Home school is community learning

One of our learning projects - Tomales Bay clean-up - content for: social studies, math, art, science, language arts, civics. All those areas of study with bonus: adventure, happiness, freedom, good works.

We presented a slideshow and talk at the College of Marin in 2006. You can search an IJ article about this by looking for this title: Turning the simple life into art in Inverness (September 21, 2006)

Constructing the Universe


Michael Schneider's book Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe: Mathematical Archetypes of Nature, Art, and Science, A Voyage from 1 to 10 reveals the symbolic in the everyday. I've used this book in years past with children as young as 6 and with a wide range of ages within a single math class. It is practical and profound at the same time, as numbers are.

In the last year, Michael opened a classroom in San Anselmo. I recently arranged a class for students grades 6 through 9 there.
