Unschooling Ideas for all subjects

-
Image
The boys all piled into my bed for some snuggling and cuddling.  We talked and just enjoyed hanging out with one another for quite a bit.  Once they all started tickling one another, feet were flying and wrestling ensued I decided to sneak out and spend some time on the computer coming up with a plan of activities.



It seems our weeks go best when I have activity ideas already in my mind when the week begins. 

 If we don't get around to them it's not a big deal, but it seems to work best if I have suggestions for some fun learning games and projects.

Typically I only plan enough activities to last us until lunch and then they're on their own for actual unschooling.

I don't force anyone to participate in any lesson or activity;  I suggest things to do that I hope they'll be interested in.

Lately, I've made the mistake of not having ideas at the ready and it seems like we're all floundering for things to do.  I started out trying to make a list of 5 activitie…

Harry Potter Unit-- Aragog's Web and Bubble Tea

-
Image
We're looking at finishing up our Harry Potter unit over the next few days.

It's been a lot of fun and I'm so thankful for Pinterest and all the ideas I found!  We've had a great time combining our traditional schoolwork with some fun Harry Potter themed activities, crafts, and treats.  
Today we're playing a fun sight word game, mixing up some bubble tea to drink,


Evan played a sight word game using Aragog's Web: He had to escape from Aragog's web by feeding him sight words instead.  I had set up a masking tape web in one of our doorways and put a few sticky note sight word cards nearby.  He had to read the word and then the plan was to ball them up and throw them into the web.  Only balling up the paper made the words so small that they sailed right through the gaps in the tape! Oops!

Throwing the paper while it was flat or folded in half made it float softly down to the ground.... so Evan decided to just put the words in the web.

He still thought it wa…

99 Unschooling ideas and projects

We've been leaning more and more towards unschooling.  I love the idea of letting the children lead.

I have been thinking of all the ways my children learn naturally through life and play.  I was getting excited and didn't want to forget any of them so I thought if I was going to be writing it down I might was well jot the list down on the blog and that way you can all share in my ideas.

Suggestions are always appreciated!


I have my ideas organized by subject since that makes it easier for me (even though many of these subjects/ project/ game ideas would touch upon more than one subject).  I don't plan to make them cover all the subjects all the time but I want to encourage them to bring as many subjects into their everyday lives as they can.

I thought we'd start with this questionnaire called When I Learn... that asks kids to think about how they learn best.  Not all questions will pertain to us since we're homeschoolers and unschooling at that but I figured it w…

100 Things to Look at Under a Microscope

-

We bought our microscope for the boys a year or so ago and while I can't say we use it all the time I have found it's the perfect way to get them interested in some science when I'm having a day where I just don't have the time or the inclination to do an actual experiment with the boys.

There's something about looking at things through the lens of the microscope that make it seem magical.


When we purchased our microscope we bought a kit of prepared slides and have had fun looking at everything included in our kit.

However, there came a time when we had to branch out and experiment with other things to look at under the microscope.  We bought some blank slides and have had a great time looking around trying to see what we can examine.

Once we started we quickly tried to think of ways to include anything and everything from around the house.

It's important to remember that the objects need to be fairly small, should be somewhat see through with light coming t…

Unschooling Summer Week #5

-
Image
Once again we had a very nice week around here.  We didn't have much to do and enjoyed a bit of downtime.  We went to the beach, went to check out their father's latest project at work, and spent quite a bit of time at the library.  We had a few rainy days and happily spent them at home watching YouTube videos, movies and TV.  We were a bit busy gearing up for the holiday weekend and checking out new recipes to try at our huge family reunion/ cookout.  I couldn't find as much evidence of traditional school- type learning as usual but that's OK. Even if we learned a little less this week it's OK to take a bit of break now and then.  I noticed the boys sleeping more and lying around in their pajamas so we all obviously needed a bit of break and, to me, that's what summer is all about.  It's the perfect time to relax and recharge.
