Another year in the self-directed learning world and our programming seems to be evolving and changing with every new person that enters the center. Each family helps our hearts to grow and expand, welcoming new learning styles and passions. Our days seem to flow from one activity to the next, each learner getting the opportunity to try or teach something new. It is becoming the place we promised - a space for crazy creativity, innovative ideas, and lots and lots of PLAY!
We are grateful to all the educators, families, and especially students (our greatest teachers) who continue to act as guides on this journey...
2022
JANUARY
new families, cardboard architecture, creative legos, tea parties
Looking back on this month, it is apparent that many of our continued daily practices began at this time. We started so many offerings that were asked for again and again each week. The tea parties were a highlight of the week. Every one looked forward to learning about and sampling the latest herbal tisane!
FEBRUARY
superheroes, science, + story time
(and the Settlers of Catan obsession begins...)
Our small homeschool learning pod continued to grow and our story time became a success! Learners explored new games and creative legos continued to inspire. Science and art really flourished throughout this month, especially when taught together.
MARCH
spring time fun - bees, rainbows, + our sapna stay-cation!
Meeting up with our Sapna families at some of our favorite places around Northeast Florida was such a great way to celebrate the start of spring! From a scavenger hunt in St. Augustine to a puzzle hunt at the Cummer Museum, we truly enjoyed sharing these places with our families and getting to know them a little better.
