SQUILT Lesson #6 - Mozart's 12 Variations on "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"

January 17, 2013

Looking for a simple way to incorporate music education into your homeschool?

These SQUILT lessons are designed to do just that.

Each week we incorporate music into our learning. Some weeks I decide to make a full blown lesson, and other weeks it is just listening for the sake of listening.

This week our selection is from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (whose birthday is this month, by the way), and it is Variations on Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.

Math Fun with Pick-Up Sticks

December 12, 2012

My sweet little boy is turning 8 this week.

His older sister wanted to choose a gift for him that was unique.

I was thrilled when she chose a set of jacks, an old fashioned balloon art set, and Pick-Up Sticks!

It wasn't until we started playing that I realized the HUGE math benefits of playing Pick-Up Sticks.
