🪨✨ New at Rooted & Rising: Play-Based Geology (10 Weeks!) ✨🪨
If your child loves to touch, build, ask questions, create, and move — this class was made for them.
This 10-week geology class is not a sit-and-listen science class. It’s a hands-on, play-based, deeply engaging experience where children learn by doing, creating, and connecting.
Here’s what makes it special:
🌋 Real science, taught playfully
We’ll explore rocks, volcanoes, crystals, caves, landforms, and more through short visual lessons followed by experiments, art, and discovery. Kids won’t just learn geology — they’ll experience it.
🎨 Art + science woven together
From marbling and natural-materials art to crystal studies and design projects, children will explore how the Earth inspires creativity and human expression.
🧠 Confidence-building group work & presentations
Children will work together, solve problems, and (gently!) practice presenting in front of the class — developing communication and leadership skills that are often hard to cultivate in a typical homeschool setting.
🤝 Connection & friendship
Over 10 weeks, children build familiarity, trust, and real friendships. This class is intentionally designed to help kids connect — not just show up.
🛝 Class time + playtime
Each week includes both structured class time and free play at Play Jungle, giving kids space to move, decompress, and build friendships naturally.
🎶 Multi-sensory & engaging
Music, movement, visuals, hands-on materials, and group experiences keep kids engaged and excited to return each week.
This class is ideal for elementary-aged homeschoolers who thrive with playful learning, meaningful friendships, and rich educational content — all in one place.
If you’ve been looking for a class that feels joyful, intentional, and truly memorable, we’d love to have your child join us. 💛
