Every Kid in a Park!
To help engage and create our next generation of park visitors, supporters and advocates, Federal Land Management agencies, launched the Every Kid in a Park initiative. The immediate goal is to provide an opportunity for each and every 4th-grade student across the country to experience their federal public lands and waters in person throughout the school year.
Every year, beginning September 1, all kids in the fourth grade have access to their own Every Kid in a Park pass at www.everykidinapark.gov. This pass provides free access to national parks across the country.
The Every Kid in a Park pass is good for the 4th grade school year, until August 31, 2019. Information on obtaining the pass is available by visiting www.everykidinapark.gov.

This Week's Curriculum Spotlight: Tinker The Robot!
Have you considered utilizing a mobile workshop to spice up your tired science curriculum? Check out what Kay from Tinker The Robot has to say below! Also, be sure to catch her at the Murrieta vendor event for more information!
Are you and your child always looking for fun and adventure? Does the idea of going on a time-traveling quest intrigue you? Is your eyebrow raised? ;)
Then come by and check out Tinker the Robot at the Murrieta Vendor Fair or follow us on Facebook or send us an email (kay@tinkertherobot.com) or send us a note by carrier pigeon.
Not totally convinced yet? Well, Tinker the Robot was created by two engineers who love tinkering, hacking and dreaming up crazy inventions. Yes, we've built a remote control cookie oven. And now we want to share that love with you and your kids! We’ve created an Adventure in a Box where you and your kids will join Tinker on a journey while building prototypes and learning science and engineering! These kits will help your child make connections between their science experiments and real-world applications.

Teaching Tip of the Week: A list of tips to get you through the week.
-Start the day with eye contact and a smile. Whatever is going on, those little moments of one on one eye contact with a few words or even just a hug, go a long way to get your days moving in a positive direction.
- Turn on some music! Motivate with upbeat music or help your children focus with some classical music in the background. Music can be an excellent addition to your homeschool day!
- Take breaks! Go on walks, cook together, go for a drive or have a dance break!
-Take some time together as a family to plan out some of the things you want to do in your school year. Let the kids contribute their thoughts and ideas.
- If something isn't working, stop. Don't keep trying to force a system that doesn't work for your family. Don't be afraid to try a new curriculum or approach. All of it is a success if you are consistently pursuing rich education with your children. All of the successes and seemingly failures are a part of the beautiful story you are weaving together.
- Consider a simple co-op with friends. Each parent picks a topic they would like to teach. It can be something as simple as just reading books to the kids about what you are interested in. The more you try the easier it gets, and then you will find your self buried in a sea of amazing educational opportunities!
- If all else fails and you simply cannot think of getting involved in one more thing, then just surround yourself with books. If you spent your days cooking, cleaning, snuggling your kids and reading to them about every topic under the sun they will be filled up well and turn out just fine. ❤
Hopefully, this simple list has left you encouraged and motivated to keep going. If not, reach out! We can help give you ideas to re-ignite the flame inside you for homeschooling!

Audrey Everson
Hi everyone! I am a mom of 3 awesome kids ranging in age from 10 to 6 years old. My husband and I are high school sweethearts and have been married for 16 years. Having homeschooled our children over the last 6 years in 3 different states, I've found homeschooling here in California, especially with Inspire Charter, has been a great fit for our homeschool journey. I am grateful for our ability to homeschool so freely and I aspire to assist other families with their own homeschool adventures!
