What about online post-secondary courses? He could try courses in various fields to assess his interest. If he finds something he likes he could pursue a degree.

How about an adventure? For dh’s birthday I got him a day at a local zipline place. In the past I have given him a rock climbing lesson at a climbing gym.
Season’s pass to a local place he would enjoy?
Tickets to a show? Concert, play, etc.

We make the Martha Stewart marshmallows with a few modifications (you may be able to make them as is): https://www.marthastewart.com/333974/homemade-marshmallowsWe are peanut, tree nut, seed, dairy, wheat and egg allergic. I am so hopeful that one of the recipes posted will work for us, but not much luck yet. Anyone up for a challenge?
We substitute Lyle’s Golden Syrup instead of corn syrup. I’m pretty sure I made them with rice syrup years ago and that was fine as well. We also substitute natural cane sugar instead of granulated sugar. They turn out light beige instead of white and taste carmelly. Everyone loves them. :)
This week I am making a chocolate treat where I melt chocolate chips, add raisins, dried cranberries, and a little bit of a crunchy cereal (GoGo Quinoa Cocoa, but this is totally optional). Mix all together, pour into a silicon mini muffin pan (I have a super mini one for chocolates, but you could just cover the bottom of the normal mini cups, or place as spoonfuls on parchment on a cookie sheet). Refrigerate until solid, then pop out of mold (or remove from cookie sheet) and store in sealed container in fridge until time to eat.

I let the kids make cloud dough today. It ended with cornstarch all over the room and a trail of footprints leading out of it. Vacuuming the floor and furniture, washing most surfaces in the room, and showers for the kids... finally my room is back to the stage of legos on the floor and play food out of the bin. Which in comparison is very tidy.
So... just know that it could be a whole lot worse!

We completed the first volume of BFSU but got bogged down in the second book. We did a year of REAL Science Odyssey and really enjoyed it. Mystery Science did not work for us, although we do watch their weekly question/answer videos. We continue to do some lessons from RSO, but our new find this year is Picture Perfect Science and Picture Perfect STEM.
So far we are loving the PPS books and I wish we had known about them from the beginning. They pair a fun picture book on a topic with a nonfiction book for a scientific explanation. Some of the topics are different than the usual elementary science fare. You make bracelets using UV beads that show when your sunscreen needs reapplying. You grow rice to learn about experiment design. You make ice cream to learn about states of matter. You pop popcorn in test tubes held over a flame to observe the changes. You learn how lightbulbs work and compare incandescent, fluorescent, and LED bulbs by design and for efficiency. It's a lot of fun! The downside to the program is that it is expensive, and some of the topics require equipment you may not already have (test tubes, a laser thermometer, etc.). But for us, it has been a really good fit.

A close family member has just been diagnosed with terminal cancer. For those who have been through this, are there any books you can recommend for helping children through this time? Ages 4-10. Or for adults for that matter? I am a complete mess. I don't know how to talk to them when I can't even keep myself together.
Is there anything you wished you did in that remaining time, or anything you are glad that you did do?
Is there a good resource to help with making a memory journal or something like that? Something that will help me ask the right questions for my loved one to share their stories?

Congratulations!!!

My 4yo came up to me with his glass of water a couple days ago and said, "I would like a little solid in my liquid please."
I was so surprised I just stood there until he said, "Ice, Mum. I would like ice." (and looked at me like I was clueless!)

Lalalalalalal I can't hear you.
The last time you mentioned a product trend I ended up buying the Rainbow Loom, which turned out be my mortal enemy.
HAHAHA!! This was my exact thought when I saw this thread. Except Spy Car got me into rainbow looms, our fabulous toaster oven, and Singapore math. 2 out of the 3 were wildly successful.
I would totally wear an animal onesie. But I wouldn't tell anyone I know. Ok, I might. I need a Totoro one, but I am not opening the link because I would probably buy something!

I'm glad she got the MRI. It was worth the battle. Many hugs to you and your daughter. :grouphug:

So what’s in your elementary nature bag?
in K-8 Curriculum Board
Posted
We use watercolour pencils and then wetbrushes.
Keep in mind that all of these things start to get heavy and you have to haul it all around. Sometimes keeping it simple is best. We have a bag packed with all the things, but I often put it in the car and then only select a few things once we reach our destination. Hand loupes/magnifying glasses are a must. And my phone with camera. Everything else is optional and depends on how far we have to haul everything.
