Awesome Project! Rating the Outdoor Space at RI Libraries
Using StoryMaps to Answer Questions
We LOVE our Rhode Island libraries! But what about their outdoor spaces? Local homeschooler, Logan, wondered which libraries in our state were best for reading outside and created a project to find out!
Logan developed his own survey and then visited 71 libraries to collect his data; he even took the ferry to Block Island! Then he designed and built a StoryMap to share his findings. You can see the results of his project here: Public Libraries in Rhode Island

Navigating the Homeschool Maze: Why There’s No Clear “Best”
College Graduate
On my son’s last day of undergrad classes I was ready to go through 12 years of workbooks, papers, notebooks, art, books and all the other things I had saved. We were so excited that day, undergrad was done ! But those boxes in the basement full of our homeschool years. Those boxes had been on my mind. So… we dragged them upstairs and I planned to get through them over the next few days. I wanted to touch everything, not just chuck it all into the recycle without pawing through it first. I wanted to remember each thing, to be surprised by the resources I had forgotten about. I want to cull it down to a few items that I would keep forever. I made piles.

There are two different approaches to math instruction; spiral and mastery. Some children learn math better with one approach instead of the other, but there is no one “best” approach. - Source: ENRICHri thanks and credits Granite State Home Educators (NH) for use of this article.
