Well, It has been much time since my last post and there are so many things to talk about. Unschooling isn't my favorite term these days, but is my most favorite way to homeschool!!!! We were recently interviewed for a local TV station Teen Show by a couple of the local high school students. Wow what an experience!
The Unschooling, or "Student Led Learning" as I like to call it... has been amazing.
VWNut has pulled out Math and Science books without being asked. We don't fight to do any work at all any more. He signed up for an Economics class on Florida Virtual School all on his own.
Lil Cuz draws, writes, journals all day long. She has started playing computer "math" games learning mastering multiplication at Funbrain She has written plays and acted them out with The Princess.
The Princess plays games with letters and writing and since has decided that she doesn't want to learn to read write now we just say we are playing games and all the while... shhh don't tell her... we are reading! She loves Math and all the fun games we do with that. She decided to count the money in her piggy bank the other day and so we decided to learn about money and we made a graph and estimated and grouped and counted by 1's, 5's, 10's, and 25's and had a blast!
UNSCHOOLING, u-hem, I mean Student Led Learning.... IS SO INCREDIBLE!!!! We are all so much happier for it!
Love the pic! Sounds like things are going great, which is very inspiring. I'm going to have to try your approach to reading for Caroline, as she made the same decision as The Princess :). Looking forward to hearing more!
