September In The Community Garden

  A Tiny Hiker’s Adventures in a Community Garden In September we spend our Friday afternoon either at the community garden in Massachusetts or at a park in Rhode Island. Both places have a playground, but our tiny hiker was keen on exploring the community garden or running along a trail. The community garden was the highlight of September. There was always something going on. Always exciting. Whether it was the seasonal changes of the garden beds or the people we met tending to their plants, or the heat wave or the dogs we’d meet. As a backdrop, a community garden is a single piece of land gardened collectively by a group of people. Among the rows of vegetables, fruits, and flowers, there's a common purpose.   In our bustling, tech-driven society, it’s wonderful to find our young adventurer so absorbed in the natural world. This urban oasis has nuances to be fern-scrutinized, lessons to be leaf-learned, and most importantly, experiences to be growth-gained that no table...

Park Day in Franklin

  Cultivating Community Spirit and Green Thumbs My role as a parent is to cultivate, nurture, and raise tiny human beings who are considerate, responsible, and conscious of the world they inhabit. During our park day in Franklin we discovered a community garden. It was great!

Tiny Hike Grassroots Co-op

Image
Inspired by the blossoming curiosity of children, we've decided to start a homeschooling co-op focusing on preschool-aged kids. We believe in the idea of cooperative learning. We also would like to support the broader k-12 homeschooling community by offering skill share workshops both virtually and in-person. In our Co-op, we would like to take turns leading various activities or learning sessions, sharing our unique talents, and creating a nurturing environment for our kids of all ages. We would like to jointly and/or independently plan hiking trails, playdates, backyard explorations, science and/or sport activities, to name a few out of the many options for social and learning opportunities.   The Co-op would also provide parents with an opportunity to share knowledge, strategies, resources, and experiences about homeschooling. The pleasure of having shared accomplishments and challenges is something that we believe better equips us on the educating journey. As a new co-op ...
