This week on Science of Kids
Hello Everyone!
I’m going to be writing a lot more- you may have already noticed. To not flood your inbox with emails, I’m going to send a weekly digest with links to all the articles posted that week. Just click on the title and away you’ll go! Articles will appear on the website as I post them but you won’t receive an email except once a week.
I’m also starting a personal blog about our adventures in homeschooling. I’ll talk about what we are reading, what science projects we are working on, how I make it work as a working homeschool mom. Since it’s personal with photos of our travels and things my kids are doing, I will be putting it under Premium, Paid only content. If you can’t afford the $5/month, reach out and I’m sure we can work something out! For the next few weeks, I’ll be writing about our month long journey to India. Coffee farming, ancient temples, elephant rides, it’s a beautiful ride.
I hope you find this new format of value.
with love

Integrative Education, where multiple subjects are combined, is the FUTURE. It cultivates critical thinkers by transcending the confines of individual school subjects
Sounds complicated, but it isn't. Here’s how to get started!

India: A Journey into Beautiful Chaos
It is hard to imagine it being worth the 36 hours of travel (2 planes and a 5 hour drive), but as I stand on my balcony looking at the luscious coffee plants and jackfruit trees, I can’t imagine being anywhere else.
