100 Days of Science #8-- Un Make It! Monday

-
We had a broken VCR/DVD player that we knew we could not fix so I offered to let the boys completely dismantle it and the accompanying remote that came with it.

They had the best time taking everything apart, inspecting all the little pieces and figuring out HOW it must have worked.

The DVD player 







My husband often dismantles things to fix it and we try to include the boys as often as possible.  It's a great way to learn how things work together and what the various parts do.

Christmas Crafts for Middle School Students

-
Image
We typically spend the month of December baking lots of holiday treats, trying out some new craft projects (and hopefully turning a few into gifts), watching lots of Christmas movies and reading books about the holiday.

 It's a fun time but as my boys have gotten older it's been a bit harder to find craft projects that are at just the right skill level; not so easy and babyish they shy away from them but not so adult and hard that they struggle.  So I've been looking and trying to find crafts that would meet with the approval of my middle schooler (as well as my younger kids).  Here's a list of crafts we've compiled:


1.  Tin Can Luminaries--These cans from My Happy Crafts are just what I was picturing when I thought of doing this project with the boys.  Festive, easy and fun and they're sure to love any project that requires a hammer!



2.  Decorating Gingerbread Houses-- We decorate a house (or more) each year and it's our annual tradition.  We typically bu…

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…

November Pinterest Challenge-- Zero Point WW Taco Soup

-
Image
It's the third Tuesday of the month and time for another Pinterest Challenge!  I love a nice hot soup on a cold day and when I saw this pin for Taco Soup on Pinterest (that was also Weight Watchers friendly!) I just knew I had to give it a try.  All three of my boys actually eat tacos so I thought they might be open to trying the soup as well.



I changed the recipe a bit to fit our tastes and what I had in our pantry.

Ingredients:

1 lb. lean ground turkey
2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix (I make my own but one store bought packet would work)
2 cups reduced fat beef broth
2 cups water
14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes with the juice
14.5 ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 package frozen corn kernels

I browned the turkey in a skillet and then added all the ingredients to the crock pot and set it on low for the day.  Within just an hour, you could already smell the taco seasoning.


Since the soup was zero points we could have made corn bread or any sort of homemade bread to serv…

Friday Favorites: Amazon Tour Week

We had a pretty good week despite 4 days of rain!  We managed to squeeze in some hiking, a fun field trip, and my husband and I also had a COUPLE of dates-- as in more than one!  How was your week?



Alec and I were out of the house nice and early on Friday for his annual physical.  As soon as we finished up at the doctor's office we headed home, picked up his brothers and headed out to meet up with our friends for a hike.  We had beautiful weather and a wonderful day catching up with friends we only get to see a few times a year. Funny enough we hiked this exact same trail last year on Halloween. We found the squirrels and chipmunks were so cute and playful while storing up nuts for the winter.  The boys played Bears Vs. Babies (a card game from the makers of Exploding Kittens) and had a ball!









I ran a bunch of errands Saturday morning and Alec began a baking marathon.  Making cupcakes, piping chocolate "legs" (explained later in the post I promise!), and candy corn blon…

99 Unschooling ideas and projects

-
Image
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…
