Homeschool Student Success Skills Class

The following is a sponsored post in collaboration with College Prep Science and MommyMaestra. All opinions are my own.

I've been saying for a while that academic classes are great for high school, but there are several desperately needed courses that are not often on a high school curriculum. They are the classes that teach practical skills to teens to prepare them for life in college and life after graduation. 

I have a homeschooled 9th grader and private college prep schooled 11th grader. The two are like night and day in their approaches to school. But I have watched my oldest carefully and seen her develop skills that I know my freshman desperately needs to learn for success not just in high school classes that are getting harder and harder, but also the college courses that are hopefully to come. At the same time, I've been stressing wondering where to start and how to teach him.

So I was VERY pleased to learn that College Prep Science offers a class on Student Success Skills. Read more about it below!

Before going further, I want to note here that MommyMaestra shares homeschool resources for families of all faiths. This particular program has a Christian perspective.

Quick Overview

Program: College Prep Science
Class: Student Success Skills

Self-Paced Online Student Skills Class

In January, I wrote a review about one of the science classes College Prep Science offers. But Greg Landry (the owner) offers more than just science classes through his site. And this Student Success Skills class is one example.

First, let me give you the nuts and bolts. This is not a year-long class. It actually earns your child half a semester credit.

Self-paced (recorded) classes have seven lessons total. The live classes are 4 weeks long. The class includes a .pdf file of excellent printables to supplement the videos. The topics include:

• Taking Notes, Note-Sketching, & Studying
• Test Taking
• Measurement & the Metric (SI) System
• Temperature & Graphing
• The Scientific Method & Lab Reports
• Scientific Notation & Magnitude Perspective
• Statistics, Probability, Accuracy, and Precision

This class is designed to help students learn skills needed for academic success, but also has practical applications for life.

Take a quick look at my IG video about this class:

Benefits for Students & Parents

I don't like to make any comparisons to public or private schools when discussing homeschooling. Instead, I prefer to focus on end goals. And if your family's plan is for your child to attend a college or university, then making sure they are equipped with the tools and skills to be successful is really important. Some students learn these in a college preparatory school. And some homeschoolers develop these skills when they take dual-enrollment courses.

But many homeschoolers don't even think about teaching skills for college success. Or they aren't quite sure how to teach them. We're talking skills like note-taking (SO many different and effective ways!), how to write up lab reports, how to study, and how to take tests. For some of us parents, college was a long time ago, if that was the path we chose! I know that I've forgotten a lot of the skills I used for academic achievement. (That's okay. They were important for me in that season of life, and now I have had to learn new skills for a different season!)

So this class totally takes the burden off of me and helps reassure me that my kid is still learning some of these vital tools he's going to need in just a few years. Plus they will really help him as he moves through high school.

Also, the fact that this is worth half a semester, means that this is an excellent choice for summer learning if you choose to school year round, or just want your kids to take a class or two to keep up their learning habits.

The self-paced aspect is just so fantastic as it lets my son learn as quickly or as slowly as he likes. this makes it easier to motivate my son to actually get the work done. Knowing he has control over his own education in that sense is empowering for him.

If you are a parent looking to offer your child a skills class like this one, head over to College Prep Science to register!

Celebrating Día de los Niños 2021

 

This Friday is Día de los Niños, Día de los Libros.

It'll be the first year that I don't have my oldest two children with me to celebrate, which makes me a little sad. BUT it will be the first year that my youngest can actually appreciate what's happening. 

My plan is to focus on a day of books, starting with a trip to the library and followed by opening and reading all the great new books we've received from Beautiful Feet Books. I selected AROUND THE WORLD WITH PICTURE BOOKS PART I. 

I can't wait to dive into these diverse books and the amazing lesson plan book that accompanies them. Part I covers Asia, Africa, Australia, and Antarctica. (Stay tuned for an in-depth review.)

If you're looking for ideas on ways to celebrate the day, check out my post: 10 Ways to Celebrate Día at Home.

And don't forget about my printable Día Activity Pack! You can find it in my TpT store. 

Bilingual Flash Cards for PreK & Kindergarten

The following is a sponsored post with Beau & Blaze Creations. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 

I absolutely love it when moms come up with a great idea or product, decide to market it to share with other families, AND work hard to make it good quality.

