We haven’t been doing too much by way of formal training. Unschooling is fun that way. You don’t have to run around making plans all the time. We have been reading a few books of his choosing. One talks about the inner workings of the body. He is fascinated by the inner human form. I [...]
I got another unit yesterday. Weird, because we just got the other one. Well, it came with a cd that reads the book to you. He already did that. He also made the small scrapbook and has been putting his artwork in it. I think we will begin to do that with his larger art [...]
I was looking for a chart or list of things my son should be doing for himself at his age. I found a good one that gave me some insight into what I am allowing him to do. Right now he can prepare his own peanut butter and jelly or tuna sandwiches set and clear [...]
Yes in recent news, he can count by 20′s and it’s pretty shocking to me LOL He can also recognize/predict words by the sounds the letters make. This morning he was playing his new Sesame Street V-smile game and he was rhyming words pretty well. I am proud of his progress. He is also picking [...]
Funny how children can be so perceptive and we can be thinking the same thoughts as they are. Just look at my friend Sindy’s son Josh. I mean, wow. I thought that I was upset about Christmas music being so early in the year. It was pretty funny to read about his reaction. I love [...]
That’s what he told my mother today when she said she had to go so she could jump in the shower. My son chimes in with a very stern look on his face “Don’t jump in the shower! You’ll get in trouble for being bad and hurt yourself!” When he was visiting his other grandparents, [...]
We had some cooking lessons going on at the house for Thanksgiving. You can see that great adventure here. My friend Sam showed me this about how others are homeschooling in a child-led fashion successfully. It’s in the New York Times. It’s so satisfying to read about things like this. They just help to spurn [...]
As parents, I think we tend to do comparisons within our families from child to child, and within our society from child to child. This is a dangerous habit that we really should focus on breaking. It doesn’t really matter how fast your child progresses as opposed to the way other children progress. Each child [...]
Brought out my son’s doctor kit and his tool kit. I wanted to see which one he would play with more. Come to find out, playing doctor is only mildly amusing and tools will keep him busy for hours. He now has my former car radio and our former dvd-rom to practice on, hopefully saving [...]
We got his new packet in the mail today. The workbook is a little over his head I think, but he still is working his way through a number of others. He just learned about univalve and bivalve creatures with the help of the shells he got in the packet and the wonderful world of [...]
