Another full week has gone by. We had family visiting for most of it and the children loved having visitors. My sister and brother-in-law came from their farm in Tennessee to hang with us here in Georgia. We loved having them. The kids adored the epic battles at the playground in the rain with Uncle Joe. Just because we had guest didn't mean that our son, Gabriel, … [Read more...] about A Week in the Life of Unschoolers
Unschooling
A Doctor Who, Paleobiology, and Minecraft Kind of Week
As Unschoolers our children choose what and when they want to learn something. We never force learning because we have found that our children learn better, and are happier when they get to decide what it is they want to learn about. Their love of learning blossomed when we got out of their way and let them take the lead in their education.

Making Nature Fairies
This week the children and I decided to make nature fairies as a welcome to the coming of fall. We saw a post about making them at Twig and Toadstool and the kids loved the idea. With the first cool nights and the leaves changing colors, this is a great time for collecting items outdoors. First we went on a nature hike and found pine cones, acorns, rocks, sticks and leaves. … [Read more...] about Making Nature Fairies

Our Edible Plant Hike
On Friday I took our son, Gabriel, on a hike with a group of other homeschoolers. This hike was led by a Ranger and was going to cover the native edible plants in our area. We arrived at the Chattanooga River Environmental Education Center a bit early so we meandered around the pond until the others arrived. We had to watch our step because the ground was covered in duck poop, but the … [Read more...] about Our Edible Plant Hike
A Week in the Life of Unschoolers
Last week we were on our eight day vacation at the farm in Tennessee. This week, we are back home in Georgia. We got back home Sunday evening and had a grand time unpacking the car. If you have ever traveled with children then you can imagine how messy the vehicle was. We took it to the car wash station and gave it a good bath and vacuuming. My son, Gabriel, began his … [Read more...] about A Week in the Life of Unschoolers
