Our week of unschooling

Aafter a week of unschooling (because i was so sick i didn't have the energy to negotiate) i think i will do it again this week and see how it goes. Shhhh don't tell eric (joke). Last week he did lots of math (but only the math-whizz program he does online) and did well. X watched a lot of magic school bus episodes (he "needed" to watch all of them so lots of youtube searching for the ones not already on his hard drive). He was very excited and spoke of lots of things he learned. He spent a lot of time planning and building wonder woman's hideout/lair for a contest (so cool that he picked wonder woman!). He had to read the instructions and follow them also look up past winners to get a sense of the complexity desired. Also write out plans and discuss ways to make it better. He also wrote/drew (digitally) a lot of comic books. Although i wish there would be more writing on each page, he had some creative and complicated plots (or at least as complicated as any super hero show). And he used the word plot to describe it!! All in all a good week considering he was also a little sick (a cough and cold).