That's what Puerto Rican mama of 2, Jackie Palaualelo, has done. She's starting a line of bilingual products for kids and her first product is now available on Amazon and Etsy. 

This post contains affiliate links.

Bilingual Toddler Flash Cards has 93(!) dry erase bilingual flash cards, 4 binder (book) rings, and two dry erase markers. The cards are grouped into 4 sets:

• English Alphabet, 
• Spanish Alphabet, 
• numbers 1-20, 
• and 20 sight word cards

The cards are simple but colorful and eye-catching to keep your child engaged. Each set comes with a binder ring so you can keep them together. Crazy enough, this simple design of adding a ring, intrigues little kids. I gave them to my 3yo and he so enjoyed flipping through them. It makes the cards more interactive, less static.

I also love that the cards come with writing spaces and traceable number and letters. So for little ones learning letter recognition, this is a major plus. The cards themselves are laminated and waterproof making them extra durable. My youngest loves tracing and then erasing and then tracing and then erasing. I appreciate all the pincer/grasping skills he's developing by holding the pens and "writing."

These bilingual cards will help children develop a foundation in both English and Spanish. Go and follow them on IG! Why? Because you'll find great ideas for different educational ways to use these excellent flash cards.

Off the top of my own head, they are great for letter and number recognition, finger tracing, counting, spelling, reading, writing, memory game (Spanish & English taken off the ring), and more.

You can buy them here on etsy.

Froggy Prepositions in English & Spanish

 

I just can't resist one more frog-themed graphic in honor of Save the Frogs Day tomorrow!

Anyway, you can just right click on the images and save them to your computer. Or you can visit the MommyMaestra Facebook page and share it directly from there with all your friends. 

And, yes! It's available in Spanish, too!

Have a great weekend!

Hispanic Poets: One-Page Reading Passages

 

So much going on this week! Earth Day, Save the Frogs Day, and more.

But first, a reminder that we are in the middle of National Poetry Month. I already shared a reading passage for our former U.S. Poet Laureate, Juan Felipe Herrera. 

Today, I wanted to share this packet of notable Hispanic Poets from around the world. 

It features seven remarkable and prolific poets in world history. They are:

1. Pablo Neruda
2. Gabriela Mistral
3. José Martí
4. Julia de Burgos
5. Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz
6. Federico García Lorca
7. Juan Felipe Herrera

This comprehensive packet is very similar to my 10 Latinas in History and Afro-Latinos in History packets. Each poet featured in a one-page reading passage and includes a multiple choice comprehension quiz. 

There are additional review sheets and pages for researching and essay writing. There is also a recommended reading list of children's books that feature each poet. The packet is 41 pages in all. 

At this moment, it is only available in English. A Spanish version will be made available this summer.

So if you're looking for a resource to celebrate National Poetry Month in a way that examines poets who are often overlooked in most poetry lessons, I hope you give this a try.

I also recommend the Highlights Book of Things to Write. It includes over 175 creative writing topics for kids, open-ended questions, games, activities and more.

Open-ended writing prompts invite kids to explore their world. Word games, writing tips and how-to’s show them new ways to put their thoughts into words. They’ll also explore how to create characters, write short stories, try out various styles of poetry, write about the things they care about, and so much more.

Resources for Celebrating Selena Day

Put on your most purple outfit and order some pizza because April 16th is officially Selena Day!

It’s a day to celebrate and honor the life of Tejano music’s most cherished icon, Selena Quintanilla Perez. Back in 1995, while fans all over the US, Mexico, and throughout Latin America were still grieving the death of their beloved star, then-Governor George W. Bush declared that April 16th, Selena’s birthday, would be an official Texas holiday.

I still recall fondly watching Selena Y Los Dinos in concert when I was little and never imagined all these years later I’d be looking for ways to celebrate the life of this singer in my homeschool.  Yet, here I am and I’m happy to report there are a few wonderful resources available to make this day a memorable homeschool event!

Books

First, if you can get your hands on this book called Queen of Tejano Music: Selena, do it! It’s Just. So. Lovely!!! Here’s a review with all the details.

