Strewing: DIY Summer Learning for Your Family

Dates: May 2
Time: 9:30-11:30 a.m.  
Class designed for: Ages 18 and up
Instructor: Stacey Sanford
Location: Storm Shelter at the Jackson Avenue Center

This workshop invited parents and caregivers to focus on "What is strewing?" and how to make it work for screen free learning in your home this summer. Perfect for babysitters, homeschool parents, parents who work from home during the summer, grandparents who babysit, or that awesome aunt who wants to play with younger family.

Strewing is a classic homeschool technique for all ages that creates invitations to play or explore. In this class, we will discuss how it works, how to create materials, set up, clean up, and hundreds of ideas to get started. Create a playbook, a schedule, or just be inspired to create more play at home. This class is perfect to invite your family to play, learn, and grow over the summer.

Participants will create handmade supplies, a summer schedule that fits their family, a Strewing Playbook, ideas for alternatives, and more. Recipes, printables, and tips are all included.
