[quote=Anonymous]Our DC started in Montessori. This introduced science with their outdoor classroom, growing plants from seeds, water cycle, and other ways little kids can relate to.

Ours was very strong in reading, not as strong in math. So we bought math workbooks at the (bricks and mortar) bookstore that covered the same material as her class. She just needed more practice than her school offered to really memorize addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.  Now her math and reading are both strong.

At Xmas and birthdays, we include at least one gift that is a math/science STEM toy. SnapCircuits are great for basic electricity.  A crystal radio kit also is good.  Books on "How Things Work". Some age-appropriate science biographies. Lego Technic are good for how machinery moves and works. We take her to the Air & Space museum and Natural History museum. We sometimes watch a selected PBS NOVA or PBS Nature episode - watching together as a family - on the AppleTV. It takes effort, but it will work. [/quote]
