👋🏾 from the STEAM team
When we returned to Dallas, we moved to a community with a performative recycling program 😭😭. Thankfully, we discovered Recycle Revolution and their community recycling program. Each week or so, we drop off our recyclables FREE of charge! There is a small fee for dropping off styrofoam, e-waste (devices, electric toothbrushes, etc), soft plastic bags and compost... but it's worth every cent!
Sometimes we see the chickens roaming the property. Other times we learn about ways to reduce our environmental impact (thanks for all the recommendations, Jessica). And every time, my children learn how their actions impact our planet and the quality of life of generations to come.
We've spent part of our spring break learning about creatures in our own community as part of Urban Wildlife camp 🐿🐢🐦🌱
Here are my children on day one dissecting owl pellets and identifying the owl's prey🦉
I'll share more about our week soon!
Yesterday was Homeschool Day at the Dallas Zoo. We participated in hands-on activities, learning about proprioception & balance, bird migratory patterns and earth conservation efforts. Our favorite activity was helping to restore the Cedar Creek by collecting trash that can harm the wildlife. We found lots of plastic bags, cans, unidentified metal, broken glass and a bouncy ball.
We plan to continue our restoration efforts in other areas around the city... and hopefully this enthusiasm will carry over to my children's bedroom 🙌🏾 ... they said they now "need" grabbers at home 🤦🏾♀️😅
We always find great books at our local library. Here are some of our recent pics...
What are you and your littles current reading?
Thank you 2021 for the lessons and memories!
Cheers to 2022 🎉

We had a blast night night at HAKing Innovation's Gratitude Gala. We celebrated the growth of the organization and learned about upcoming initiates. We experienced several hands-on activations where guests made LED reindeers, decorated ornaments and interacted with 3-D printed items. The event was intimate and the food was delish! Aaaaand we may or may not have captured our holiday pic at the gala ❤

I've always L📚VED reading, especially stories of adventure and excitement. I love helping my children cultivate their own love of reading. Here are several titles we've loved and read over and over.
