❤️🕯️Countdown to KWANZAA 🕯️💚

It’s 2 days until the start of Kwanzaa, and I’ll be sharing a children’s book about Kwanzaa each day.

The six book in our countdown is “Celebra Kwanzaa con Botitas y sus gatotios” by F. Isabel Campoy and Alma Flor Ada.

Kwanzaa is an American holiday, and more than 13% of Americans speak Spanish, so I love that there is a Kwanzaa book for kids that is written in Spanish! This book is also in English by the same authors.

The book follows a family trying to find their missing cat while the story tells how they use the principles of Kwanzaa along the way.

What is Kwanzaa?! ❤️🖤💚

Kwanzaa is a holiday celebrated mostly by the African-American community, but open to all. It is a reminder to African-Americans and pan-Africans that we still have a connection to the culture that we were denied due to the enslavement of our ancestors. Kwanzaa is an encouragement to reflect on that culture and continue to build on it by living intentionally.

Kwanzaa follows 7 principles (Unity, Self-Determination, Collective Work & Responsibility, Cooperative Economics, Purpose, Creativity, and Faith) and really holds children up high. The only traditional gifts that are given are books, educational toys, and artwork for kids (adults don’t typically receive or exchange gifts).

———————————————

Join us each day as I share more about Kwanzaa as we count down to the first day, and stick around as I share about each day’s principle during the week of Kwanzaa - December 26 - January 1.

❤️🕯️Countdown to KWANZAA 🕯️💚

It’s 3 days until the start of Kwanzaa, and I’ll be sharing a children’s book about Kwanzaa each day.

The fifth book in our countdown is “Seven Candles for Kwanzaa” by Andrea Davis Pinkney, a Black author.

I really love this book for its illustrations (by Brian Pinkney, the author’s husband) and its simple explanation of so many aspects of Kwanzaa throughout the story. Words are defined when they are first mentioned, and a pronunciation is provided beside them, as well. When the story starts to talk about the 7 days and principles of Kwanzaa, the Kinara (candle holder) is illustrated for each day, and shows the order in which the candles are to be lit (it alternates and can be confusing the first few times you do it).

Add this illustrated children’s Kwanzaa book to your list to read a sweet story highlighting so many beautiful aspects of Black/African-American culture, and to learn how to celebrate Kwanzaa all throughout it.

❤️🕯️Countdown to KWANZAA 🕯️💚

It’s 4 days until the start of Kwanzaa, and I’ll be sharing a children’s book about Kwanzaa each day.

The fourth book in our countdown is “Seven Spools of Thread: A Kwanzaa Story” by Angela Shelf Medearis, a Black author (I keep pointing this out because not all authors of books about Kwanzaa have experience with the holiday, nor are they Black - they approach a book from a research aspect instead of a lived experience aspect).

“Seven Spools of Thread: A Kwanzaa Story” is a tale written in the form of a proverbial African story. Seven brothers in an African village use the 7 Principles of Kwanzaa (nguzo saba) to accomplish a goal mandated in their father’s will. I love the bright and dark contrasting images and how the story teaches kids the principles of Kwanzaa in a beautifully crafted story 💚

❤️🕯️Countdown to KWANZAA 🕯️💚

It’s 5 days until the start of Kwanzaa, and I’ll be sharing a children’s book about Kwanzaa each day during this countdown.

The third book in our countdown is “It’s Kwanzaa Time” by Linda and Clay Goss, with contributions from their entire family, and stories by various authors.

“It’s Kwanzaa Time” gives an anecdote and tells a story for each day of Kwanzaa and shares which candle to light, the principle, and a symbol before each story.

The back of the book includes songs, DIY zawadi (gift) ideas, games, patterns for clothing, and recipes for the Karamu feast.

I love how thorough this book is. The stories and songs make me excited to celebrate, and the book overall brings the energy that kids love when it comes to celebrating and having fun.

❤️🕯️Countdown to KWANZAA 🕯️💚

It’s 6 days until the start of Kwanzaa, and I’ll be sharing a children’s book about Kwanzaa each day.

The second book in our countdown is “Together for Kwanzaa” by Juwanda G. Ford, a Black author.

The main character, Kayla, is sad that her big brother, Khari, might not make it home from college to celebrate Kwanzaa with their family like he usually does. The family goes on celebrating as usual, and the book explains and gives the pronunciation for each day’s principle as they talk about it in the story. There is a happy ending because her brother makes it home in time to celebrate Karamu, the feast on the 6th day of Kwanzaa.

I love that this book shows a family that is looking forward to Kwanzaa, the same way my family does. While Kwanzaa is a relatively new holiday, it brings us together in such a meaningful way. We reflect on how our family has exemplified the principles in the past, and how we’d like to continue to live by them in the upcoming year.

