Early Childhood - Nomenclature Cards: Human Anatomy

Montessori Nomenclature cards are used for classifying and building vocabulary and concepts in all subject areas. Also known as 3-part cards, this material is made up of a control card, which has the picture and word on the same card, and individual pictures and labels. Students then match the individual pictures and labels to the correct control card, providing for in-depth visual discrimination practice and independence, as students do not need to ask the teacher for help to check their work. For this 4-year-old student, the teachers have extended the work to include realistic objects and word tracing, adding layers of complexity to the work.

snippet sunday

I was tagged by @kingonafiftymetreroad and actually, this is a snippet for a fic I’m working on for the @notjustsmutficfest it’s been forever since I’ve posted a bit of writing here, so here it is:

“You don’t ever have to be embarrassed.” He says it gently, but his words hit hard. “Whatever’s on your mind, I can almost guarantee that I’ve thought about it too. I meant it when I said I want everything with you.”

“You mean like, everything?” Harry swallows, trying to keep his composure as the conversation veers towards something they haven’t talked about yet.

“Yeah, I do mean everything.” Louis pulls back so that they’re now face to face.

“Like, actual sex?” He feels a bit ridiculous asking, but if he doesn’t, he’ll leave room for second guessing.

“Yeah.” Louis says it with no hesitation, but Harry can tell that they both feel the heaviness of the moment.

“How would that go for us?” Harry asks, feeling half turned on, half nervous.

“However you want it to go.” Louis looks so fucking open, like he’s a book that he wants Harry to read. “I’m good both ways.”

“You’re okay with being on the, well.” Harry stutters nervously.

“Bottom?” Louis adds in. “Yeah, I am. In fact, that’s the only way that I’ve actually done it before.”

“Really?” Harry doesn’t mean to sound so surprised, but Louis just chuckles.

“Yeah.” Louis shrugs like it’s not important, but Harry feels the need to grasp his hand anyway. “My past partners were staunchly top. They were adamantly against being fucked, kind of grossly against it.”

“I’m not against it - being fucked.” Harry blurts it out before he can have any second thoughts. “Or the other way too. I think I’d be open to anything.”

“You,” Louis smiles, this private, small smile that Harry’s never seen before. “You’re incredible.”

~

I don’t have many writer friends, so I don’t have anyone else to tag to participate, but anyone who wants to post a snippet definitely should! 😊

5 YouTube Channels Homeschool Families Simply MUST Check Out

This Week's Curated Content is All About Some Really Dope (read: Interesting, Informative, and Generally Accurate) YOUTUBE Channels that Homeschooling Families (or Classroom Teachers) Can Use to Support Their Homeschool Curriculum.

(Looking for Podcast Suggestions to Supplement Your Homeschooling or Classroom Curriculum? Say Less! Check Out This Post Filled With Educational Podcast Recommendations.)

MELANATED AND WELL-EDUCATED

New and Confused Homeschool Families Start Here! Talk about user-friendly. This channel is the perfect go-to site, especially for new homeschooling families.

The presenter, Erica, is well-informed and speaks with the benefit of first hand experience. She also podcasts, blogs, and vlogs (or something like that 😃) so you can consume her content in various ways.

ThisBrownTeacher's Hot Take: It's a GO for Me.

These videos are clean! The recording and formatting is so well done. And getting insight from someone who's actually DOING what you're doing ... well, well, well ... you gotta love it when a great plan comes together.

CRASH COURSE

Crash Course is a YouTube channel filled with science, social science, and historical content presented in fun, usually a mix of real people and animated clips.

Agreeing that the site is witty and fast-paced, CommonSense.org and other commenters are seemingly thrown off by the word 'course' in the channels moniker. CommonSense.org gives Crash Course a rating of 3 out 5 stars, deciding that anything labeled a "course" should be interactive and offer opportunities for students to "engage" with the content - something they claim Crash Course does not necessarily do.

ThisBrownTeacher's Hot Take: Check it out. 👍🏾

Sometimes a video is just that ... a video. And most homeschooling or traditional school teachers will add their own spin on information curated from the internet regardless. The content is better suited toward older learners and families should preview the content first to ensure that all topic matter is copacetic.

