The three of us are enjoying the new 2016 - 2017 school year. We started classes back after Labor day. This year Jaedan is a 7th grader and Malik is in the 11th. Here are a few highlights from the last two months.
This school year I decided to relocate our S.T.E.M supplies to our dining room. Last year every thing was upstairs in our makers lab closet organized but not easy to access. Now I feel we can be more productive with our learning.
My boys are kinesthetic learners which means they learn through touching, feeling, experiencing the material at hand. Their education is morea hands-on approach; with manipulatives and other "props" incorporated into almost all our school subjects.
Our makers lab is equipped with the latest technology and constantly being updated. I consider reading and research a part of my job description among other things. I really enjoy learning with my boys as I have always had a love for technology.
For this school year we purchased a XYZprinting Da Vinci 1.0 3D Printer. I look forward to teaching the boys the fundamentals as their adventure in the 3D world begins.
