Homeschooling
Artistic Endeavors
So C is with grandma and papa for the weekend. I’m sure they are busy adventuring. Meanwhile biggest and littlest are evidently feeling artsy. After a few hours on skype playing minecraft with friends, D started watching youtube videos of drawing tutorials. For a kid who never even wanted to hold a crayon or finger … Continue reading
Today
What do you do all day is probably the most common question I hear. And every day can be different. Compared to people who have full curriculum and do it at home we are very unschool. Compared to some unschooler the fact that I make suggestions or that they attend a homeschool enrichment program run … Continue reading
Too Much To Decide
Monday was full of fun and kids and noise and all sorts of different homeschoolers. Arizona Homeschool Theater held tryout for the spring play. Last fall D was in Romeo and Juliet. He joined the cast very late because they were looking for another boy and we have friends that have performed with them through … Continue reading
That’s How We Roll
That’s how we roll…well that could be referring to the bike ride everyone not still coughing took today. But I was actually thinking of spending the last few days with the boys making new Dungeons & Dragons characters. For the first quest they did, the dad who is the dungeon master and teaching them to … Continue reading
Icky Sickies
The last few days we’ve been fighting off the sickies. Nothing major, just tired and an annoying cough. Monday D and C went to the first meeting for the Arizona Homeschool Theater program, while their sister stayed home sick with grandma, and then we pretty much laid around all day. Tuesday they all went to … Continue reading
Roller Grooving’
Okay, so I’m behind. We’ve been doing our thing…things. Last thursday we went roller skating with some friends. Fun, exercise and groovy with the black lights and glow sticks. Your browser does not support the video tag Weekend was spent with grandma. Eat, read, watch movie, play, repeat :)
Internet Wandering
I’m often asked what we do all day. That is a lot of why I do this, why I’m trying to get back in the habit now that the blog is fixed. If you asked what we did last week or last month, I’d be able to tell you the big things – vacations, field … Continue reading
Life on the Fly
Somehow with everything being put on hold with the holidays, our homeschool group ended up completely over-scheduled yesterday. Never let it be said there is nothing to do around here as homeschoolers. Yesterday morning we had science co-op. We learned about buoyancy and propulsion. After learning about the theory, the kids build boats from halved … Continue reading
From Pirates to Punk
Right now I have one sleeping, two if you count daddy, one reading a Magic Treehouse book and one doing Mighty Mind puzzles. Random. Yesterday definitely had that eclectic random feeling we specialize in sometimes, but added busy. We headed over to the Arizona Science Center. While we’d planned just to walk around, we saw … Continue reading
Learning Away From Home
While some homeschoolers would consider any school learning to bump you from that huge homeschool label, my guys like to go to an enrichment program that run two days a week. They like the no-pressure classes and seeing friends; I use the time to recharge. We missed the first day of the new semester because … Continue reading
