10 Days of Learning with Minecraft

minecraft learning, minecraft homeschool

Every time you turn around, your child is absorbed. On the iPod, on the computer or on their gaming console, they’re deeply involved with Minecraft.

They talk about it daily. “Look Mom, that building looks just like the one I built in Minecraft,” remarked my daughter as we were doing errands around town. She dreams about it too.

Sometimes I worry it’s taking over our life. Instead of fighting it, I’m giving in. For the next 10 days,  Minecraft will be taking over Adorable Chaos!

Whether you homeschool or not, this series can help you expand your child’s learning in a variety of topics while playing a game they love. I’ll share what we’ve been doing here, as well as some terrific ideas inspired by other players (and teachers!) around the world.

Here’s the line up for the 10 Days of Learning with Minecraft:

The following post is a flashback, written shortly after I was diagnosed with Lyme and put on a restricted diet. Years later,  I’m still on it. I’m still dealing with Lyme. A true addict, I’m still craving the sweet stuff. A few things are essential to my happy survival. They are faith, hope, love and until […]

16 Hours in Lake Placid

This is the story of  a wedding, a road trip and finding direction. We set out at the crack of dawn to drive north on a damp icky September morning. It was actually 9:30, but it felt earlier because it was Saturday. We were on our way to a wedding, in Lake Placid. ON Lake […]

7 Colleges for Homeschooled, Unschooled and Self-Directed Learners

  I began researching colleges last year, when my daughter began her Freshman year of homeschooling high school. Does that sound a bit early? I feel that the more I know about college requirements for homeschooled students, the more effectively I can prepare my daughter for the admissions process. I think as a homeschool parent, it’s essential to know all the options available. […]

Aboriginal Art with Sharpies

My girls have been fascinated by Australia lately – the wildlife, the landscape and (of course) the mythical mermaids. This interest has launched us into a study of the land down under, including the history and art of the Aborigines. I wanted to add a hands-on art project to our study. My friend Cyndi, at […]
