Hello, Dedicated Homeschooling Parents!
Stepping into second grade is an exciting time for your children and you. It's a year where curiosity blooms and the seeds of foundational knowledge begin to sprout into a garden of deeper understanding and exploration. At Braindance Academy, we're thrilled to accompany you on this incredible part of your homeschooling adventure with our STEAM-integrated Reading Workshop Approach.
This year, we're setting sail on a thrilling expedition with "Around the World in Eighty Days" and discovering the rich tapestry of our planet with "If the World Were a Village." It’s a curriculum designed not just to meet educational standards but to transcend them, fostering a genuine love for learning that crosses disciplines and borders alike.
Our curriculum draws upon the enlightening pedagogical philosophies of Geri Lane, emphasizing a growth mindset and the integration of the Theory of Multiple Intelligences. We celebrate each child's unique way of learning and interacting with the world, ensuring that our marketplace products support a diverse range of educational needs and interests.
Imagine transforming your living space into a global classroom where every lesson is an adventure, every activity a discovery. The Braindance Marketplace is here to make that vision a reality. From globes that illuminate Phileas Fogg's voyage to art supplies for creating your own version of the world's diverse ecosystems, every product is selected to enrich your homeschooling experience and bring the curriculum to life.
But it's not just about geography and cultures; it's about connecting those discoveries back to core STEAM principles. When we explore "Nature's Green Umbrella," we're not just learning about rainforests; we're understanding biodiversity, conservation, and the delicate balance of ecosystems. Our STEAM activities, such as building terrariums or creating recycled art, are not just fun diversions—they're integral steps in understanding the interconnectedness of our world.
We know that one of the challenges of homeschooling is finding resources that meet your high standards for educational value without overwhelming your schedule or budget. That's where our marketplace shines. We provide flexible, high-quality, and affordably priced resources that align with the Common Core State Standards, Next Generation Science Standards, C3-Social Studies Framework, and National Standards across subjects. Plus, every purchase supports the mission of providing exceptional free educational content.
This year, as we journey through literature, science, mathematics, and the arts, we invite you to view each topic not as a standalone subject but as part of a greater tapestry of knowledge. Encourage your child to ask questions, seek answers, and explore the countless wonders of our world. And remember, you're not alone on this voyage. The Braindance community is here, sharing insights, experiences, and support.
Together, you'll make the second grade a year of unforgettable growth, discovery, and joy.
Thank you for choosing to partner with us on this educational journey. Here's to a year filled with wonder, learning, and exploration.
To Your Success,
Geri Lane
