- Did you watch NASA’s Perseverance Rover Launch to Mars on Thursday morning? It happened way too early for us West Coasters, so we just watched the replay. I believe the Rover is due to land on Mars early next year. Here’s some fun Mars projects from JPL.
- Since we’re on the topic of space, NASA & Space X’s Demo-2 astronauts will be returning to Earth on August 2nd, weather depending. They are set to undock from the International Space Station on the evening of August 1st.
- My best friend is a marine biologist and is always sending me fun ideas to do with the kids. This week she sent me a link to this recycled shark bottle craft from Living Porpoisefully.
- Art History Kids just posted an article about art activist Keith Haring with prompts to help you create your own mural. There’s a local artist here in Ventura named Andrew Rodriguez whose art I feel is inspired by Haring.
- If you need more homeschool curriculum ideas for your kids check out this blog post I wrote a couple months ago to help you get started or if you are looking for reading resources for your struggling child, I recommend this guest post by Sarah D.
- My dad is big on personal finance and economics and sent me this article from Kiplinger about the cost of homeschooling. For those of you new or thinking about homeschooling, it’s something to consider. Also, check out these articles, Homeschooling 101, Am I Even Fit to Homeschool My Kids? and Simple Homeschool Routine, to help you get started on the right track.
- And finally, these matte black Venice Cateye sunglasses from TopFoxx have been in my cart for awhile. I should probably complete my order before they sell out.
