How to Build Moana’s Canoe with Popsicle Sticks

Starting today and for the rest of this week, we are diving into the Disney theme for our homeschool summer camp.  Since this is our first attempt to do summer camp at home, we started with a theme that is familiar to our kids and something they are super excited about.  This post contains affiliate links. Please see my full disclosure policy for details.

We Need To Tell Stories

When I was a junior in high school, my English teacher spent pretty much the entire year on Native American literature and writers.  Living in Oklahoma, that wasn't a surprise really, but the amount of time we spent learning about the history and culture of our state's ancestors, especially in an English class was unique to that year alone.  I have always loved discussing literature and the context a writer is coming from so I enjoyed this class for the most part, but by the middle of the second semester I got pretty weighted down from the content.  If you're...
