people will attend. Email to facebook can happen by emailing <a href="mailto:cvhomeschoolers@outlook.com" target="_blank">cvhomeschoolers@outlook.com</a>.<br />
<br />
Also the cost is $3.90 for the first activity and $2.40 if you choose to do two guided activities. The money will have to be in by July 7th.<br /><br />Tammy Pyette will be collecting the money for this event and email transfers can be sent to: <a href="mailto:pyettes@eastlink.ca" target="_blank">pyettes@eastlink.ca</a> . She will also be available at the homeschool meeting if you prefer to give cash instead.<br />

Please bring a little something to share.Central Valley Homeschoolershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02845664903519556183noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3700606102635957907.post-68342481094399013592015-05-11T10:02:00.001-03:002015-05-11T10:07:17.237-03:00A Day in the Life #2This week comes from a local homeschooling mother starting out on her new journey with her children.<br />
<br />
<br />
We are 6 months into our homeschooling journey. I withdrew my 10 yr old daughter from public school just before Christmas. We have been “finding our way” for a while. She is a self directed learner, which is great since I work about 50 hours a week running my in home childcare center, and also hold a volunteer position of chapter president of Cloth For A Cause N.S. Here is how our typical day goes: <br />
<br />
<u><b>6:00</b></u> - My first alarm goes off. If my 2.5 yr old is not already up for a while (she occasionally will be up at 4-5am), I usually take advantage of hitting the snooze button! <br />
<br />
<u><b>6:30</b></u> - No more hitting snooze, force myself up at this point! Put on some coffee and hop in the shower. <br />
<br />
<u><b>6:45 - 7:00ish</b></u> - Turn on some upbeat music and do a mad dash around the house cleaning up any leftover messes from the night before so parents are not bringing their little ones into a disaster zone, and then drink my coffee and catch up on personal & work emails. I also create “to-do” list at this time for my 10-yr-old (Her list includes 3 chores and about 5-6 school tasks) When we first started out we de-schooled for a while and worked on a lot of self-esteem building activities, positive thinking and dealing with anxiety. We still include a bit of that every day as well as other important life skills. She also works on Math, English/Grammar, French, and Science everyday. We do history/geography a couple times a week as well. <br />
<br />
<u><b>7:30</b></u> - Children that come to my daycare can start arriving anytime. (5-6 kiddos here daily including mine) <br />
<br />
My 10 yr old rolls out of bed around this time when it starts getting noisy in here and has some free time to do whatever she would like (which sometimes involves grumbling and taking cereal into her room and staring at the wall for a while to wake up, sometimes helping me prep our art activity for the morning, or make a fresh batch of playdough) <br />
<br />
<u><b>8:00</b></u> - 10 yr old chooses 2 items on her checklist to complete. Occasionally if in the mood she will do more... <br />
<br />
<u><b>9:00</b></u> - snack time (which is usually breakfast time for my girls, unless the 2.5yr old was up at 4am ;) ). While they eat I prep veggies and whatever else I need so its ready to throw together quickly for lunch later. <br />
<br />
<u><b>9:15</b></u> - Circle time, then Art happens now with my little ones. Circle time consists of fun songs, rhymes, a game or two and a story based on the current theme. A mix of sitting down and “get the wiggles out” songs. Sometimes my 10 yr old likes to lead this and join in on Art (Process based art experience), if not she will head to her room to work on her checklist. <br />
<br />
<u><b>10:00</b></u> - Everyone helps do a quick tidy up of toys and we head outside. The littles all head to the playground area and my 10 yr old often will go for a bike ride or climb a tree for a bit before joining us in the fenced in area. If its a nice day we often will head outside by 9 and eat snack/do circle time outside. I often bring a pile of laundry out to hang out, and a stack of paper work to attempt to do but not much gets done, I am to busy having fun with the kids. <br />
<br />
<u><b>11:30</b></u> - Time head inside for lunch and for my 10 yr old to check the mail! She loves going out to see if any postcards have arrived from postcrossing (she has about 20 now!). She will then check on our map and/or “google” the location where the postcard came from to see how far away it is and maybe look up a few facts. She occasionally will help me make lunch or hang out with the littles while I get lunch ready. <br />
<br />
<u><b>12:00</b></u> - Lunchtime! I serve lunch and then quickly sweep our play area (which is next to the dining area), close the curtains, put out nap mats down and turn on the rest music. Then I will serve “seconds” to everyone and sit down with them for a few bites and a chat :) <br />
<br />
<u><b>12:30</b></u> - Rest time. All the daycare kiddos nap and my 10 yr old and I have some one on one time to finish up her checklist, then she has “screen time” at 1:30. While she is having her screen time I also have mine! Hers usually consists of watching DIY videos on youtube and then go off crafting and making what she just saw, or maybe putting on some music and making up some new dance moves! Mine consists of Hot coffee and Checking emails, scrolling through facebook or maybe, just maybe a phone call to have some grown up conversation!!! <br />
<br />
I also take a few mins to jot down some notes from the morning on our tracking spreadsheet so I can see at a glance what we have done over the week, and what we may need to do more of. There are spots to make notes about each subject, outings, books read, educational show watched, etc. There is often much more to write down than just the items on her list. She will play “yoga teacher” or “gymnastics coach” to the preschoolers, read them stories, do lots of crafting/sewing/construction projects for her doll.<br />
<br />
<u><b>2:30</b></u> - Rest time is over for the daycare kiddos and I am busy changing diapers again/putting away nap mats, and prepping snack. <br />
<br />
<u><b>3:00</b></u> - Afternoon snack- fill our bellies, get cleaned up and head back outside until Moms & Dads come for pick-ups! <br />
<br />
<b><u>5:00</u></b> - Daycare kiddos are all gone by now. We often will run an errand or pick up my 10 yr old from choir or dance, have some supper and then play outside in our yard. Sometimes we take a picnic supper to a local park or short hiking trail nearby. Sometimes we head to library to pick up some new books or attend one of the evening programs. <br />
<br />
<u><b>8:30-9:00</b></u> - 10 yr old is ready for bed and heads off to read for 30 mins before lights out. <br />
<br />
-2.5 year old is often still full of energy and will usually be ready for bed between now and 9:30. <br />
<br />
