Lighthouse Family Schoolin': July 2014
http://lighthousefamilycrafts.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Survival in the Wasteland. Tuesday, July 22, 2014. Summer School and Toads. Today, me and Fynn went out to look for turtles, snakes, and skunks. Or anything else we might come across. The only plan i had was to follow Fynn- let him lead and offer only suggestions, no orders. Unless absolutely necessary, which none were). Fynn's only agenda was to look for animals. I dare you to set a time frame and allow your kids to decide what goes on for that time limit. My life has only gotten richer because of it.

Lighthouse Family Schoolin': The Lorax in Black Light
http://lighthousefamilycrafts.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-lorax-in-black-light.html
Survival in the Wasteland. Monday, June 29, 2015. The Lorax in Black Light. One day in April we were at the store getting some art supplies when Fynn saw the book, The Lorax. For sale and was very interested. We always love to encourage reading, especially since we stopped forcing Fynn to read, so we decided to get it for him and Rowan. We had also been watching the Lorax movie and cartoon. Flash backwards to a couple weeks before, when we had the opportunity to see Dino-Light. Most kids can go to a typi...

Lighthouse Family Schoolin': January 2015
http://lighthousefamilycrafts.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Survival in the Wasteland. Saturday, January 31, 2015. This post is all about Little Ol' Ro'. At 2 years and some months, he does what he can to keep up with his 7 year old brother and then some. Here is a solar system Rowan made all on his own from books, a clock, balls, and even a model planet! Most of what he knows about planets, he learned from Fynn. Here is one of Fynn's scale models of the solar system:. Here is a painting Rowan made of the planets; this was before he started making me. One night f...

Lighthouse Family Schoolin': September 2013
http://lighthousefamilycrafts.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Survival in the Wasteland. Sunday, September 22, 2013. Goodbye to Summer and Hello to Fall. Here are some of the last projects we did this summer and a few of the first things we did for "school". Don't tell Fynn that) Next time we will use natural soaps for sure. (Don't worry, they're not so bad now that they're just sitting on the bathroom sink :). It was awesome to see Fynn and Rowan both climbing up and sliding down (sharing happily! And now, Rowan will play us a proper farewell song to Summer. Septe...

Survival in the Wasteland. Tuesday, April 29, 2014. Are hugs socially acceptable? Yesterday me and Fynn were at Beavers Market, a small old-fashioned grocery store. Fynn is six and autistic. I was just looking for what i was looking for and heard a lady's voice saying "Oh! Is it socially acceptable to give someone a hug? Is there an age limit when it stops being socially acceptable to give a stranger a hug? What would you have done in this situation? Leave us a comment to let us know. Links to this post.

Lighthouse Family Schoolin': August 2013
http://lighthousefamilycrafts.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Survival in the Wasteland. Wednesday, August 21, 2013. Our Solar System, made from spokeshavings. And here is Uranus, discovered in 1781. It's th' coldest planet in our solar system, even though it is not th' farthest from th' sun. It spins on an axis nearly perpendicular to the other planets. Just after Uranus is Neptune, now considered th' last planet. Pluto, as Fynn says, has been delisted. Mars would be 83 feet away from that basketball Earth! The fact is that size is a comparison, and we can look in...

Survival in the Wasteland. Tuesday, April 21, 2015. So one morning Fynn was quietly swinging, I was sitting by him drinking my coffee, pushing Rowan, when I thought to introduce some basic algebra. “5 K=10, What's K? 8221; - He got a little smile on his face and said “What? 8221; He thought it was kind of silly, but it wasn't making him laugh, which is th' key to success with him. So after a while I say “5 W = Whale, what's W? 4 K = Kangaroo, what's Kangaroo? 6 T = -12, what's T? Links to this post.
