You, as a parent, are the original teacher for your children.  What do you teach them?  How often?  What do you wish you had more knowledge about in order to teach them better?  If the answer to the last question is science, then you have come to the right place.  the mission of The Science Spot group and my Science is Everywhere science blog for Cafemom is to help you understand science topics so you can education and inspire your kids to be scientifically excited and scientifically literate.  Check out the group and blog for many ideas on how to teach your child about science in a fun, easy, stress free way!

November 8th, is National Parents as Teachers Day!  The Parents as Teachers National Center has a great website with lots of information on how and why to education your children, whether that education is as a primary homeschooler, early education professional or in conjunction with public school.  Check out their blog for inspiration and information.  There is parenting help, a Focus on Fathers, suggested books, and FAQs.

Make the commitment to educate your child, even if they participate in public school.  You have endless opportunities to help them love the world around them!  Start today, and get ready for National Parents as Teachers Day!

Some of my favorite learning activities I have done with my daughter include our Wildflower study, bug collecting and birdwatching.  Check out my post archives for many (free) ideas!

I just journaled a bit on my experiences being my son's teacher, I should have waited until tommorow LOL. I love being his first teacher. Watching the dawn of understanding or seeing him jump for joy because he figured out something new. I envy teachers who get to see this daily reflected in 60 eyes. I love that even though he has all kinds of resources now that he is older his first instinct is to run it by mom. That's me! I'm the bar by which all knowlege is measured!!

I played school with my children prior to their going to school and they love school. It is my daughters haven.  They love learning. I believe I had something to do with that.  My children have enjoyed many of your journals and links. Very grateful for you science projects and things you have in the group.