THE HANDMADE HOMESCHOOLER

With shoutouts to the "Homeschool Haters" (facts 😉) and videos titled THINGS I WON'T DO AS A HOMESCHOOL MOM and 6 THINGS I DON'T DO AS A HOMESCHOOL MOM, you know you are about to get the real-deal-truth-ruth when it comes to homeschooling. Mandy's channel -THE HANDMADE HOMESCHOOLER- is truly an internet fav. Plus, she runs a free Facebook Group and, even though I, personally, don't rock with a whole bunch of extraneous and miscellaneous purchases and fees related to homeschooling, if you need some early guidance, this channel has curriculum and other resources for preschool and upper grades at the ready.

ThisBrownTeacher's Hot Take: Yes, Please! 💯

Besides the cute, little YouTube Shorts she does, as a classroom teacher, I REALLY appreciate The Handmade Homeschooler's approach to HS prep and organization. She seems to backwards plan and Year-At-A-Glance prep like the most veteran of school teachers. Her content is interesting and informative. And definitely the place to go for real talk, organization, preparation, and subject based ideas and information.

ART FOR KIDS HUB

Art for Kids Hub is a great look for all homeschooling families because:

The channel is actually created and hosted by an actual family. With kids. Doing art.

Most of the projects are easy, uncomplicated, and do not require a bunch of supplies or skills. In most cases, pencils and perhaps crayons or markers will suffice.

My boy loves this channel for all of the cool HOW TO DRAW ... videos that provide easy to understand, step-by-step techniques for drawing everything from ants to a slice of lemon pie.

ThisBrownTeacher's Hot Take: For sure! For sure! 👌🏾

While some of the drawing tutorials or subject matter (Bugatti anyone?) may frustrated younger or easily frustrated children, pre-viewing and pre-selecting a drawing or two you know your homeschooler can handle is the perfect addition to your Art or Creativity curriculum. For sure!

Real Life Lore

What's cool about the Real Life Lore YouTube channel is, by far, the ... LORE! Featuring titles such as What's the Deepest Hole We Can Possible Dig? This channel is chock full of subject matter based topics that are arranged in way that makes what could be somewhat dry content (digging holes ... huh?) really engaging for elementary aged homeschoolers and up. Filled with science and history/social studies heavy themes, from comprehension questions, essays, drawings, map quests, experiments, and more, your learner can successfully interact with this content in so many ways and have fun doing it.

ThisBrownTeacher's Hot Take: For sure! Say less. ✅

Top Fuel Dragsters Visualized and Telling Time on Mars. Sheesh. Say less.

On Behalf of Your Children ... What's Next?

For some of you, this is going to hurt. And for that I am sorry. But not sorry. More like sorry, not sorry. Especially in this age of wokeness, cancellations, and fear of speaking truth, to power or otherwise.

You see, these days, most can't handle the truth and believe their self-imposed fugue state is valid, is justified, and no one is allowed to penetrate it.

But penetrate it I must.

Hear me out for just a moment as I present a single question to the confused, the uncertain, the unsure among us.

What's next?

I see your questions. Your inquires. Your requests for assistance.

Which leads me to wonder. What's next?

You recant the stories of the awful things that occur in your child's classroom, their school building, within themselves, or amongst their peers.

You lament over the inequalities, the maltreatment, the mishandling effectuated by your child's teacher, their school environment, and society at large as they showcase their uncertainty about things that they simply do not understand.

You use words like heartbreaking, brutal, unfair. And as I read, as I listen, I can only ask but one question. What's next?

Our neurodivergent children, Our loves. The reason our hearts beat. Our children's behaviors can be intense. Their behaviors can be difficult. No. Not just difficult. Not only intense. Also complicated. Frightening. A lot.

All facts.

But I wonder, even more so when reading your words, or listening to your commentary here and there ... what is the alternative, and is that alternative any worse than your prevailing predicament?

Speaking from direct and actual experience, I assure you, your children are telling you something. The stories they tell you. The feelings they express. The pictures that they draw. Even the reports and write-ups from school. They are all painting a narrative. Telling a story.

So again I ask, what's next?

Auliq Ice speaks of pulling your own rope. But pulling your own rope is sometimes so hard. Pulling your own rope is sometimes too much. Rest assured. I get it. I, too, understand.

