Fun Tracing Play: Oops, I Mean Schoolwork
April 17, 2019

Learning to read and write: When your four year old says, ‘Dad, can you make me another tracing picture?’ you know it was well worth the ten minutes to set it up the first time!

The Dandelion Games
April 11, 2019

Earlier in the day, some lady asked me about the kids not being in school. She said homeschooling sounded like a good idea because of bullying. I told her bullying was just another point on a long list of why schools aren’t an ideal place for kids to be.

Unschool Experiment G2R
March 10, 2019

The six year old knew that already, it was new to the four year old. I was holding a handful of grapes, one a little more wrinkled than the others and other than being brushed off as ‘disgusting’ I offered up an experiment idea.

She asked me, ‘do you think the deer are still there in the winter? I figured they probably were but didn’t know for sure. There was only one thing to do. Well, two things. Get the camera, and go to […]

Chess With Internet Strangers
December 1, 2018

You can teach chess by being an opponent, or by being an Obi-wan Kenobi’s ghost voice. All of a sudden this is a way more fun way to teach chess (a move here and there instead of a physical probably-to-be-unfinished-game-at-a-time is a big plus…and the cleanup is a lot quicker, too)

The Time For Greethology is Now. Get Kraken. Or…Whenever…It’s Unschool
November 28, 2018

When is the right time for them to learn about Greek Mythology? When they are interested in it. I made the six year old a Lego Pegasus because he’s interested in Greek Mythology. The four year old is starting to be interested in Greek Mythology because there’s a Lego Pegasus.

Almost-Winter is Upon Us
November 23, 2018

Well, the days of almost winter are upon us. Snowsuits one day, riding scooters the next. Wet mitts, wet boots, happy, tired kids. The days start dark. Dark enough for the 4yo to call it ‘night’ and stand her ground when being corrected.

November 5, 2018

What a great addition to all the fun of hill climbs (and descents)…add kettlebells!

When the 6yo told me the weights weren’t heavy enough to make him tired, I first thought of getting him more weights. I didn’t think about

Graveyard Deer On Halloween

Halloween was just the day we happened to go there. We were told there were lots of deer living in there who didn’t really care about people all that much. So we went. And it didn’t disappoint!

Obstacles. Three Year Olds are Free. This One Should Be Paying!
June 26, 2018

What a great place for kids of all ages, even for the adults who bring them! Disclaimer: Most adults come prepared to sit and wait, and the cousins we brought came prepared to hate it, so did 🙂 )

The catchphrase I’ve been hearing lately is ‘soft play’. Let the kids go do whatever they want in the safety of their injury-free environment. I suggest hard play for every child.

Unicycling : Getting Closer and Closer!
June 23, 2018

We had a ‘big’ dose of unicycle lessons recently. By big dose, I mean about 20 minutes of practice over a few days. It was a push to see if he could get it before he turned six. He’s not there yet, but it will only be a few more tries…he’ll get it next month for sure…if he wants to…I don’t actually care if he does or not…as long as he keeps practicing whenever…there’s so many other ways they are both being active, it’s low on everyone’s list.

Teachers Don’t Need Training. They Can Even Be Five.
June 13, 2018

“What I like the most about playing dino doctor is teaching her the dino names like you taught me ” – Aidan, 5

I wondered, very briefly, when we had our second kid, isn’t it going to be a lot harder trying to manage two kids learning at different ‘grade levels’? That was quickly replaced with, ‘well, I guess she’ll have two teachers, and he’ll be a teacher of things he learns.’

Community Firefighting for Homeschool
May 19, 2018

Well, the 5yo says to his little sister, you’re officially a firefighter now.

Big day yesterday, we put out a fire! The 5yo smelled smoke first and we saw the ground burning. (when we got closer we could see it was all the wood chips at the base of the sign that were on fire)
