@laurenTarshis I’m currently homeschooling my 6 year old who would love nothing more. He currently has a running list of disaster suggestions for you to write about.

After 3 days of work, a ton of perseverance, teamwork, and sheer determination we had two groups get their buzzer and light to work simultaneously! They were able to bring energy to homes with @SmithsonianScie #soproudofthem

For Arctic week we made snow in the middle of summer! ❄️

[Rachel Coleman @coleman_class]

How much fun can we fit into 3 hours?? - Successfully baked s’mores in our solar ovens ✅
- Completed our 3rd @SmithsonianScie lesson ✅
- Used a thesaurus and went fishing for synonyms ✅
Can’t wait to continue the Summer Academy adventure with these kiddos!

Started off “Forest Week” by constructing solar ovens and working on some camping synonyms. Crossing our fingers for some sun to make s’mores in our ovens! 🏕 #summerfun

Always one of my favorite stations with the best reactions of awe and wonder #energyinmotion @SmithsonianScie

Day 3 of Summer Academy featured working at the “ocean” on our beach towels, playing Pictionary, and observing energy in action #thesekidsrock

[Rachel Coleman @coleman_class]

Breaking into our @SmithsonianScie kit. These engineers are excited for all the challenges coming their way!

Started our week off with a reading train, making some music, and finally got to our map skills. #thesearethedays #mondaymorningfun

Not sure how we got here so fast, but someone is excited for the 2021-2022 school year. Look out kindergarten!🧑🏼‍🏫#herehecomes #babiesdontkeep

@LPlanck910 Anytime! Harrison would be in heaven. We also get a lot of practice with the practical skill of tuning out distractions (aka the babbling/screeching baby in the room) 😂

[Rachel Coleman @coleman_class]

Working through our math problems this morning. When he was finished he insisted he would give me a problem to complete and taught me how to do it. #everyoneisateacher #everyoneisalearner #homeschoollife

[Rachel Coleman @coleman_class]

Full day of school and fun! #thesearethedays

[Rachel Coleman @coleman_class]

Mom’s not the only one who needed coffee this morning. I hear it makes comprehension passages easier to manage 😜

[Rachel Coleman @coleman_class]

Spent this snowy day saving some frozen groundhogs and curled up with a book. #homeschoolingmom #thesearethedays

[Rachel Coleman @coleman_class]

To say we’re enjoying homeschooling would be a gross understatement. #homeschoolingfun #homeschoolingmom

[Rachel Coleman @coleman_class]

Spent the day delivering cookies, with my little elves, to some of the hardest working people I know. #iworkwiththebest #raisekindhumans

[Rachel Coleman @coleman_class]

Living that homeschool life. Cherishing these moments and smiles. #homeschoolingmom #homeschoolfun

[Rachel Coleman @coleman_class]

Spreading some Christmas cheer while making cards for nursing home residents. Hoping to be able to deliver them in person next year. 🎄#raisekindhumans #homeschoolingmom #glittereverywhere

As the new school year begins I think about how fortunate I am to be spending it at home with my boys. Sending so much strength and positivity to my amazing colleagues and students who are going to make this year one to remember. #YouGotThis
