Make Reading More Engaging for Children

This post may contain affiliate links. See disclosure. Check out my suggested resources.

September 23, 2020 By Jennifer Lambert Leave a Comment

Learning to read is one of the most important skills young children can acquire. The ability to read fluently is essential for children, but it does not always come easily. In order to motivate youngsters, teachers and parents must find innovative ways to make reading more engaging and fun for them. If you are looking for new and creative ways to get your students more interested in reading, consider the ideas presented in this guide.

Top 3 Ways To Make Reading More Engaging for Children

Choose the Right Books

One of the biggest reasons students avoid reading is because they do not enjoy the topics of the books given to them. Reading is difficult enough for young learners, and it can be made tiresome if they feel forced to read something they just do not like. You can help push your pupils in the right direction by choosing books that are interesting and exciting to them. Consider polling your students and asking about things that they find fascinating. Then, be sure to stock your library with books relevant to the subjects they like.

Supplement Reading with Manipulatives

Before children can start reading longer passages such as essays and books, they must first learn to master the basics of word and sentence structure. This includes understanding phonics and spelling, which can take years of instruction and practice. Manipulatives are a great way to learn by using various objects for guided and explorative play. Using reading manipulatives can give your students hands-on methods to work through phonics, word families and spelling prior to reading a new book. Consider using these tools to identify key vocabulary words the children will see in the book they are going to read.

Incorporate Dramatics and Art

Reading a new story also pairs well with artistic expression. Drawing pictures of key moments in the narrative can promote the use of critical thinking and creativity. You can use the pictures to outline the plot, describe the main character or depict a child’s favorite part of the book. Acting out the story can be incredibly fun for students and gives them a great chance to explore their expressive sides. Pairing reading with these fun extracurricular activities can add a new layer of enjoyment to something that could seem tedious otherwise. This can also help them get more excited about reading new stories in the future.

Although it may seem difficult at first, reading can become exciting and entertaining for students. Consider using one or more of these ideas to instill a love for reading in your children.

Vincent van Gogh Unit Study

This post may contain affiliate links. See disclosure. Check out my suggested resources.

September 21, 2020 By Jennifer Lambert 8 Comments

I have always loved Vincent van Gogh and his paintings. I am thrilled to share that love with my children.

I love teaching art history and about art even though I don’t consider myself a creative artist. See how we do art in our homeschool.

I would love to travel to southern France to see all the places he painted and walk in his footsteps.

We find it interesting all the different way to pronounce his name:

van-GOH (the most common in North America)

van-GOFF (in England)

van-GOKH and vun-KHOKH (which comes closest to the Dutch).

He’s one of our favorite artists.

As my kids get older and we revisit lessons every few years, we discuss mental illness and STI. We know that van Gogh suffered and committed suicide. He had tinnitus and other health problems like scurvy, perhaps epilepsy. Some speculate he may have contracted syphilis and certainly had mental health problems. We know that his brother Theo died from complication with syphilis.

The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant…And we definitely added to his pile of good things.

The Doctor in Vincent and the Doctor – Doctor Who: Season 5, Episode 10

When we got to visit The Netherlands, we knew we wanted to see his paintings in person!

When we went to Keukenhof, the entire theme was Vincent van Gogh and there was a floral mosaic, a selfie garden, and static displays of his paintings.

The mosaic hadn’t bloomed yet in March. I’ll bet it was amazing!

We had so much fun in the selfie garden.

The static displays recreated the paintings and were absolutely magnificent!

We went to the van Gogh museum in Amsterdam. It holds the most van Gogh works.

Some favorites:

My son loved seeing the boats from his Art Ditto card game.

The kids got to see Sunflowers!

They were so jealous I had seen it the year before when I visited London for a conference.

My youngest daughter’s favorite is The Potato Eaters.

We were thrilled to see the Impressionist exhibit, including many van Gogh at the National Gallery when we visited London the next year.

van Gogh’s Self-Portrait and The Bedroom is at the Art Institute of Chicago and we loved to see it when we moved back to The States!

The goal now is to travel to New York to see Starry Night.

Art Projects

I allow my kids freedom of expression and making messes to learn and experiment and play with arts and crafts.

I love how my middle daughter made this scene out of Wikki Stix!

We drew sunflowers with chalk pastels.

We practiced drawing with pots of petunias and a still life of our breakfast table.

My girls have gotten very talented with watercolors, but we haven’t ventured into oils yet.