Here are a couple of other children’s books about Selena you may want to buy OR consider asking your library to purchase them!   

Lesson Plans and Activities

If you want to check off a few school subjects for the day, try using some of these lesson plans from Little Bee Books and Teachers Pay Teachers.

Selena Lesson Plans in English

• Little Bee Books has this downloadable Teacher's Guide to go with the picture book, Queen of Tejano Music:Selena (4th grade).

• Teaching with a Cup of Tea has this free download on TpT: Selena Quintanilla Perez: Contributions of Famous Hispanics for 1st through 6th grades.

• Share My Lesson has this lesson for students in 9th - 12th about the podcast Anything for Selena.

Selena Lesson Plans in Spanish:

• Spanish Profe has this Selena Quintanilla in Spanish packet for 1st - 3rd grades.

• Profetips has these Actividades de escritura para libro "Selena, la reina de la música tejana" for PreK - 8th grades.

• Spark Enthusiasm Spanish has this 64-page Selena Movie Packet in Spanish for students in 6th through 12th grades.

There are many more resources on TPT about Selena, but here’s a tip for searching, type out “Selena Quintanilla Perez.”  Just “Selena” will take you to thousands of lesson plans about Selena Gomez.  

Websites

Here are a couple of kid-friendly websites for your Selena research.

• Kiddle has Selena Facts for Kids
• Kids Konnect has Selena Quintanilla Facts & Worksheets (And this one that also has lesson plans!)

Movie and TV Series

Jennifer Lopez and Edward James Olmos make “Selena,” the movie a must watch! But as a parent, I do believe you have to discern what age would be appropriate. There are no bad words or smut.  But there is the infamous and hilarious bustier scene, a scene where some rockers trash a hotel room, and Selena and Chris’ romance. There are themes dealing with racism and sexism. And of course, there is the end with Selena’s tragic, senseless, and violent death. I’d recommend that parents preview the movie first and IMHO, the best ages for this movie are middle school and up.

On Netflix, there is the new “Selena: The Series Part 1” with Part 2 to premiere next month. This series would not hold a youngster’s attention. I recommend middle school and up with the parent preview first. This series does an excellent job of depicting Selena’s and the entire Qunitanilla family’s struggle to make it in the music business. Their determination and creativity are inspiring. 

YouTube

Probably the most important thing you and your family could do is to simply listen to Selena’s music.  Music was her gift, her calling, the driving force in her short but brilliant life.  No need to buy if funds are tight because YouTube has them all on the Selena Official channel.

You can listen to her albums, watch her music videos, and see concert clips.  My family’s favorite to watch are clips from Selena’s performance at the Astrodome. Here she is singing her most famous song, “Como La Flor”:

Selena’s life has left a lasting mark on my family and we will definitely be celebrating this April 16th with Coke, pizza, and Doritos (you’ll get why this menu after you see the movie ;)) and some of these activities. We hope you and your family do, too!  If there is any doubt about the significant impact of Selena’s legacy around the world, just watch this absolutely adorable video that just went viral 3 weeks ago with almost 4 million views! 

Proof that Selena’s talent is timeless.

Guacamole: A Cooking Poem

 

Guacamole: Un poema para cocinar, A Cooking Poem

by Jorge Argueta

illustrated by Margarita Sada

Groundwood Books (Libros Tigrillo) never fails to deliver beautiful stories filled with culture and warmth. Written by the poet Jorge Argueta, Guacamole: Un poema para cocinar, A Cooking Poem (aff link) is more than just a simple recipe centered around the traditional Latin dish. Instead, it is a glimpse into the world of a child who creates something special for her family using her imagination and joyful spirit.

Told in the first person, our narrator is a young girl for whom aguacates resemble green precious stones,  limes are like big crystal marbles, and their seeds like little pearls. This delightful book comes with full text in both English and Spanish. 

Young chefs will thoroughly enjoy this book. Immediately after reading the book, my daughter made out our grocery list to include cilantro and aguacates. I love books that call children to action and appreciate how Guacamole inspires children to get in the kitchen and put together a simple dish that everyone will enjoy.

