Well, my plan to update each week with things that we do didn’t last very long, did it?
Things got a little busy around here, with Middle Born turning nine just a few days before Christmas, and First Born turned 12 in the middle of January, I started a new course (I’m learning to be a professional pet dog trainer/Family Dog Mediator!) in the beginning of December, we had a super high needs little adorable foster puppy all over the Christmas break, which limited our activities exponentially, and, well, just life happens sometimes.
Some Unschooling highlights include:
- Creating a set of instructions for a game the kids made up so they can teach it to their friends
- Middle Child decided to start writing a story, so she’s been working on that for the last couple of months
- Playing Poker with their Dad, who does not let them win under any circumstances
- Exploring beaches and trails, finding rocks, shells, and bones to research and learn about, along with some seaglass
- A ton of life valuable house hold chores
- Creating with clay and other crafts, as well as some self led experiments
- Enjoying the snow, learning the differences in density, building/constructing forts and sledding routes (with bumps/ramps, of course), effective shoveling, etc
- Lots of board games, reading, and shows
- Exploring where we live and seeing all of the cool holiday traditions
- Learning the needs of a feral little puppy, so that we could teach him that humans and houses are safe (along with walking through doorways, and getting into cars, having strangers touch him, baths, and so, so much more)
