In light of the pandemic making so many of us learn at home or homeschool, we have decided to make some of our curriculum available to anyone who is interested! Simply fill out the order form below, and we will send you an invoice. Once the invoice is paid, you can either pick up your curriculum at Bluestem or have it delivered to you. We will be adding to our available curriculum as we develop new things, so feel free to check back!
CURRENTLY AVAILABLE CURRICULUM
Dinotastic Adventures
Join Bluestem Montessori as we learn about dinosaurs! We couldn't help but notice that dinosaur activities seem to be geared towards preschool, and that's nuts, because dinosaurs are awesome.
For $75, you will get hours of screen free activities designed for children to work independently. Children will be able to do everything in one week or space it over more time. Topics covered include:
What were the dinosaurs?
Fossilization
Dinosaur adaptations
Paleontologists
Extinction Events
Types of dinosaurs
Each activity will come in its own bag with everything needed. By intention, there is not a digital component to this box. Activities will be hands on, interactive, and sometimes messy.
Two options are available based on grade of the child:
Elementary I (grades K-3)
Elementary II (grades 4-6)
These boxes are available now for delivery within Lincoln city limits, or for families outside of Lincoln, we are happy to ship them!
Fill out the order form below to get your child learning all about dinotastic awesomeness.
ARTIST of the month
Each month, join Bluestem as we learn all about a new artist!
Your child will receive a write up of an artist, examples of their work, and an art project (and supplies!) to help them learn more about that artist and the specific technique or art style we’re highlighting that month!
This month’s artist is Beatrix Potter. We will learn about both her fanciful and her realistic work. Beatrix Potter is well known for her beautiful Peter Rabbit books, which she illustrated using watercolor. Did you know, though, that Beatrix Potter was a master of scientific illustration? We especially love her botanical works.
For $20, you will get
Included in this box is:
a short biography page about Beatrix Potter
full color examples of Beatrix Potter’s artwork
instructions for two projects to paint like Beatrix Potter
a color wheel to paint
link to a video lesson on how to use water colors/color wheel
a set of watercolors
5 sheets of watercolor paper for your masterpieces
