About Me

About Me

Hi, I'm, kaycee!

Weirdly domestic homeschooling, work from home mom of 3. When not wiping noses, playing taxi, or washing a never-ending pile of laundry, I spend stolen moments in the bathroom reading as much as I can and drinking heavily reheated butter coffee.

  • I love a good unit study....📚

They are the life force of our learning here and not hard to put together at any age.

Step 1: Pick a subject -- This week we have been studying dinosaurs🦖 Mary Anning👧🏻 and London🇬🇧

Step 2: Pull the resources you already have available -- Most of these books are right off our shelves. So are the board games. The Kiwi Crate was a gift we hadn't gotten to yet. I also scoured our art subscription for matching projects and settled on one involving the Tower of London.

Step 3: Decide if you'll need anything else -- I grabbed a few more books from the library, the dino egg kit from Michaels, and put together a YouTube playlist. I did a grocery run last weekend and tomorrow we're having "high tea" for lunch.

How do you feel about unit studies?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

  • Graphic novels are better than NO novels.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In fact, what if I told you they were BETTER than regular novels? Let's take a look at 3 benefits of graphic novels, shall we?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Comic books and graphic novels can be more fun and easier to read than regular books, as they break up large passages of text that new or reluctant readers may be intimidated by. The right graphic novel can help convince children who think they dislike reading that it's fun. Start by offering books with characters they know from tv and movies.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Vocabulary building: A University of Oregon study found that comic books average 53.5 rare words per thousand, compared with an average of 30.9 rare words per thousand in children’s books, and also higher than the adult average of 52.7. Your kids will build their vocabulary through graphic novels -- and you might too!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. There are no limits. They aren't "just for boys". Graphic novels aren't just for teens and adults. Comic books are not just about superheroes. Just as there are novels and picture books about everything under the sun, this applies to graphic novels as well. There are graphic novel adaptations of "the classics", there are comics for beginning readers and up. There are graphic novels that are about social justice issues, with LGBTQ+ characters, religious, secular, historic, mythological, etc, etc, etc.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Do you have kids that prefer graphic novels?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
