Welcome to Down Home, San Luis Obispo Classical Academy’s blog! We are a classical school offering several options to make our education work for families with infants through high schoolers. Our signature hybrid program, which is part-time classroom and part-time home instruction, provides an engaging education for preschool through middle school (with full time options available). We also have a university model high school. This blog is meant to support and encourage on the home front because, in so many ways, the heart of what happens at SLO Classical Academy happens down home.

Semper discentes—always learning together.

Summer 2014: Indoor Boredom Busters

{source}

Last week we shared a few fun outdoor activities, so let’s look at some indoor suggestions too. Some of these can be done independently by kids, while others require a little parent (or big sibling) involvement and can turn a quiet afternoon into a fun time spent together. When the familiar “I’m bored” is heard around your house, perhaps one of these craft or activity ideas would be welcome:

1. Cave of Stars, from Life as Mama

2. Catapult craft game, from All For The Boys (this may come in handy during our study of the Middle Ages!)

3. Magical Play-dough mix, from Come Together Kids, which you can then use to make:

4. Play-dough bug fossils, from No Time for Flashcards

5. Black glue and watercolor, from Pink and Green Mama

See you tomorrow night at our parent reading group – 7pm! Even if you haven't quite finished the book, join us and let's discuss The Read-Aloud Handbook.
