Hi! I'm Leslie- a homeschooling momma to an almost 5 year old girl (seriously can't believe I just typed that) and 17 month old boy. The 2 are as different as night and day. I share our adventures here to both inspire learning at home and chronicle our lives, because honestly, I never started the baby books and my kids will just have to look back on their childhood through this blog... ha #keepinitreal. In my life before being a homeschool preschool momma, I was a public education teacher. I taught 3rd, 4th, 6th grades (all subjects), and high school Art. You can read about those days here, Creating "Wonder" in learning can be tough in public school, but it's one of my most favorite things to observe in my preschooler. As we explored waterfalls, I got to see that wonder again and again. We've been using Mother Goose Time as our preschool curriculum for almost 3 years, and this month is all about Bubbles, Boats, and Floats! Our STEAM station on Waterfall Day suggested going outside to do this activity. Anytime I can take learning outdoors, I try to do it! Who says learning has to be at a desk inside all day anyway? Grab some spray bottles and put different colored water in each one. I put water in our bottles and added these liquid watercolors. They are my FAVE, but you could definitely use food coloring. Using primary colors (red, yellow, and blue) will lead to the best results, and a great experiment in color mixing! I just used red (turned more pinkish) and blue since I only had 2 bottles. I used some long copy paper and the kids got right to work spraying the top of the paper and watching the water drip down like a waterfall. I love this picture below! Look at them observing the paper... even little brother got in on it! They began to notice that the water kept going down the same path and eventually it tore. They noticed the tear before I did. "Why did it break?" our little friend visiting asked. This led to a great discussion about how powerful water is! I wanted my girl and her little buddy to each have some artwork to hang on the walls at home, so I got out some watercolor paper- one for each of them and attached it to the fence just like the long piece of copy paper. They then took turns spraying the papers and watching the water trickle down. What did they learn? -Water is powerful. It can tear and break things. -Water always goes down. -Water likes to go down the same path over and over. -When red and blue mix, it creates purple. We had so much fun! I am so thankful MGT has all these wonderful ideas I can pull from to create fun learning experiences for my kids (and their friends)! Honestly, my brain is fried by the time they go to bed, and the thought of creating a lesson from scratch each and everyday makes that fried brain, spin. If you are looking to make learning fun, check out Mother Goose Time! You can see our adventures daily on our Facebook page, and if you are on Pinterest, you can follow me here or pin the image below. :) Happy Learning, friends!

This week, 1st grade is learning how to weave, and reviewing the order of the rainbow! We were inspired by the awesome art teacher, Olivia Gay, and wanted to try it out for ourselves! You can check out all the cool stuff she does on her art teacher instagram account! Here's how we made them! Materials: 9x12" 60 lb paper scissors 18" strips of Tru-Ray construction paper Roy G. Biv video Day 1: We talk about weaving, and the colors of the rainbow. We watch a quick clip of the "They Might Be Giants, Roy G. Biv" video, and then I start demonstrating! Here are some folks tracing their clouds. (I tried to get them to draw their bumpy lines, but their clouds turned out to be too small to weave with) So, I made them some cloud tracers to trace! I show them how to trace, fold, and cut their paper to make their cloud loom. Make sure they cut on the folded line! Then I demonstrate how to weave! Just go over & under, and over & under! Make sure on the next color, you do the opposite of what the previous line did. Quite a few of them finished in one 45 minute class. This is also a great lesson for us art on a cart people too! The kids were challenged, but happy with the results! Here are some beautiful rainbows! DISCLOSURE: LINKS TO PRODUCTS ARE AFFILIATE LINKS, WHICH MEANS I GET A SMALL COMPENSATION FOR SALES.

DISCLAIMER: I am offering these lessons, handouts and videos to you for free. PLEASE do not take my lessons and sell them. Because that would be super crappy of you (yes, someone is doing this. Yes, they are super crappy). Thank you. Going to NAEA in Boston next week? Need some sub plans? Y'all, I got you COVERED! Today I'm sharing my favorite VIDEO sub plans and my tips and tricks to planning for being out. There's nothing like the amount of WORK you gotta do just to take some time off. I'm here to make your life a little easier, I hope. So, without further ado, my Top Ten Sub Plans! Let me just start by saying that the sub plans I am sharing were created for my kindergarten through fourth grade kids. I ALWAYS make a lesson that's age appropriate for all my classes. This makes my prep life so much easier and the life of the sub all the better. For more tips and tricks, check out this video! Lessons like this require a lotta prep. Yeah, I will be keeping it much easier this time. More about how I prep for a sub can be found in this blog post. 1. James Rizzi Cities! This sub plan was a huge hit with all of my kiddos. They started it while I was away and I was able to easily slide back in to a low-mess/low-stress project for them to continue. Lesson, handouts and video can be found here! 2. Loud Mouth Collages! My kids thought these were the most fun ever...while I thought they were the most funniest ever. Complete video lesson and plans here! 3. A Colorful Village! Again this is another lesson that the kids work on while I'm away and we finish up with oil pastel and watercolor when I return. Easy, fun and super colorful. Video and lesson here! 4. Chris Uphues Inspired Hearts! Who doesn't love Chris Uphues and his happy artwork?! My kids love learning about him. I've not only got a video lesson but I have a short clip of an interview I did with Chris and his wife Jen. More here! 5. I am a Super Star! This lessons is so fun...it really incorporates so much, from mixed media to literacy to a good ole boost to the self esteem! I DID ask the sub to make the stars for the kindergarten before they arrived because I'm not that crazy. Lesson here! 6. Collage Monsters! Another fun lesson that the kids really enjoyed. This one required more prep than most, just an FYI. Complete details and video here! 7. Kerri Ambrosino-Inspired Still Life! Need a pop of colorful happy for spring? Try this sub plan on for size. So fun and we busted out the PUFFY PAINT! Lesson here. 8. Wings Mural! I know, you've seen it a thousand times...but the lesson originated here! The feathers were created while I was out on jury duty, I believe...and then we assembled it when I returned. Lesson and video here. 9. Britto-Inspired Collaborative! I love having the kids work on collaboratives when I'm out. It means we have a big beautiful work of art to hang when I return! Lesson video and details all right here! 10. Monochromatic Self Portraits! Lastly, here's a lesson that's always a hit: monochromatic self portraits. We love hanging these in rainbow order for a beautiful display. Have your kiddos follow along with me in this video! There are PLENTY more lessons and videos on my YouTube channel so be sure and give those a glance if none of these strike your fancy. And be sure to subscribe, I upload videos and content all the time. If you are gonna be in Boston, see you there!
