Welcome to Homeschool Days with the IMAS, 2020-2021!
Join IMAS Educators and peers for an afternoon of novel, exciting hands-on art and science experiences! Homeschool Days with the IMAS is a virtual, small-group workshop hosted on Zoom.
This season has been adapted to a virtual format. An activity kit is provided although general supplies like scissors, glue, and writing and coloring tools are not included. Registrants will be emailed a pickup confirmation, a digital copy of the lesson, and the webinar link.
We are a family that is homeschooling our kids. We are museum members and have attended the homeschool classes, as well as other programs and camps for years now. We also participated in classes at the libraries and nature centers. We had a community garden and meet-ups with friends. All of that was an important part of our homeschooling experience, and now none of that is happening. Most of the programs we relied on for input and interaction have not gone virtual.
My kids participated in the first virtual homeschool class you offered, and they loved it and needed it! It was a rare chance, in these times, for them to interact with teachers and students that they have known in person. I think it may be extra hard on homeschoolers right now because most of the interactive community programs our kids participated in have not gone virtual.
They need more of this. We’d sign up for weekly sessions, if you offered it…
We hope the museum can continue to play an important role in the education of our children. Thank you.
1st & 2nd graders will play with different fabrics and patterns as you design your own mini quilt.
3rd – 5th graders will learn about traditional textile techniques from around the world and create your own mini loom.
Middle and high school groups will explore contemporary textile art by creating your own mixed-media piece.
