Corona Virus and the shift in Education from the classroom to the Homefront

Hi, Looking for ways to transition learning to Home? I have comprised list of all the educational offerings showing up in my mailbox over the past weeks as our educational systems have ground to a halt and each person collectively has reorganized their lives to accommodate for the shift from normal to a new normal. Change is inevitable. We weren't prepared for this. How do I start to educate my kids when I am also reorganizing my life? This is something we are all trying to be resilient through. I am consistently awed by the way people are coming together to help each other right now. I have been waiting for my moment to contribute. Today I am starting this blog to bring what I know to the table, share, and ask you to share your triumphs along the way. I will load content that I come across that applies to anyone wishing to use these readily available tools online. I will organize them here, along with activities and places to view, engage, or otherwise educate yours...

Thursday 5/21  Petroglyphs are rock carvings (rock paintings are called pictographs) made by pecking directly on the rock surface using a stone chisel and a hammerstone. When the desert varnish (or patina) on the surface of the rock was chipped off, the lighter rock underneath was exposed, creating the petroglyph. Archaeologists have estimated there may be over 25,000 petroglyph images along the 17 miles of escarpment within the monument boundary. It is estimated 90% of the monument's petroglyphs were created by the ancestors of today's Pueblo people. Puebloans have lived in the Rio Grande Valley since before 500 A.D., but a population increase around 1300 A.D. resulted in numerous new settlements. It is believed that the majority of the petroglyphs were carved from about 1300 through the late 1680s. ACTIVITY Find a rock, Try to make a lasting image on it with simple/rudimentary tools. How will you go about doing this? What are the steps in your process, be c...

Thursday 6/4 Tonight's Full Moon, Go to Google Images to read text. Song of the Moon Priscilla Jane Thompson Oh, a hidden power is in my breast,       A power that none can fathom;   I call the tides from seas of rest,   They rise, they fall, at my behest;   And many a tardy fisher’s boat,   I’ve torn apart and set afloat,        From out their raging chasm.   For I’m an enchantress, old and grave;         Concealed I rule the weather;   Oft set I, the lover’s heart a blaze,   With hidden power of my fulgent rays,   Or seek I the souls of dying men,   And call the sea-tides from the fen,       And drift them out together.   I call the rain from the mountain’s peak,       And sound the mighty thunder;   When I wax and wane from week to week,  The heavens stir...

Breast Cancer took her life, but her zest for life, love of animals, and incredible spirit lives on. People who knew her tell me I'm like her, I believe she is still a part of my life because I see her in mourning doves, roses, and horses, dairy cows, especially Jerseys, Collie dogs, Persian cats, and exploration too. She was an individual and I am too. I see her in my daughters and my Mom. I miss her, but I try to live life like she did, without complaint, simply, and with good intention.
