With the solar eclipse coming up next week (August 21st), the Homer team has planned an entire day for you and your child to experience this spectacular phenomenon! We’ve prepared snacks, reading, and crafts to encourage you and your child to learn about space and the eclipse before viewing it themselves.
Ideas for Teaching Sight Words from the ‘Sight Word King’
Sheena P. has been a part of our Homer Ambassador group for a few months now, and has recently celebrated success with her son being crowned the ‘Sight Word King’ this summer. It’s not easy to get a budding reader excited about sight words, and she’s willingly shared some of her personal tricks that led to her child’s recent success. We’re excited to share her tips and also laud her son’s great achievement!

Animal Clue Activity

Who doesn’t like to play a game of Clue with their kids? After reading “Who Am I? Wild Animals” in the StoryTime section of the Homer app, take the game offline and think of new animals to use. It only takes a few materials and will allow for the whole family to be involved in the guessing game.