❤️🕯️Countdown to KWANZAA 🕯️💚

It’s 7 days until the start of Kwanzaa, and I’ll be sharing a children’s book about Kwanzaa each day.

The first book in our countdown is “Li’l Rabbit’s Kwanzaa” by Donna L. Washington, a Black author.

Li’l Rabbit’s Granna is the one who usually organizes and cooks for Karamu, the big feast on the 6th day of Kwanzaa. But this year, she is sick! Li’l Rabbit wants Kwanzaa to go on as usual, so she starts enlisting the help of many of the adults around her. They may not know much about Kwanzaa or the Karamu feast, but they know Granna and how she is a polar in their community. Because of that, they want to contribute however they can.

Li’l Rabbit helps pull off the feast, and everyone is so happy about it! Just when she thinks she didn’t contribute anything at all, Granna reminds her that the feast happened because of Li’l Rabbit’s determination!

This book is a great reminder that even the youngest among us can make a big, positive difference. The story shows many ways to follow the principles of Kwanzaa, and the glossary in the back helps children learn the 7 Principles of Kwanzaa.

is 30 days of chilling the heck out and leaning heavily into my cozy homeschool mom era…

The summer months and the kick off for the 2023-2024 homeschool school year have been HECTIC. The amount of activities we’ve participated in has been impressive and fun, but quite EXCESSIVE. It’s time to take a break and move like the seasons. Let’s slow down and get cozy with autumn.

But let's keep it real - we still have plenty to do. However, I am cutting out the excess and filling it with slow moments at home with family. Join me on this photo/reel/story challenge and take time to revel in the small moments that really make the sweetest memories in our lives.

The best part? There’s no pressure to post everyday. Post when you feel like it. Rest and skip posting on the days that you don’t want to.

Tag and when you tell your stories as you slow down this fall.

⭐️ SEPTEMBER 2023 ⭐️

Wow this month has been wonderfully full, and has really flown by.

🗓️ We’re back in our homeschool routine. Our “Back To Homeschool” celebration was a lot of fun!
📍 We’ve taken so many exciting field trips and outings with homeschool friends
📚 Co-op has been a huge success. We haven’t gotten together like this since they were pre-k age. It’s so nice to have an “official” co-op now that they are of school age
📝 We’re tweaking our routine as we go and still trying to see what works best for us, but things have been going smoothly so far. Not trying to keep a strict daily schedule and “going with the flow” is helpful.
👶🏽 I’m really out here homeschooling a big kid while I also have a baby. WHAT?! It feels like the Wild Wild West trying to get everything done some days 😂 I’m super grateful when my husband can help by taking the baby while I’m instructing. Baby wearing helps sometime. This is definitely the adventure of a lifetime 😂 parenting is wild 😂😂

What’s been your favorite part or takeaway from this September?

I hope September has been good to y’all 🫶🏾 and I hope you have something to look forward to in October 🧡

HOMESCHOOL IS WHEREVER WE GO 🗺️📍

The first picture was taken at because it was a super cool mural. The second picture was taken on a hike the other day while we were trying to do a bird nest nature study. We never found any nests, but we saw this spider! I joined an entomology group on Facebook a while back because G wants to study insects. It was after I posted the real spider to ask for identification in that group that I realized I’d seen one like it before on G’s birthday experience trip. Connecting moments like this make our home learning journey even more fun than it already is 😆🙌🏾

📚 20 books 📚

Because raising a reader requires showing them that reading is important AT HOME.

20 books can be thrifted, gifted, borrowed (hello libraries), swapped, donated, shared…

Give them their own little library at home, encourage them to read, read together, and let books do the magic that they do - transporting them to different worlds and helping them imagine beyond what they can see.

DFW Homeschool friends, there are so many fun things happening soon! 😆🙌🏾

Looking back at old unit studies and activities we did early on because I’m very excited to get started with this year’s “back to homeschool” season 😆

My favorite unit studies have been the ones that G has suggested. He gets so excited when the things he loves are what we talk about in school. I created a dinosaur unit study back in January, signed him up for the dinosaur club on patreon with (this was actually his Christmas present), downloaded some projects and lessons from and other sources that I found by googling, checked out a LOT of books about dinos, and of course visited the museum to see the fossil models and the paleontologists at work on real fossils.

This season he wants to study insects and fish, so I’ll be sharing some of the resources I come across and create as we complete those subjects.

What has been a favorite unit study that you and your kids have completed?

