Happy World Oceans Day!

The CoTree Village celebrated by traveling to the Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium today. Learning should be Adventure!

My kids have all aged out of this wonderful program. Darn it. 10/10 recommend, especially for rainy summer days! https://www.facebook.com/share/18x5vFqxL3/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Sign your children up for 2 free games of bowling all summer long.

CoTree’s Q&A Corner is open to the ENTIRE homeschooling community. Whether you’re Un/Deschooling, Charlotte Mason, Interest Based, or you are a collective of every style, we’d love to hear from you. Your voice matters and it could help encourage another homeschooling family.

This week, we’re diving into “Hidden Gems.” Those locations that you absolutely LOVE to sprinkle into your learning journey. We have Hillsborough and Lee, but if it fits the “this location is great for homeschooling” description, please drop it down in the comments!

Who says homeschooling means watering down the science? Not under our canopy.

We are dropping some major freebie value today with a look directly inside Week 1 of our curriculum platform as we prep for our big Coastal Discovery Quest to The Mote on June 8th!

Here is a quick teaser of what our students are uncovering at home right now to get ready for the field:

🔎 Junior Detectives (Discovery): Learning "comparative anatomy" to find out how whales and manatees solve the same breathing problems in totally different ways. (Parents: Look up "Inside a turtle shell" on YouTube with them tonight!)

🥼 Researchers (Deep Dive): Building a foundation in morphology and logical filtering so they can successfully execute our Shark Dichotomous Key Lab live at the exhibits.

When our kids step onto the property at Mote, they won't just be looking at fish—they’ll be looking at a map of evolutionary traits.

⏳ THE CLOCK IS TICKING:
Early registration is open, but the price raises to $75 this May 31st. SUFS families: June 3rd will be the last day to register if you want to use the Direct Pay option. We need time to receive your funds for the admission. Reimbursement families and Self Pay families, you can register up until June 5th as we need final numbers for lunch before Saturday. Please reach out with any questions: [email protected]

Give your child an education filled with love, light, and serious academic spark.

Tuesday’s are for thinking and we’ve got just the thing to get those wheels spinning!

It’s Riddle Time! Can you solve it?

I start small like a secret in the dirt. I need a drink and a sunbath to wake up. What am I?

We are growing! What is one seed of a goal your family is planting for the summer? Let us know in the comments. We’ll celebrate each step with you!