Hawaii Unit Study

This post may contain affiliate links. See disclosure. Check out my suggested resources.

September 14, 2020 By Jennifer Lambert 2 Comments

We lived in Hawaii for three years. We loved it.

But we realized we were temporary, other, haoles in Paradise, and it wasn’t our land. Looking back, I realize there was so much more I could have learned, done, thought.

My girls were very young and I can make amends now as we learn about the history and culture of Hawaii. The kids don’t even remember it.

Our Travels Around Hawaii

  • Big Island Hawaii with Kids
  • Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
  • Maui with Kids

  • Honolulu with Kids

  • Makahiki – Thanksgiving in Hawaii
  • Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day

My son chose the place of his birth for our homeschool geography fair.

We still had a lot of Hawaiian items from when we lived there.

He was so happy to talk to people about his birth place!

Hawaiian history and culture is complicated. We watched the news and social media with trepidation as the National Guard moved in on protestors at Mauna Kea for the site location of the Thirty Meter Telescope. We agree with Native Hawaiians and feel love and aloha in our hearts for them and their land. Some books may seem offensive to people unfamiliar with Hawaii and colonialism that has affected these beautiful islands and people.

Constitution Unit Study

This post may contain affiliate links. See disclosure. Check out my suggested resources.

September 7, 2020 By Jennifer Lambert 10 Comments

I want to teach my kids US history, government, citizenship.

I don’t want the US government curriculum to be nationalist, fundamentalist, or evangelical.

I’m not sure when many Americans began equating white Republican Jesus with the white male president, right wing government officials, and media, with removing or reducing social programs, but that’s not my religion.

I want unbiased materials and we’re leaning more and more towards secular curriculum to get the true picture of history.

On September 17, 1787, the Founding Fathers signed the most influential document in American history, the United States Constitution.

As we approach Constitution Week, September 17-23, here are some fun educational materials available at no cost to homeschoolers.

A More or Less Perfect Union is a three-part PBS series hosted by Senior Federal Appeals DC Circuit Court Judge Douglas Ginsburg. The series features 17 Constitutional experts weighing in on hot button topics around the document that governs those who govern us.  It aired earlier this year and is schedule to re-air on public television on Sept. 13 at 9 p.m. ET. It is also available on Amazon Prime and PBS.org, if you are a member. It can be watched for free now. It is best suited for high school level students.

Imagine having a discussion with George Washington and Ben Franklin today. Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg sat down with each historic figure to discuss the Constitution, what succeeded and what failed, slavery, education, and even air conditioning and deodorant! Meet the Framers are fascinating, educational and entertaining conversations that shouldn’t be missed.

Judge Ginsburg worked with izzit.org, an online teacher resource, to develop civics educational materials to teach about the Constitution.   The materials include a week-long course on The U.S. Constitution & Black History, a 16-minute teaching unit, Becoming Equal Under the Law, and a number of Teachable Moments (short video clips designed to encourage discussions).

For younger students, the Pups of Liberty series (The Boston T-Bone Party  and The Dog-claration of Independence) are delightful.

A new teaching unit on the First Amendment is recently released.

This is all available to educators at no cost!

Raising Global Teens

This post may contain affiliate links. See disclosure. Check out my suggested resources.

September 1, 2020 By Jennifer Lambert Leave a Comment

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month.

Suicide is the second-leading cause of death among teens, and experts are fearing the worst as young adults prepare to face unknown challenges that the return of school may bring – from coping with varying curricula, stressing over grades, and continued social isolation from friends and trusted teachers.

I have suffered from depression since I was about 12 years old. My husband has anxiety. At least two of my daughters experience anxiety and/or depression. We know that mental health issues can be hereditary. My parents and grandparents and my husband’s family members surely were affected and never diagnosed.

We have lived all over. I made it my goal to raise Global children.

We experienced Hawaii for three years, which is very like a foreign country. We as a white family were very much a minority there and loved learning about the history and culture.

We lived in Germany for three years, and were lucky to travel all over Europe to learn and experience the history and culture.

We experienced culture shock when we settled in Dayton, Ohio, three years ago. It’s still hard sometimes to fit in.

The pandemic quarantine hasn’t really affected our family like many others since our lifestyle is very simple, minimalist, and self-sufficient. But there are times that it’s still hard.

In her book Raising Global Teens, Dr. Anisha Abraham analyzes key subjects facing today’s teens, in the context of our modern, mobile world. 

How can we help cross-cultural teens stay happy, healthy, and balanced particularly in a time of uncertainty and a global pandemic? 

