How has your life changed since you learned about coronavirus? We can’t go to any stores like grocery stores to see my friends, library for books, playgrounds, and the laundromat to see my friend (worker) Who gives me money to play video games. 😜 What do you miss? Wildings collective and school to see all …
An Interview with Wilder
How has your life changed since you learned about Coronavirus?Just kinda boring. There's not that much to do that's exciting. We can't go to my aunt's birthday at the cabin in the woods. We get to check on dad because at least he's not at work. He's just hanging out in the basement, sleeping in …
COVID-19 Break
We're going to suspend formal activities in our usual space for several weeks. This missing week will tack onto our schedule at the end of May. I'm hoping to reunite on April 1, but we'll keep in touch and see how long the crazy lasts. In the meantime, gather your supplies for the best fairy …
March 11 – Family Trees
We'll expore our family's heritage, starting with you, the mama.

Tutorials for this project are here and there's a video here for prize-winning technique – you know, for when we …

February 26 – Solar System + Snow Forts
We'll do these things in whatever order the kids want, probably based on the cold. Brings lots of tea, chai or hot chocolate mix! This week we'll let the kids organize a balloon planet series, hung from the ceiling and labelled, with stars and orbiting moons, for the kids to walk around and under. Please …
Lots of math in play going on, plus some nails and wood. We also played outdoors, not pictured because I am lazy.
February 12 – Physical Fractions + Symmetry
We can make these paper plate fractions from here. More ideas for fractions here. Less a lesson than a way to interest kids in math all around us, we're digging into basic concepts in physical ways.