But what is the alternative? What is next?

Perhaps homeschooling is not your choice. (Though I wish you would reconsider.) But options exist. Alternatives abound. And most importantly, your children are asking a very hard question of you.

What's next?

Because what's currently happening is obviously not working.

So consider this, and again on behalf of your children I ask, ... what's next?

“It's not about making the right choice. It's about making a choice and making it right.” ― J.R. Rim

Our journey began more than three decades ago when we established our inaugural martial arts academy.

As an extension rooted in Biblical values, we later introduced Warriors Christian Academy, a new and unique ministry model for Christian education.

We integrated the principles of martial arts into our educational approach. With meticulous planning spanning several years and a timely response to the evolving challenges within the educational landscape, Warriors was officially launched in the autumn of 2020.

Proudly based in Cedar Park, Texas, our academy caters to all kids in the local community and its surrounding areas, with plans for expansion to additional locations.

Embracing Tradition with a Modern Twist: The Essence of the Traditional Non-Traditionalist

I am a self proclaimed Traditional Non-traditionalist.

In a world shaped by the constant ebb and flow of change, emerges a persona that defies categorization—a traditional non-traditionalist. Far from the confines of black-and-white labels, I navigate life, weaving together threads of tradition and innovation into a unique narrative.

Embracing Heritage:

At the core of the traditional non-traditionalist lies a deep appreciation for heritage and tradition. Whether rooted in cultural practices, familial values, or time-honored rituals, there's a recognition that the past holds wisdom and beauty worth preserving.

Yet giving everything a twist so that people do not expect what comes next. It's like playing blackjack, its taking another card when people think you will stay or folding when least expected. Like having a traditional wedding but wearing a gold wedding gown because the gown was unique or giving up something for lent when that is not your normal.

Redefining Norms:

Yet, in the dance of non-tradition, there's a twist—a willingness to challenge norms and redefine conventions. The traditional non-traditionalist embraces change not as a threat but as a companion on the journey, introducing fresh perspectives and possibilities. Or just adding a bit of interruption to make people think outside of the box.

Innovation Within Constraints:

Rather than rejecting tradition outright, this individual thrives on innovating within the constraints of the familiar. It's a delicate balance of honoring the past while allowing room for creativity, a dance between the old and the new that yields a symphony of personal expression.

Personalized Rituals:

In the world of the traditional non-traditionalist, rituals take on a personalized flair. From celebrations to daily routines, there's a conscious effort to infuse individuality into traditions, creating a mosaic that reflects personal values and preferences.

Values Over Trends:

While trends may come and go, the traditional non-traditionalist anchors themselves in timeless values. It's an acknowledgment that beneath the surface of fleeting fads, there are principles that withstand the test of time—a compass guiding choices and actions.

Open to Evolution:

A defining trait is an openness to evolution. Tradition, for the traditional non-traditionalist, is not static but a living entity that evolves with each generation. It's an invitation to participate in the ongoing narrative of cultural and personal heritage.

Bridging Generations:

This unique persona serves as a bridge between generations. Respect for the wisdom of elders meets an understanding of the aspirations of the youth. It's a generational dialogue where the past informs the present, and the present shapes the future.

In the tapestry of the traditional non-traditionalist, we discover a narrative that transcends binaries. It's a celebration of the enduring beauty of tradition and the exhilarating dance of innovation. As this persona weaves through time, they leave behind a trail of stories, a testament to the richness that emerges when tradition and non-tradition converge in a harmonious embrace.

I just saw a thing about no traditional affection, it was about autistic people and how they don’t have to express affection in traditional ways like hugs and eye contact but they find other ways and those are just as valid

Anyway, I like to just set my head on people shoulders/laps, really just the most easily accessible surface

I also bite people but that is less frequent

My favourite non physical form of affection is making weird noises at people and calling them bitches

Tag your favourite form of non traditional affection

Toddler - Exploring Chemical Reactions

In this science activity, the students explored chemical reactions using baking soda and vinegar. The children were all excited as they observed intently. We decided to add food coloring to prompt even more discoveries. Some of the students were able to make predictions on what would happen as we added the baking soda and various colors.