  • Stop Comparing – Reminding teens that no one is perfect. Everyone is “uneven”, meaning they excel in some areas, but not others, and that is OK.
  • Time Management – Encouraging teens to set goals, prioritize tasks, break large assignments into smaller steps, work for designated time periods and take  breaks, and use a reminder system for deadlines.
  • Unwinding – Making sure teens take time to fill their “anti-stress toolbox” with healthy ways to unwind. This could be as simple as talking to trusted friends or watching a funny show.
  • Mind & Body Care – Ensuring teens are getting adequate sleep, eating well, and exercising to regulate mood and energy levels.
  • Resilience – Supporting teens during these times of uncertainty and  helping them to build resilience and get “bounce”
  • Conversations – Having important conversations with teens about challenging topics such as pubertal changes, sexting, vaping, planning for the future and more
  • Signs of Depression & Suicide Risk – Understanding warning signs which include: mood swings, withdrawal, poor sleeping or appetite, trouble with memory and concentration, talking or writing about suicide, and giving away belongings.
  • Getting Help – Knowing when and where to get professional support  if you believe your teen is depressed or suicidal

Globalization has given many of us unparalleled opportunities to work, travel, fall in love, and raise kids all over the world. But it has made being a teen more complicated than ever. Imagine having to discover your identity and place in the world when you keep having to move communities, your parents are from different backgrounds, you’re exposed to multiple cultures daily or faced with challenges such as global warming and pandemics. How can we help these teens be happy, healthy, and resilient.

Raising Global Teens explores the hot topics adolescents experience today: identity, social media, body image, traumatic events, puberty, drugs and stress all in the context of our modern, mobile world. In this easy-to-read handbook, Dr. Anisha combines real-world examples with practical solutions, drawing on the latest research, her own experience and that of the many cross-cultural teens she has worked with over the last 25 years. Raising Global Teens enables busy families, health providers, and educators apply powerful tools to help today’s adolescents thrive.

Labor Day Unit Study

August 24, 2020 By Jennifer Lambert 5 Comments

Labor Day is not just the official end of summer.

Labor Day is a federal holiday in the United States celebrated on the first Monday in September to honor and recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements of the United States.

The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, in accordance with the plans of the Central Labor Union. The Central Labor Union held its second Labor Day holiday just a year later, on September 5, 1883.

By 1894, 23 more states had adopted the holiday. Congress passed an act making the first Monday in September of each year a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and the territories. On June 28, 1894, President Grover Cleveland signed a law making the first Monday in September of each year a national holiday.

All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.     

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Because we have suffered, and we are not afraid to suffer in order to survive, we are ready to give up everything — even our lives — in our struggle for justice. We draw our strength from the very despair in which we have been forced to live. We shall endure. When a man or woman, young, or old, takes a place on the picket line for even a day or two, he will never be the same again.  

Cesar Chavez

How can you support workers?

No one really cares what you post on social media or clapping or being honored at a parade or event. Workers need and want tangible rewards for doing what they do – better conditions, higher pay, protections for illness or injury, security. Respect their dignity.

Make sure you tip well. More than 20%. Don’t be insulting or rude. Service is a very difficult job.

Gifts for the services you use and appreciate most. Keep in mind that most workers can technically only accept gifts equally up to $20 or less. Don’t embarrass them or put them in an awkward position. A gift card, a homemade treat, a caffeine drink, a token is much appreciated.

Vote. Protest. Support public officials, government agencies, and private organizations who protect wage workers and their benefits.

Speak up and teach. Our kids need to see us fighting injustice. They need to know we are not silent and complicit.

Sambucol Black Elderberry Gummies Review

This post may contain affiliate links. See disclosure. Check out my suggested resources.

August 17, 2020 By Jennifer Lambert Leave a Comment

I received this product for free from Moms Meet (momsmeet.com) to use and post my honest opinions. Compensation for this post was provided and this page may contain affiliate links.

I love all the fun goodies we got for the review! The elderberry stress ball is probably my favorite.

We received Sambucol® Black Elderberry gummies, syrup, and drink powder.

We love elderberry and elderflower! They smell sweet and taste delicious.

The Sambucol® Black Elderberry gummies are perfect.

They taste great! They’re small enough for small hands and mouths. They smell great! We have to remember these are not candy and not treats.

They remind me a little bit of berry or grape gummy snacks in texture and flavor. They were a big hit with the whole family!

