Our Buzzing Homeschool

Don't get caught up trying to fit your homeschool into someone else's box. Make it whatever works best for your unique family.

What palindromes do you remember? 👇
This Sunday night I can only recall a few ones in Russian 😊

Fun fact!

Happy Father’s Day weekend! 🎉
Check out this list of family-friendly events and activities happening across Toronto this weekend️!

Education isn't one-size-fits-all. Families deserve the freedom to choose the environment where their children can truly thrive. 🤍

Ten Frame manipulatives are a must-have for building number sense! 🔢
I've had these durable plastic ones since my time working with students before the pandemic, but you can easily draw your own or find free printables online. 🌐
Also, at that stage, we made it a priority to combine math and Russian reading to save some time! 📚 ELA was a separate subject.

Outdoor-schooling time - love it! 😍

*Mental math - ten frames manupulatives and Peterson workbook in Russian *
*English - The Good and The Beautiful *

If you're looking for light summer learning or some extra math and English reinforcement, this workbook combo worked well for us at gr3–4 level ☀️📚

Whether your kids attend school or you homeschool, it's important to keep practicing in some way even over the break.

What are you using for summer learning? 👇

Happy Monday!
It feels like a good time to check in.
Are you still homeschooling or already on summer break?

We homeschool lightly year-round, but the last few weeks have been super busy 🤯
On top of all our routine and appointments I've been wrapping up the school year with my students, scheduling, and planning for summer and fall semesters for both my daughter and my students.
Also, my mom is visiting, and somehow grandma makes Miss D too relaxed about our homeschool routine, so we're taking it easy this month.

We're currently using the
🔸 Complete Curriculum book as a spine, supplementing it with
🔸 Big Words for Little Kids for extra vocabulary work, as well as
🔸 Balance Benders for algebraic thinking.
🎨Our social studies are still inspired by the current AGO exhibit, Making Her Mark
