I cannot tell you how much joy it brings me to read with my teen boys (who are currently 15 and 18) and to challenge them with some classics that are conventionally not for teenage boys. 😍

The running commentary is not to be missed. 🀩

Just pick up a book and see what comes of it. If they are listening, I can guarantee, they won't be able to keep quiet. πŸ€ͺ

Old books tell us a lot about the time they were written and the norms of the culture and it provides a glorious talking point opportunity. πŸ“šβœ…

Science is my favorite! 🧬πŸ§ͺ How about you? L Science is my favorite! 🧬πŸ§ͺ

How about you? Lots of moms teaching high school tell me they're intimidated by high school science requirements. 😬

I understand.

It's a big deal to work in all the things your teen needs to know. πŸ‘Š

But, you know I'm all about approaching high school differently and science is no exception in our homeschool. 🀩

Right now, my Nature Journaling Course at the Masterpiece Society is at a discount. If you like the idea of approaching middle and high school biology or environmental science through the lens of nature journaling, this course is for you. πŸπŸ¦‹πŸŒΏπŸΎ

You'll find a mix of curiosity, observation, ecology, classification, and sketching with over 70 instructional videos and some surprises along the way. 🦊🐍

Reading with my teens is the single most valuable Reading with my teens is the single most valuable activity in our homeschool. πŸ“š 

Whether we are reading aloud together or reading in a book club style, fashioning our conversation around shared story worlds has given us countless opportunities for staying connected.πŸ˜πŸ™Œ

It doesn't have to be difficult literature. It doesn't have to meet the typical choice for teens and young adults. It doesn't even have to meet an expectation for what teen guys or girls might like. πŸ’™

Some of our best reading conversations happen when my teen boys read Little Women or Anne of Green Gables. I think my next reading adventure with them will be a Jane Austen title. You haven't lived until you hear the running commentary from your teens on classics like these! πŸ˜‚

Wilson Bentley was obsessed with the shapes of snowflakes and I can see why. Once you see one close up, you want to keep searching for new designs!

But, you need a cold and snowy day well below freezing to see the best ones. 🌨🌬

Will they be ripe enough in January? πŸ’™β„οΈ

I sure hope so because I upgraded from a compound light microscope to a stereo dissecting scope to increase my field of vision and capture a whole snowflake! β„οΈπŸ”¬