Sambucol® Black Elderberry syrup was not good at all.

It didn’t smell good. It tasted like bad medicine. We were very disappointed with the thick texture and flavor and scent.

Sambucol® Black Elderberry Daily Immune Drink Powder is a great way get the benefits of elderberry and stay hydrated.

The drink powder smells great, like the gummies.

Adding about 4 ounces of cold water, the powder dissolved almost completely, even without stirring. It tastes great and my daughter and I loved it! It was similar to but better than grape drinks.

We love the Sambucol® Black Elderberry Gummies and the Sambucol® Black Elderberry Daily Immune Drink Powder.

Sambucol®, the original Black Elderberry extract, provides strong immune
system support to help you and your family stay healthy throughout the
year. Sambucol® Black Elderberry extract conveniently arms you with
some of the best protection nature has to offer. Sambucol® is a unique
black elderberry extract rich in immune supporting flavonoids. Sambucol®
is made from black elderberries which have twice the natural antioxidant
capacity of blueberries and more than 50% the overall antioxidant
capability of cranberries.

Did you know?

Both the flowers and berries have a long tradition of culinary and folk medicinal uses going back thousands of years. In fact, Hippocrates (often
called the father of medicine) called elderberry a medicine chest because of its seemingly endless health benefits and usability.

The stem, bark, leaves, flowers, berries, and root extracts of the plant are all used in traditional folk medicine There are even some elderberry-based recipes dating as far back as Ancient Egypt!

I do not recommend harvesting or using the wild flowers or berries. They can be poisonous if not properly prepared. It’s safer to buy the products from a reputable source!

Just the facts:

• Sambucol® Black Elderberry Gummies offer natural immune support.
• Black Elderberry is high in antioxidants and has been used for
thousands for years.
• Sambucol® gummies are pectin based, sweetened only with pure cane
sugar, and contain no artificial flavors or colors.
• They are gluten, nut, soy, dairy, and egg free.
• The gummies are suitable for vegetarians and vegans and can be
used by adults and children from four years old.
• There is only 1 g of sugar per gummy.
• One 30-count bottle of Sambucol® Black Elderberry Gummies typically
retails for $12.99 and a 60-count bottle for $24.99.

Where to purchase:

Sambucol® Black Elderberry Gummies are available to purchase at
Walmart, Target, CVS, Walgreens, GNC, The Vitamin Shoppe, Ralphs,
Vons, Safeway, and Kroger. To find a store near you, visit: sambucolusa.

Jurassic Quest at Coney Island Amusement Park

This post may contain affiliate links. See disclosure. Check out my suggested resources.

August 17, 2020 By Jennifer Lambert 1 Comment

Our dinosaurs are ready and raring to return from extinction. After sold out weekends in San Antonio, Dallas, OKC, and Detroit, we will now be migrating to Cincinnati, OH, August 21 – August 30, with our FIRST EVER JURASSIC DRIVE-THRU!  

The nation’s best touring dinosaur exhibit has been transformed into an interactive drive-thru experience, featuring over 70 moving and life-like dinosaurs, as well as our 50 foot-long Megalodon!  The drive-thru experience has seen over 100,000 cars and 400,000 people in attendance since launching the national tour in mid-July.   Although the drive-thru experience means guests will stay safe inside their vehicle, you’ll still need to watch out for the swinging tail of our 80 foot-long Spinosaurus! 

The Jurassic Quest Drive Thru is the only place to encounter some of the largest dinosaurs to ever roam the earth, and some of the eeriest marine creatures to ever lurk the ocean’s depths, from the safety of your family vehicle. Cincinnati guests will be among the first in the nation to go on a quest with our online audio tour that will lead them throughout the thrilling dinosaur safari.

Currently touring as a Drive-Thru only. The largest and most realistic dinosaur exhibition in North America. Now with new animatronic water dwellers, Jurassic Quest is the only dinosaur event that has up to 100, true to life-sized dinosaur replicas from the very small, to the gigantic, to those found under the sea. Guests will witness their favorite dinosaurs move, roar and roam and have the chance to interact with baby dinosaurs and adolescent dinosaurs, including the T. Rex, Spinosaurus, Triceratops and many others. With the addition of Ancient Oceans, guests will also be able to “swim” with our 50 foot long, prehistoric Megalodon!

For $49 per vehicle (9 people or fewer), your dino crew can time-travel and enjoy about an hour-long ride back in time.

