Rebel Kids Homeschool: The Tracy Aviary
http://rebelkidshomeschool.blogspot.com/2012/05/tracy-aviary.html
Monday, May 21, 2012. We lucked out a month ago and got in on a terrific deal on Utah's Pass of All Passes. We get to go to water parks and lots of fun sporting and other events. The other plus for us, is that on Mondays, we get to go to the Tracy Aviary. As well. We've been several times now, and the kids really do love it. Today, we hit the aviary again. It wasn't terribly busy, and we got there in time to see the bird show before we had our picnic lunch. The eyelashes on the hornbills kill me. Subscri...

Rebel Kids Homeschool: August 2011
http://rebelkidshomeschool.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 29, 2011. A Dinoriffic Day at the Zoo. This summer the Hogle Zoo here in Utah has hosted a collection of awesome robotic dinosaurs. Because my children are rather obsessed with dinosaurs, particularly the male child, we have gone several times. It is their last week, though, and Angus is mourning. So today, despite the warm weather, we hit the zoo for our last encounter with the incredibly realistic robot dinos. They have dinosaur-related teaching exhibits throughout the park, as well.

Rebel Kids Homeschool: November 2010

Monday, November 15, 2010. A Fall Day and Changes. To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven;. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, a time to reap that which is. A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;. A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a. Time to refrain from embracing;. This is ...

Rebel Kids Homeschool: March 2011
http://rebelkidshomeschool.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 25, 2011. For the past month we've been hatching butterflies. We bought the Butterfly Habitat, and sent away for the caterpillars. They came as tiny little circles in a small container. They grew and grew and grew. And then eventually they climbed to the top of their container and became chrysalises. Four of our eggs survived to become caterpillars. We will keep them until it is warm enough to release them, and then we will let them go. Tuesday, March 15, 2011. We went to the Fire Station!

Rebel Kids Homeschool: December 2010
http://rebelkidshomeschool.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 31, 2010. The Flat Lady Takes Flight. Yesterday the Flat Lady got shipped. Literally. She's currently winging her way to our friends Sabrina, Kia, Rasmus, and Ilmi in Finland. We can't wait to see what she gets to do there in the winter. I'm sure it will be awesome. Safe travels, Flat Lady! Wednesday, December 29, 2010. A Busy Past Month. We are moved in and enjoying our new house. It has a hot tub, and we have had our unschooler friends and now neighbors over often to use it. We made a ...

Rebel Kids Homeschool: Of Plastics, Polymers, and Pinterest
http://rebelkidshomeschool.blogspot.com/2012/02/of-plastics-polymers-and-pinterest.html
Monday, February 20, 2012. Of Plastics, Polymers, and Pinterest. If you homeschool, and have not found pinterest,. You need to - fast! For us it's a great place to find ideas for science experiments, craft projects, and so much more. Trust me. You will not regret it. So it was on that note that this morning we set out to make plastic, after having found a cool science experiment on pinterest over the weekend. We learned a little about plastics and polymers, and then we made bouncing balls. This.

Rebel Kids Homeschool: Shopping Bags to Shopping Bags
http://rebelkidshomeschool.blogspot.com/2011/11/shopping-bags-to-shopping-bags.html
Sunday, November 27, 2011. Shopping Bags to Shopping Bags. We do a mostly homemade Christmas here. We're not big into consumerism, or shopping. We buy a few things, but we make infinitely more than we buy. Here is a tutorial :. The first thing you need to do is fuse the bags. We found this. I went ahead and did like 20 sheets of bags with all of our old bags, then took them to my sewing room when cooled, and used them like fabric to make multiple bags. I think this size would be great as a small produce ...

Rebel Kids Homeschool: Magnetism
http://rebelkidshomeschool.blogspot.com/2011/10/magnetism.html
Monday, October 10, 2011. First, we told each other what we already knew about magnets, and I wrote that down. Then I sent the kids on a scavenger hunt to find household items, and we tested them with our magnets, which taught us even more about magnetism and what magnets do and do not attract. We learned about polarity, and the north-south pull of magnets, and did an experiment by putting the horseshoe magnet on a stick and watching it "magically" rotate so that it was always pointing north/south.
