Learner Spotlight – Kerry Stiles
Kerry Stiles is an iLEAD Exploration learner in the seventh grade. For Kerry, one of the highlights of homeschooling are the classes he enjoys taking at The Arbor Learning Community. His studies include physics, life science and “History of the World: Barter and Trade.” He is engaged in many hands-on projects as he learns. For example, while learning about the ancient African and Arabian trades, Kerry said, “We mummified apples and worked on copper tooling, which was fun!”
Science is also very interesting to Kerry. He said, “I like learning how to use and explore with the microscope. Looking at prepared slides is interesting and I enjoyed seeing the cheek cells of my classmates! We also searched the school and took bacteria cell samples and placed them in a petri dish and observed the growth the following week.”