Pre-baby me: “We will NOT do any Santa things!” New mom me: sees my first Black Santa and also finds out we’re from the same small hometown - “We MUST see Santa Larry every year!” @SantaLarry3 is basically family now 💚 I guess you could say that this was one of my first lessons in learning I don’t have to take such a radical stance on things and that we can create our own solutions that work for our family lol. We don’t do gifts from Santa, we teach that Santa is like a mascot to spread joy for the season. Kids being kids, G chose to believe in Santa last year 😂 but didn’t even think about it on the day of Christmas. We’ve had more conversations about it this year and he still loves the spirit of Santa and definitely getting to see Santa Larry, The Santa For ALL, yet again 🥰💚 I would do the trendy IG debate of “Santa or no Santa?” But that’s y’all’s business and I don’t feel like it 😂 HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Reason 1 million why I homeschool 😂 The pumpkin spice of the season (and the infuriating reality happening across the globe right now) is making me spicy this week! Now my kid isn’t going to know everything, and there are “no bad questions” 😂 but I hope he picks up an encyclopedia, checks out a book from the library, or GOOGLES before he gets on anybody’s video speaking from a place of ignorance like this 😂😂 #homeschoolmama #homeschool #homeschoollife #google #research #ignoranceisnotbliss #curiousity

Here’s why I LOVE THIS 👇🏾 I joke about being annoyed by my child wanting to read reference books instead of bedtime stories at night, but I absolutely love his enthusiasm for learning as much as he can about the things that he loves! Lately, he has loved reading and learning about horseshoe crabs. Over the years, he’s wanted to learn as much as possible about dinosaurs, megalodons, construction vehicles, LEGO, prehistoric animals, Pokémon, and more. When he learns something new, he asks anyone who’ll listen “did you know?” questions and inform them of what he’s recently learned. Like, “did you know that horseshoe crabs are NOT crabs, and that scorpions & spiders are their cousins?”, “did you know that their blood is blue and has helped humans?”, and “did you know that horseshoe crabs are ancient creatures and have existed for millions of years?” Kids have the key to making learning fun, even with reference books. We just have to follow them through that door when they open it! Modern reference books for kids are AMAZING! Comment LIST to get our essential reference books blog post. What’s a reference book (fiction or non-fiction) that gets a lot of love at your home? Let me know in the comments 🗣️ 🌟 FOLLOW @tinygreenearthling for more kids book recommendations, homeschool fun & DFW adventures! 🌟

EVERYBODY’S TALKING ABOUT THIS! 🗣️ The stores moved on to the next holiday before the last one even got here. BUT WHY AREN’T WE TALKING ABIUT THIS? 🤫 The “day after sales!” Because the stores want that “old” stuff from yesterday’s holiday GONE! And they’re marking it down deeply from the beginning. No need to wait a few days. BUT HOW DOES THIS APPLY TO HOMESCHOOL? Shopping for next year’s holidays during this year’s sales is a great way for homeschoolers to save time and money! There are so many creative sets, crafts, and decor on sale right now! I grabbed a few Halloween things for next year (oven safe cauldrons, spider rings, googly eyes & more), just like I spent the day after Christmas last year getting a few things (ornament crafts, gingerbread houses, Christmas themed sewing kits, and more). I don’t need to buy anything t for Christmas and winter holiday crafts this year, and hopefully I won’t need to buy anything leading up to Halloween next year. Do you try to catch the day after holiday sales? Will you now? Ps - it’s just the beginning of #NoExcessNovember so I will not be decorating for Christmas yet lol. That Halloween tree will remain a Halloween tree until next week 😂 I’m slowing down and letting it be. Halloween decor, Christmas decor, diy, crafts, handmade, kids crafts, kids diy, sales, savings

We don’t do grades. Grades can give us an overall idea about how much was learned and how much wasn’t in a certain amount of time. They don’t give solutions. They make us anxious. They make us feel like they define us and our intelligence. You can assess how much someone knows without assigning a grade to it. If you don’t limit the amount of time it takes someone to learn something and just continue helping them learn no matter how long it takes… what’s the point of grades? Do you assign grades?

5 Songs That Teach Art & Music as Activism ☀️ Art reflects the times and serves as a record of history. As a result, when artists choose to address social issues, some of our favorite songs end up having important messages in them that can inform us on what was happening at the time they were written. ☀️ Sharing this with G came about because we were listening to @graciescorner. When her version of the Birthday Song 🎂 came on, he also wanted to sing the Stevie Wonder version. I played it too and explained how the song was actually an attempt to make Martin Luther King Day a national holiday. He’s only 6 years old but I know that he soaks up bits and pieces of these convos. This is building a foundation to explore these themes even more as he gets older. ☀️ 5 songs that show art as activism: 🎼 1. “Happy Birthday” by Stevie Wonder 🎼 2. “Georgia On My Mind” by Ray Charles 🎼 3. “Get Up, Stand Up” by Bob Marley and The Wailers 🎼 4. “Fight The Power” by Public Enemy 🎼 5. “War” by Edwin Starr ☀️ A blog post and Spotify playlist are posted on tinygreenearthling.com for Art Activism: Music. This list is limited to songs for younger audiences (primary-elementary) when broken down into simple explanations, but so many more songs could be added for older learners. ☀️ What songs would you add to this list? ☀️ #artactivism #musicactivism #learningathome #homeschoollookslikethis #musichistory #arthistory #blackhomeschoolers

