Homeschool Day 8/18: PE and Robotics

 We did a little bit of bookwork today, but most of today was projects and PE.

2nd Grader

  • Life of Fred Apples (I didn't feel like reading this today, but he cried to read it, so ((rolling my eyes)) we read it)
  • All About Reading
  • Read-aloud: Henry and Beezus (Beverly Cleary)

10th Grader
  • She did her Bookshark J reading

Physical Education (together)
  • They played basketball at the park with another homeschool family
Project-based Technology/STEM (together)
  • I don't know what to call this, but I am setting aside one afternoon a week for the kids to work on STEM/technology projects.  I have a big list of kits and projects that I want the kids to work on, including Evo Ozobot, some beginning circuitry kits, soldering, Lego Robot Inventor, learn to use the 3D printer, some coding, etc.
  • I picked up an Evo Ozobot from the library and spent the afternoon figuring out how it works and installing its software

Our city's library had the Evo Student Pack and I was able to check a kit out with my library card.

I found these plans for 3D printer - plans go with the Ozobot.  There's a little bulldozer, trailer, barrels, etc for the robot.