The illustrations are so creative and engaging for young readers. I like how Sada has given the reader images that reflect the imagination of the young girl in the tale.

Here's a sample passage from the book...

Ahora le agregas sal, no mucha.

Cántale a la sal

cuando la agites,

para que como pringuitas

de llovizna blanca

caiga sobre el aguacate verde.

Sal salita de mi salero

échale la sal primero.

Now add salt, not too much.

Sing to the salt

as you shake it

so that little spatters

of white drizzle

fall like rain on the green avocado.

Salt, salty salt from my saltshaker,

salt goes in first.

If you loved Argueta's book, Arroz con leche/Rice Pudding: Un poema para cocinar/A Cooking Poem (aff), you'll love this next book in the series!

Parents and teachers can use this book to make guacamole with their children and then talk about the concepts of family, imagination, similes, poetry, and cooking.

If you would like to buy your own copy of Guacamole: Un poema para cocinar, A Cooking Poem, here's my affiliate link to it on Amazon:

Real-World Science: Scholastic Pathways

Do you guys know about Scholastic Pathways? It's a must for educators teaching science to 6th - 12th grades. 

This website has resources (magazines, lessons, activities, and videos) on real-world science topics - and they're all FREE!

The topics include: 

• Microscopes & Imaging
• Superbugs
• Circadian Rhythms
• Regeneration
• and Basic Science

Each of the topics comes with an educator's guide, magazine, printable activities, and digital tools that basically consist of an interactive program and a Kahoot game. Actually, all of the materials I just listed are available online in a digital format. 

BUT educators can also order print copies - up to 100 copies of the magazines for their students and a limit of five educator's guides.

The interactives are like virtual classrooms in which you click on specific parts of the image and it yields information in the form of texts and photos. It's fairly engaging for kids. 

Overall, this a fabulous resource for middle and high school students. Homeschoolers especially should take advantage of it and the wealth of information it has for young learners.

Studying the Immigration Experience with Children

When I sit down to read the news these days, I keep seeing story after story about the huge number of migrants who are coming to our borders. 

Most of them are children.

If you've been following MommyMaestra for long, you know that two years ago, I hosted a book drive for migrant children. The tremendous hardship that these kids are going through is unimaginable to most of us. Actually, it's something we don't want to imagine. Because the reality is horrific.

So how do we have these conversations with our children to educate them about what is happening? How do we present the plight of these migrant children in a compassionate and humane way? How do we explain why children are leaving their countries, their families, and coming here without frightening our kids or teaching them to make (inaccurate) assumptions or to be judgmental? 

One way to do this is through books. Stories have power. When we talk with someone in person, it is too easy to stop listening - to interrupt. But when we have a book, the story is there for us to read in its entirety. I can't imaging how challenging it is for an author to write about the topic of migrant children. But I'm so grateful that the authors listed below have taken on this burden in an attempt to humanize these innocent victims who are so often vilified or mistreated. 

I thought now would be a good time to share resources with you.

Lesson Plans

• Who Is an Immigrant? (K - 5th) :: Learning for Justice
• Immigration Lesson Plan for Grades 3–5 :: Scholastic
• Teaching Immigration :: The Immigrant Learning Center
• They’re Coming to America: Immigrants Past and Present (5 -7th) :: PBS
• Classroom Connections: Immigration in the Curriculum :: Colorín Colorado
• The New Americans (7th - 12th) :: Independent Lens

Videos

Next, I love this Ted Talk by author/illustrator Duncan Tonatiuh. You'll find out why he began writing children's books and how his illustrations are inspired by Ancient Mexican art, particularly that of the Mixtec codex. He also discusses why he has chosen the themes of migration and comparing/contrasting the lives of Mexican and American children for his children's books. It's a great listen and I encourage you to take the time to watch the video.

Children's Books about Immigration

In addition, here are some of my favorite children's books that put the immigration experience into a form that kids can truly understand. The titles below focus on children and families and the hardships and adventure that come with moving to a new country, a new culture, and a new language. But these books are not just for children born and raised here in the United States. They are also to give immigrant children a chance to see their stories in print and know that there are many other children who have experienced a similar situation.

If you are looking for great children's literature on immigration, consider the following titles.