Our local library Grand Prairie Libraries hosted a Lunar New Year celebration 🧧🎉 The Lion Dance and the drumming were both so captivating! We learned about a few traditions such as the “hongbao” lucky red envelope and the wish tree. G wished that people would stop polluting so much, so I helped him shorten that and give it a positive spin - a wish for a clean environment 🎍🌱 The librarians also had a table full of books about the Lunar New Year, so we checked a few out to continue learning about it. The amazing events that our library hosts never get old, and they always present amazing learning opportunities 💚🙌🏾 #lunarnewyear #lunarnewyear2023 #yearoftherabbit #happylunarnewyear

Introducing baby brother to Santa Larry 🎅🏾🎄💚

Our ideas of bedtime stories are very different 😂📚 G wants to read anything that’s like an encyclopedia for prehistoric animals or current animals - especially dinosaurs or anything similar. Those are his favorites because he can learn about new to him species. ➡️ And I’m all like - “that’s not a story!” 😂 ➡️ But I’ve picked the books since day 1, so it’s his time to shine. We read about dinosaurs we can’t pronounce (thank goodness for pronunciation sound bites on Google) and ancient aquatic reptiles each night because it’s what he loves 📚😄💚➡️ #bookstagram #kidsbooks #picturebook #picturebooks #childrensbooks #encyclopedia #thisishowwehomeschool #blackmomsdohomeschool #blackhomeschoolers #representationmatters #blackhomeschool365 #homeschoollookslikethis #dinosaurs #ancienthistory #prettyboyswag #illustratedbooks #readingtime #bedtimestories #bedtimestory

Educational Finds at ALDI USA - Part 2! 🟡 I asked in a story poll and everyone who answered said they use workbooks in their homeschool. 🟡 There were just a few stand alone workbooks left at my local ALDI, but I really loved the “Learning Kits and Storybook Collections” that had a cohesive mix of workbooks, storybooks, flashcards, and activities. 🟡 Check your local ALDI if you’d like to try any of these! 🟡 #homeschool #blackhomeschoolers #homeschoollookslikethis #thisishowwehomeschool #workbook #learnathome

HOW SWAY? We graduated our kindergarten homeschooler this past weekend and… just how?! Time flies!When I was pregnant with him, I had no idea that I had a calling to stay home with him. That wasn’t something I ever saw in my community. I was in daycare from 6 weeks old to 6 years old. 💚When we decided that I would stay home with him, I had no idea that my calling was to educate him. I loved my public school experience, but I yearned for even more for him. 💚And what a joy it has been 🤩🥰 His love for learning is present in everything that we do, and I just want to continue to foster that so that he grows into an adult who never stops loving to learn. 💚I’m so excited for our learning at home (or wherever we end up on any given day) adventures to continue over the summer and for years to come. 💚I am so PROUD of this child of ours, and I love seeing how proud he is of himself. 💚Onward and upward! 💚#tinygreenearthling #homeschool #homeschoolcollective #kindergartenathome #thisishomeschool #welleducatedheart #homeschoolmama #homeschoolkindergarten #homeschoolingmom #thisishowwehomeschool #homeeducation #homeeducationlookslikethis #learnathome #blackhomeschoolers #representationmatters #blackhomeschool365 #blackhomeschoolmom #blackhomeschooling #themelaninvillage #backtohomeschool #homeschoolgraduate #homeschoolgraduation #texashomeschoolers

🗺 Go outside and explore! 🗺 I am excited for our spring, summer, and fall explorations. We don’t have many planned this year, but even time spent out in the backyard with the plants (both garden and weeds) brings us so much joy. Our vacations are filled with natural wonders and learning experiences for the whole family, and I’m always in awe of the hidden gems located so close to where we live. I’ll be sharing some more of our past adventures soon! 😆🙌🏾Do you have any plans to get out and explore during the warm/hot season? Where are you going? Or what has been your favorite place to visit with your little one in the past? #naturekids #letthemexplore #letthembelittle #letthembekids #wildandfree #livethelittlethings #childhoodunplugged #curiouslittleexplorers #freerangekids #natureschool #naturestudy #1000hoursoutside #homeschoollife #blackhomeschoolers #representationmatters #blackhomeschool365 #diversifyoutdoors #outdoorafro #melaninbasecamp #runwildmychild #optoutside #dallastexas #exploretexas #explorearkansas
