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).