Happening at the spacious Coney Island Amusement Park, Jurassic Quest worked in collaboration with leading paleontologists to ensure each dinosaur was painstakingly replicated in every detail. Guests will have the chance to drive through realistic scenes, without leaving their own vehicles, depicting how we understand dinosaurs looked and moved!

In addition to the life-like dinosaur exhibits, there will be opportunities to visit with our one-of-a-kind baby dinosaurs and our team of dino trainers as well as the chance to capture the moment with a safari-style photo of your vehicle and family transported back in time via a Jurassic setting complete with a dinosaur backdrop.

All attendees will leave with the same bragging rights, “We Survived Jurassic Quest 2020!” One photo per family is FREE and included in ticket purchase.

We will continue to take extra precautionary measures to provide a clean and safe event. Guests are to remain in vehicles and to wear masks in the event they exit the vehicle in allowed areas, including complimentary restrooms and the Dino Store.

Social distancing rules will be requested of all guests and maintained by Jurassic Quest crew. We will be sanitizing equipment, dinosaurs, and workstations more frequently and thoroughly throughout the entirety of the event. Our employees will be applying hand sanitizer and washing their hands regularly throughout each day, in addition to wearing masks. Guest safety and enjoyment is our top priority.

Those willing to take the challenge and join our Cincinnati Drive Thru Quest will need to buy tickets in advance online at www.jurassicquest.com. Tickets are $49 per vehicle. Guests must travel through the drive-thru in the comfort of their own vehicle – no rentals or golf carts will be provided and walkers are not allowed. To ensure participant safety, all guests must ride inside their vehicles (yes, pets inside vehicles are allowed), no riders in truck beds, however. Trailers are also not allowed – we’re worried they might tempt the hungry dinos too much! Oversized vehicles and vehicles with more than 9 riders are allowed but will need to contact Customer Service, customerservice@jurassicquest.com, for pricing and scheduling.  A full list of Frequently Asked Questions can be found online, https://www.jurassicquest.com/drive-thru-faqs. For more information and to buy tickets visit www.JurassicQuest.com.  Whether they are big or small, young or old, guests of Jurassic Quest have a dino-mite time!

Our Review

We attended Jurassic Quest as a family on the morning of Friday, August 21, 2020.

I will say I was a little apprehensive going with my kids who are older – ages 10, 13, and 14. I was concerned they would be too old and find it silly, but I needn’t have worried! We all loved it!

We found the entrance easily with our GPS app.

We thought the audio tour was wonderful. Great information, storytelling, and fun asides about William Shakespeare and Pluto. We laughed so hard we almost had to rewind it.

I do recommend best viewing out the driver’s side but the path zig zags through so everyone gets a good look.

We were impressed with the animatronic dinosaurs in their displays. We drove through and never felt rushed. I don’t think there was anyone behind us at all.

There were sounds for many dinosaurs, even though we can only speculate what they could have sounded like based on current animals that may have similar features.

We loved seeing all the different dinosaurs sorted into their various geological periods.

There are carnivores and herbivores, feathered, furred, flying, and swimming dinosaurs.

We were thrilled to see a life-size megalodon.

Oh no! This T Rex got hungry for Triceratops!

Thankfully, the companion Triceratops is ready to defend!

Watch out for the runaway T Rex!

High School Homeschool

This post may contain affiliate links. See disclosure. Check out my suggested resources.

August 17, 2020 By Jennifer Lambert 6 Comments

I graduated my eldest daughter from our homeschool a few years ago.

Her homeschool high school years were exciting for us all, and unique since we lived in Germany at the time.

My two middle girls are entering their high school years.

I feel a little more comfortable for our second round.

We’re adding more multicultural and social justice books to our reading lists. I am much more relaxed.

More and more, I am watching them walk away from me.

What Homeschool High School Looks Like for Us the Second Time

We’re trying to max out their academic transcripts with 4 English, 4 Social Studies, 4 Math, and 4 Science.

My girls have already completed General science, Physical science, and Biology from Apologia.

We use Tapestry of Grace for humanities with a 4-year history cycle. Tapestry of Grace offers lovely descriptions for each thread to help with transcripts.

Electives are religion, art, cooking, sports, and foreign language.

My girls are 13 and 14 this year and we homeschool year-round so we don’t have to rush.

They expect to complete all my requirements around age 16, like their older sister did. They want to get part-time jobs, volunteer, explore hobbies, perhaps pursue dual college enrollment locally until beginning college full-time. And we don’t pressure about college.
